Step By Step Guide

  • Filling
  • Irrigation
  • Planting
  • Maintaining

5
Site Selection Preparation
  • Find a sunny location free of large trees.
  • The land should lay so that removing water from
    the drain area will be no problem.
  • Three applications of Round-Up herbicide, three
    weeks apart, will be necessary to remove
    perennial weeds.

6
TOTAL AREA OF THE GREEN
  • We believe that 2000 square feet is an ideal
    green size for the school. It is affordable and
    large enough to maneuver equipment well.

7
BENEFITS OF THE 2000 SQUARE FOOT GREEN
  • All recommendations are in the per 1000 square
    feet format, so calculations are easy.
  • The cost of chemicals and fertilizers are high,
    so the small green will minimize costs.

8
EXCAVATING THE GREEN SITE
  • The first step is to remove 18 inches of soil
    from the green area.

9
A front end loader was used to begin removing the
soil

12
A box-blade is handy for piling up soil to be
removed by the loader
13
Tractors are handy, but handwork is also needed.
14
Installing Drain Lines
  • The green must be an even 18 inches deep in all
    locations. (Less than this will not be enough,
    but more requires extra rock, which is costly).
  • Drain lines must be 8 inches deep.
  • Drains should be 8 feet apart, feeding one main
    drain line down the center.
  • There must be enough slope to remove water.

15
Renting a small backhoe makes the job easier,
especially in clay.
16
Branch lines run parallel and empty into the main
line.

The next step is to fill drain lines with 4
inches of gravel.
19
Our green took a total of 3 tantum loads of this
gravel
20
The next step is to lay the 4 inch drain pipe,
hole side down.
