I'm in the remodeling gig in Texas. But seeing these videos reminds were I started. Ed Childress contractor from Santa Cruz California. Picking rasberries and apples to cutting grass. Hard work pays off.
20 minute long video on how to install an amazing putting green but nobody tries to make a putt?!?! Hahaha great job guys! Super thorough work as always. Some times overkill is better. Especially when your reputation is on the line! Keep it up Odell crew!
Nice tip on tucking the putting green under the turf. Noted G. Edgar is the man! I’d buy this man a taco, beer, smoke, lap dance, tool? Hahah he’s good to have on your team lol
I'm looking in to a outdoor putting green wow probably the best install I've seen . And if I had to guess Edgar has some greens keeping experience one thing I've noticed is it is a 100 % better to cut holes after so you don't have cuping around the hole . You guys want to come to Nevada lol
Great work here!!! I did notice you nailed in some landscaping staples directly on the putting green as well. After you put in all the nails/staples between the putting green and artificial turf to secure things -- safe to assume you removed the staples that were directly on the putting green?
nice job. What grain direction did you lay the fringe relative to the putting green? All one direction? Or is it better to have the fringe direction facing the putting green all the way around?
AWESOME JOB! Materials list? nails and staples? cup hole cutter? so no nails in the putting surface, just stretch and staple at the ends? I am going to try one at my house then install some at my customers here in Pittsburgh PA
So gorgeous. I’m about to do one of my own at my house and I can tell you right now, it’s not going to look like this. Lol. I will do everything in my power to make it look as decent as possible but it def won’t be this clean.
Can you tell me what type /brand of turf you used? Id like to try a putting green for my sons on our property. I have a lot of construction experience, just not sure what is the best turf to buy. THX
You guys are awesome with concrete, I could never do what y’all do. But I install turf for a living. Used many techniques, but this was not good. Sand on top of the base is horrible. Sand will shift. Always. It’s loose and will shift. You want to use a thin layer of decomposed granite (grey fines), fills low spots, packs smooth with a vibrating plate and now you have a smooth surface that doesn’t have any exposed rock, doesn’t make crunching noises when walking on it, and more importantly, will never shift. The big staples? Bad idea. Always visible and ugly, and if your ground is compacted hard they bend. Use the 3.5” finishing nails or seam tape/glue they are way less visible than those hideous stitches. Sand as infill? Sand has dirt and dirt will attract molds, fungus’ and can potentially grow weeds, and holds in moisture, you have to use a silica, vinyl type infill that contains no “sand”. And lastly, it’s ok to “Frankenstein” pieces in so long as you can’t see the seam, and all your grain is going the same direction. It appears there were parts where the grains weren’t lined up in the fringe, Which doesn’t look good with pieces going a different direction, and Bc of that those seams are visible. There were other techniques you used that I don’t, but I thought were ok, because there are many ways to skin a cat. But those ones I mentioned are a big deal. I’ve learned a lot about concrete from watching you guys, but take my advise on these things. For Turf is my jungle and I know it well. 😎😄
I also install turf for a living and this was hard to watch. I will completely agree with the gentleman who first commented. I glue everything then stake the perimeter. I would have been fired for putting in all those SOD STAPLES.
Matt Duffey terribly sorry as I’m just seeing your comment. The guy who just commented was the only alert I have ever got off this comment lol. Hope your green turned out well. But those 3.5” nails are finishing nails, and you can get at any hardware store. Even in a years time, I have changed my technique. I now create my entire outline of the putting green, with 2” bendaboard. My fringe and green line up and get cut to the shape, and I staple it all down. No putting any nails on any side of the turf. Secure, strong, and you can’t see any nail head marks. 👌🏽
I also form putting green with bender board but...i wrap the green over the bender board 2inches then staple to the side of bender board. Then base material for fringe goes up against that and kinda sandwich it in. Then when i lay fringe i tuck edges, 1/4" or so, with carpet tucker and mini sledgehammer.. its just how i do it.
I was surprised by the staples. I had a friend that had a sizeable putting green in his backyard and I don't remember there being any staples holding it down.
Great video. Not in your area but curious to know if this concrete mix can be bought at a Home Depot or Lowe's? Or, would your recommend buying elsewhere from these two selections?
did the sec guy level out the hill again? I found the idea with the hill on the green amazing.. but then the sec comes and levels it out... or am i wrong? xD
I followed everything you did but unfortunately I saw this video after completion, I used 30 grit sand underneath the putting surface and it is too soft when you walk on it even after tamping and rolling. Im guessing 20 grit sand on top of the hard layer would get rid of that then rake 30 grit sand into the top putting surface not below?
I’m installing 500sq ft of artificial grass rn, I’m one inch below grade of the surrounding concrete. I think it’s subjective. But will it look better if I raised the grade of the base a little higher.
Could you plant real low growing clover and rye or something around the putting green? Would that degrade the underlay too fast at the edges? Or if there’s a finest possible line of edging between the turf and the grow area, would that work!
Best how to putting green installation video ever!
Edgar puts in work bro! That’s work ethic is only developed from time and experience. Good job integrating him on to your team.
TY
Man Sr. Odell and Jrn. Odells and workers go to town. Keep making these videos. Hard work and smarts bring the bread.
Appreciate it 👍👍
Real Craftsmanship!!! I enjoyed and learned; Thank You Both...
TY
Damn that looks pro AF. Nice job.
I need Edger to come to Phoenix to install some turf for me! That looks very good! That is someone who knows what he's doing and damn good at it!.
one of the best!
@@OdellCompleteConcrete where do you buy the metal edging for around the outside?

Hard work does pay off 💯
Love the amount of staples used on each seam... quality work!!

That looks really good. Time consuming but we'll worth the time

take a shot every time Odell says "putting green" lol
Sounds like a good game 👍
why you being a hater this dude is using his time to bring us free information
nice job. What grain direction did you lay the fringe relative to the putting green? All one direction? Or is it better to have the fringe direction facing the putting green all the way around?
Same way all the way around
Awesome Job.
hey stopping in to say my level came and i thought i was getting a 24" but its a 48"!! thx again love ur vids
Nice! bigger than ours!
@@OdellCompleteConcrete and came just in time used it to set a rotten fence post
I thought it was a 24" too. Milwaukee upgraded everyone. Nice
beautiful work!!!!
TY
Looks great
Looks great!
Tim, looks like you ate your Wheaties and vitamins. Great video and good job. Mike in FV.
Good hearing from you again! and TY
Great work. How much does a green this size cost material plus labor?
15000
what is the name of the tool to make the holes? Where do they sell it?
Beautiful!
How did you hide the staples on the edge of putting green - seems like the staples stick out on the edge? Was that an 11 gauge staples or thinner?
They go under the blades
Damn that’s a awesome job! 😀
Yeah fun one
gonna DIY this thanks to you!
Beautiful work.
AWESOME JOB!
Materials list? nails and staples? cup hole cutter? so no nails in the putting surface, just stretch and staple at the ends?
I am going to try one at my house then install some at my customers here in Pittsburgh PA
Good idea
GL
Take a shot every time he says putting green. 😄
79stanger I did and I swear to drunk I’m not god
12'35 😀😁😂 this guy hands are real freaking hammers !!!
OSS
Great work!!
Finally got it put together 👍
Spraypaint the staples and nail heads green first with a good quality spraypaint for metal. Just a thought.
It looks great!!!! What happened to the mound?
I think they mentioned it was a slight mound
What is another name for that base you use I can’t find the 1/8 concrete mix here in Florida
Decomposed granite
can i do this design with 12x 6 turf?
U guys did a great job did you guys used any concrete for cups
TY
Yes
Good tips bro
YW
So gorgeous. I’m about to do one of my own at my house and I can tell you right now, it’s not going to look like this. Lol. I will do everything in my power to make it look as decent as possible but it def won’t be this clean.
Go for it!
Hey I know this video was a little while ago but do you know the size or sqft of this putting green?
Can you tell me what type /brand of turf you used? Id like to try a putting green for my sons on our property. I have a lot of construction experience, just not sure what is the best turf to buy. THX
Tiger turf
@@OdellCompleteConcrete thanks
How about water drainage? Does it absorb or run off?
Do you pull the staples out of the putting green once you get the fringe part stapled in?
Yes
Whats the cup digging tool, can you rent this tool?
Yes
Jack hammer
Hey there. Love all of your videos - very helpful and informative. Is there another name for 1/8 recycled concrete base or something similar?
Decomposed granite works
where did you get that hole digger?
Looks good, drinking game every time you say “guys”
I tried that and went through a 5th solo
what forms do you use for the border while setting up the base?
Bender boards
@@OdellCompleteConcrete the sand you put on top the base for extra smoothness, what kind of sand is that, do you have a size, brand or style?
Do you leave the first staples you put in the putting green to hold the turf for seaming?
Yes
What kind of rock and sand do I need to get?
What kind of concrete did you use the exact name and what kind of sand was it as well?
Robertson
What is the tool called that was used to make the holes
Hole punch

Can u use concrete instead of cushed stone?
Sure, but drainage may be and issue
@@OdellCompleteConcrete so if I have an area that is concrete, add crushed stone on top?
What type of green and fringe did you buy for this project?
Tiger turf
Great video. Not in your area but curious to know if this concrete mix can be bought at a Home Depot or Lowe's? Or, would your recommend buying elsewhere from these two selections?
Both suppliers should have something comparable
where can I get same putting green turf and do you think I can buy 12 ft by 26ft ?
Nice
Why do you actually need to put the fine sand on top of the putting green at the end? What does it serve?
Keeps the blades up
Hey there, do the putting green holes fill with water or do they self drain ?
Self drain
did the sec guy level out the hill again? I found the idea with the hill on the green amazing.. but then the sec comes and levels it out... or am i wrong? xD
Not sure
Beautiful
That's what she said
I followed everything you did but unfortunately I saw this video after completion, I used 30 grit sand underneath the putting surface and it is too soft when you walk on it even after tamping and rolling.

Hey from NJ , What is the grade or name of the putting green and fringe?
OSS
What was total cost of installing putting green?
I'm breaking down the prices in part 4 or 5
Nice fellas
TY
What size was that putting green?
I’m installing 500sq ft of artificial grass rn, I’m one inch below grade of the surrounding concrete. I think it’s subjective. But will it look better if I raised the grade of the base a little higher.
Yes I concur
Could you plant real low growing clover and rye or something around the putting green? Would that degrade the underlay too fast at the edges? Or if there’s a finest possible line of edging between the turf and the grow area, would that work!
Thats awesome

I have a question bro? how much do you charge for a 25x15 golf
4000
What is that curved edge product called? Want to find some in Orlando.
home Depot
Can you put a link to what type of turf it is? Thanks!
Tiger turf
Good video how much a job like this costs?
