Putting in a Backyard Putting Green

  1. Pick out the area of your yard where you want your green. Choose an open area, keeping in mind the amount of sun and shade — a sunny spot works best.
  2. Dig out your green, usually about 6–8″ deep, plus additional width for fringe and rough.
  3. Cover the area with landscape fabric to prevent future weeds from popping up.
  4. Fill with road gravel as a base for water drainage, top with fine gravel, and level the surface as you go.
  5. Using a post hole digger, make holes and place the cups.
  6. Carefully place the bermuda turf and secure the edges and seams with staples, then edge carefully.
  7. Add fringe or rough with centipede turf for short game practice and to blend with the rest of the yard.
  8. Cut out the cup holes from the turf. Water and enjoy!
