We have summarized the following information to better assist
you with the decision of installing the green yourself versus hiring a
certified installer.
For greens that exceed 500 square feet in size, we strongly recommend
to hire a certified installer. Putting greens of this size employ a lot
of sub-base preparation and have numerous seams.
However, we felt it is important to provide you a list of recommended
tools and equipment should you attempt to self-install a putting green
in excess of 500 square feet.
