The
next step in building a green is to prepare the area where
the green will be constructed. Clear the area, which is everywhere
inside the second outline, of grass and other ground vegetation
material, to your desired depth for sub-base, as best you
can with a hoe or by mechanical means. If you are in an area
that has a lot of vegetation you may lay down a landscaping
retarder, found at most home improvement centers in a rolled
form. By utilizing the techniques laid out in this booklet
you can avoid any severe settling. Give caution to newly graded
areas that are common in new housing developments. These areas
may have been back-filled and should be given ample time to
naturally settle.
