The following section is included to help you
in your decision to self install or to have a PGD CHICAGO certified installer design/build your putting green.
When considering to self install, we generally
recommend that greens over 500 square feet be excluded from
self-installation. These greens will require multiple seams
and considerable base work. In the event that you should attempt
to self-install over our recommended size limits we have provided
the following list of tools and equipment you will need to
acquire or rent to properly install a PGD CHICAGO
