Step 11:  Landscaping the Turf

Several forms of landscaping materials are available for your new putting green.  You can choose from:

1. Sod
2. Our fringe turf materials
3. Landscape stones or brick
4. Mulch material
5. Railroad ties or similar wood border

1. The easiest method of landscaping around your new synthetic putting greens would be to sod up to the turf and let the sod overlay the turf 1 - 2 inches.
2. If you choose our fringe material, you can seam it to the perimeter of the turf.  You can overlay your turf onto the fringe and cut through the turf and fringe material along the edge of your turf.  You must pre-plan additional sub-base to add fringe material.
3. Small landscape stones are very common.  Remember to insert weed barrier under the stones. You can also use bricks or large stones to landscape your putting green.  You can leave them loose or seal them together.  You should plan for the brick or stone when designing your sub-base.
4. We don't recommend mulch material because it is to messy for your backyard putting greens.
5. We also do not recommend railroad ties or wood borders.
