  • In today’s video, you can see the step by step installation of my new luxury putting green! I’ve been saving for this thing for a little while and it finally came to fruition!
    The weeds were getting extremely bad and worse every year. We found that Stella was super allergic to them so I took action getting this done!
    It’s not in the video but I helped with digging out the weeds myself to the degree that I wanted. The guys were awesome about mixing up the weed killer really strong!
    It’s actually been a couple months now and there’s not a weed in sight even after a bunch of rain and pool splashing!
    Be sure to stay tuned to the end so you catch Stella having fun at the park!

    How’s it holding up? Usually if you don’t water the rock in between running the compactor it will settle with time. The dry rock won’t pack as tight as when it’s been wetted. Curious if you’ve noticed your base loosening/settling.

      I helped! Lol. I’m so ocd… I would’ve had to make sure every last red rock was out of the area before moving on to the next step. Lol. It’s the only thing I’ve hired out so far. Well, except for getting an entirely new HVAC system for the house. But I helped with that too for a steep discount. 😉

    First off, looks great and enjoyed the video. Watched it multiple times already. I'm doing the same project in my front yard 20 x 20 and just laid down the class 2 Bass Down. When they put the cups in did they put the cups in before the putting green was down or did they cut the holes after the putting green was down?

    • @thehandymanlife
      @thehandymanlife  Год назад

      I’m pretty sure they laid it down and then cut the cup holes out. Special tool to do it.

    It looks like an easy DIY. You have to use 2 different types of turf?
    Can you list the materials ?

    • @thehandymanlife
      @thehandymanlife  9 месяцев назад

      It was just two different weights of turf. I’m not super familiar with the materials in particular the turf. The sand used was just regular sand from the home improvement store.

      @matthewxramirez Год назад +2

      For putting green I think 60 is recommended, not the 20 they used. The larger the number the finer the grain and the finer the grain the smoother the turf will be.

    You skipped over the guts of what we need to learn...How did they put clips in, how did they whack ground, how did they cut fringe grass around green after rolling fringe grass over and around green!
    Great rusult though, just would of liked more blood n guts detail.

    • @thehandymanlife
      @thehandymanlife  11 месяцев назад +1

      There was a special tool they used to cut the cup hole out. They didn’t really cut the longer grass around the lower green. It sorta just butts up to it and folds over. I got as much of the details of the install as I could! Thanks for watching!

I loved the video and your positivity, so didn't want to come across negative but as I was about to install my putting green (whacked ground, cut in green and cups today, doing fringe tomorrow) I was after as much detail as possible.
      Subbed to your channel and watching your other vids, which deserve way more views.
      I'm going to start a seperate DIY channel and show how I made my rock waterfall/pond & putting green...Going to be super extensive.
      I'll let you know name of channel when I come up with a name for it.

      Sounds awesome! I’ll be sure to sub back! I had to decide if I was going to focus my channel on DIY or lifestyle and I picked Lifestyle. It makes it so that viewers will probably have to watch more decisively in order to gain the diy knowledge. I have debated starting a different channel with strictly “How-To” energy. Perhaps it would do well!

    When they ran that compactor over your green my eyes almost exploded. And then when he took scissors to your turf at the end I wanted to cry. You recorded him cutting your money away and you made it sound like a good thing. I’m sorry.

      Thanks for the input! What method do you recommend? Also remember this is in Phoenix, Arizona. Turf install could be different in different locations? I’m not the expert at this which is why it’s the only thing I’ve hired out. Hindsight tells me I wish they wouldn’t have trimmed the turf with scissors because I was adding tile (3/4” higher) to the patio. But yes, it seemed like a cool detail in the moment.
