Shaping your green
is very easy and simple to do. Your green will be delivered in a
rectangular shape. You may desire to shape the green to give it a natural
look. Refer to your brochure for shapes.
If you are not
adding a fringe turf to your putting green then you will cut the shape of
your putting green using your outside border as your guide. If you desire
a fringe around your putting green then you will need a yard stick to
assist you with your measurements.
On this
installation we used a two foot collar of fringe turf around the putting
green The fringe turf is functional because you can chip off of it. Also,
looks great so it’s aesthetically pleasing
|
Your formula to determine the amount of fringe turf you will need
for a two foot collar of fringe is as follows: |
|
Total length +
width divide by 2.5
For example
on this 24 by 26 putting green the length is 52 feet if you place
the two 12 by 26 rolls end to end.
52 plus the
width of 12 equals 66. 66 divided by 2.5 = 26
You will need a
12 by 26 foot roll of fringe turf to give you a 2 ft collar of
fringe around the putting green |
Using your
yard-stick, measure two feet in from the border. Use a string on your
putting green to mark your shape in 1 foot increments.
Using your utility
knife, cut along the outside perimeter of the string. This technique will
give you the shape you desire. |
