What people are solving for

A green that putts true, rather than short turf stapled to flat ground. The break has to be shaped into the base, because it cannot be added afterwards.

How it goes in

The contour is planned and walked before anything is compacted, then the base is excavated and shaped to that contour rather than to level. Putting surface is seamed and secured, regulation cups and sleeves are set, a longer fringe collar goes in for chipping and contrast, and silica infill is levelled to tune the roll.

Size
550 sq ft
Turf
Short-pile putting surface with a longer fringe collar in a contrasting pile.
Base
Excavated and shaped to the planned contour rather than to level, then compacted in lifts. Crushed and refined granite base, screened so there is no oversized rock in it.
Hardscape
Fringe collar and any adjoining terrace or chipping pad.
Drainage
The crushed and refined granite base stays porous rather than sealing up the way fines-heavy road base does, so water keeps moving down through it instead of pooling.

$13,000 – $20,000
