Step 2:  Clear the Area for the Sub-Base

You can cut the grass inside the outlined shape (if applicable) with a lawn mower on the lowest setting and then remove the sod. Removal of the sod provides for the most solid sub-base. Remember your putting green must be high enough to allow for water run-off.

Completely spray the area with vegetation killer. Finish preparing the area by laying out the weed barrier and securing it to the area where your putting green will be installed. The weed barrier will prevent grass from growing through your sub-base and through your putting green.
