DIY vs Hiring a Pro for Putting Green Installation
| DIY | Hire a pro |
|---|---|
| Flat-pad kits exist for very small, simple greens | Contour shaping done right the first time avoids costly redo work |
| Shaping realistic breaks and slopes is difficult without grading experience | Cup placement and collar fitting require precision most DIY kits don't account for |
| Uneven contours lead to inconsistent ball roll that's hard to fix after turf is laid | A pro install balances slope with drainage so the green doesn't pool water after storms |
