5. Roll up green 6. Weed eat grass inside the outline down to the dirt or root 7. Rake or blow cuttings from outlined area 8. Add 2” gravel base Cut ridges or roots if necessary. Fill any indentations. Add 2" of 3/8" minus gravel screenings, meaning your gravel supplier has passed gravel through a 3/8" screen so only the smallest pieces pass through. This mix has small particles as well as gravel up to 3/8" and every size in between. You'll need about 12 pounds of gravel per square foot.

9. Create a gentle raised crown in the center for drainage Use a leveling rake or 2×4 and rake the area smooth. No indentations should be present. 10. Compact the base with a hand tamper, gas tamper or roller 11. Check the base for levels and smoothness The 3/8” gravel holds contours much better than sand, so contouring is best done within the gravel base. 12. OPTIONAL: Additional paver sand can be added Paver sand adds smoothness or creates gentle contours.

13. Roll out green and check smoothness and contours 14. Dig in cups with hand trowel or 4 ¼” hole cutter 15. Soil too hard to dig cups with a hand trowel? OPTIONAL: If drainage is an issue, dig 2-4 inches deeper than the length of the cup and add gravel. Top of the cup should be 1/8” below surface of the green. If digging is hard due to roots or rocks, mark hole and roll up the green at hole. Then, chop up the area by hole with a pick or round nosed shovel. Compact area flat and dig hole. 16.
