Q: Should the edges of my new grass turn brown?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s common for the edges of new sod to turn brown, especially if they run up against heat-absorbing surfaces like driveways, rocks, or pavers. You can fix this problem with more concentrated watering at the edges of the lawn as it takes root. However, continuing brown problems or brown areas on the inside of the lawn are signs of a problem. The lawn could need more water, or the young grass could be under attack from fungi or other diseases.</p></div>

Q: How is synthetic grass installed for putting greens or play areas?

• <div><p>Installers prepare the surface, lay a sub-base for drainage, position the grass carpet, attach seams, and add infill for realism and turf stability.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to install a putting green?

• <div><p>Most professionals can install some putting greens in between one day and one week, but it depends on the size of the project and the complexity of the design. A small, simple putting green can take only a day to install, while a 2,000-foot-green with hills, slopes, and other challenging site features can take over a week. A DIY installation on flat, level ground will take a few days. </p></div>

Q: Is a home putting green worth it?

• <div><p>In the right market, a putting green in the backyard can add value to your property. You can reap an estimated 40 percent return on the investment. Other than that, the value of a place to practice and play at home depends solely on your love of the game and desire to improve. </p></div>
