In our opinion putting greens should only be fitted on a concrete base. Trying to lay putting grass on a stone, sand or dust base is like making your bed with a bag of smarties under the duvet. Rain will wash your foundation material away and leave the area uneven. Water then wants to lie in the indentations and causes moss to grow. If putting cups are not securely fixed in the ground (concreted in place) they too collapse and move meaning the put will never run properly and around the hole will be uneven.

A lot of the cost in a project like this is in the preparation and will need digger work to remove soil before concrete is paid. Best you allow £3000- £8000 for a local contractor to do that groundwork before we arrive (we would obviously liaise with the contractor and make sure its prepared properly and smooth. A small slope on the green is all that’s needed to allow water to drain off the green. Done properly, this green will look as good as new in many year's time ​

​To make the green more realistic and natural, some people like to put the rougher grass around the fringe. That can be discussed during the consultation. We normally add kiln dried sand to the grass after install. This adds weight and keeps the grass tight to the concrete. It also makes the grass run even faster!​
