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!
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
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
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.
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. 😎😄
Hey J L, I am about to seam together my fringe and green - and planned to use the landscape staples, 6", to overlap the fringe and green. But you recommend 3" nails...where would those go, only on the fringe seam, with the fringe tucked under the green? Is the green secured down with anything then, or does the infill simply hold it in place?
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.
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
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!
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?
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.
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?
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

TY
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?
Man Sr. Odell and Jrn. Odells and workers go to town. Keep making these videos. Hard work and smarts bring the bread.
Appreciate it 👍👍

Damn that’s a good job👍👍👍
TY
Nice
Beautiful work.
Great work!!
Finally got it put together 👍
Good tips bro
YW
Great work. How much does a green this size cost material plus labor?
15000
Nice fellas
TY
Damn that’s a awesome job! 😀
Yeah fun one
That’s pretty cool you don’t see that in Wyoming very often
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
Beautiful
That's what she said
AWESOME JOB!

Good idea
GL
It looks great!!!! What happened to the mound?
I think they mentioned it was a slight mound
can i do this design with 12x 6 turf?
Hey I know this video was a little while ago but do you know the size or sqft of this putting green?
How about water drainage? Does it absorb or run off?
I LIKED 👍🏾
where did you get that hole digger?
U guys did a great job did you guys used any concrete for cups
TY
Yes
where can I get same putting green turf and do you think I can buy 12 ft by 26ft ?
Thats awesome
TY
Thanks a lot.
Yw
What kind of rock and sand do I need to get?
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
What was total cost of installing putting green?
I'm breaking down the prices in part 4 or 5
Do you pull the staples out of the putting green once you get the fringe part stapled in?
Yes
Buen Trabajo 🙂🖒
Do you leave the first staples you put in the putting green to hold the turf for seaming?
Yes
What is another name for that base you use I can’t find the 1/8 concrete mix here in Florida
Decomposed granite
Great job. Where is the Part 1 video?
In there somewhere
What size was that putting green?
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!
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
What type of green and fringe did you buy for this project?
Tiger turf
Thanks to Edgar, the odel boys now know how to install like a professional.
The odel sons should have a nickname.
How about the "Odel Boys"
What kind of concrete did you use the exact name and what kind of sand was it as well?
Robertson
Hey there, do the putting green holes fill with water or do they self drain ?
Self drain
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
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
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?
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?
Whats the cup digging tool, can you rent this tool?
Yes
Jack hammer
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
Good video how much a job like this costs?
7500
edgar is a winner
For sure
What is the tool called that was used to make the holes
Hole punch
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
what size edge board do you use?
1/2 × 4
Can you put a link to what type of turf it is? Thanks!
Tiger turf
Hey from NJ , What is the grade or name of the putting green and fringe?
