Backyard putting green

TYork · Jul 27, 2011

Im considering a putting green for the back yard and I have some questions:

-Did you install yourself or have a professional install?
-Do you have natural grass or astro-turf?
-Any pitfalls or issues I should look out for?
-How much did it cost and how much does it cost to maintain?
-Do you mind posting some pics?

Thanks

I think there may be a thread here from long ago if you search? If not, check out the Lowes website DIY projects. It was something I considered, but I'm too lazy.

Here is a link to one that I built. It was fun and still looks great.

Way to much work for myself.I chose to have it professionally installed.

Your thread is the one I'm thinking of. You have a pretty large green in your backyard, correct?
