| First thing Friday morning I went to Home Depot and rented a 20inch plate compactor. I compacted the topsoil 3 times. This was very tough the first 2 times until compaction tamped the ground down more tightly. |
 |
| At 10 am I had 4.5 cubit yards of road base II and 2.5 yards of arena sand delivered from Valley Rock of Loomis. |
 |
| I started loading up wheelbarrows of the roadbase and the delivering it to the back yard. Around noon my turf and fescue was delivered. Each roll weighed about 230 lbs. |
 |
| Once I felt that I had 2 inches of material I spread it out with a landscaping rake, then I wet it down and ran the compactor over the surface. Each time I compacted I did it twice, watering along the way. |
 |
| After the compaction was complete and the elevation was like I wanted it the 6 inch aluminum cups were placed. I used post hole diggers and went down about 8 inches then used gravel to get the cups to where they were 1/4 inch above the ground and level. Then I added post hole cement and wet it down. |
 |
| After compaction we drew a painted line of how we wanted the shape of the putting surface to be. |
