Should I do a concrete or aggregate base?

Nationally about 15% of the installations we do in the US are on concrete. Concrete, will give you a very hard under base and will not give you a natural roll and bounce. Concrete limits you on the slopes and undulations you can put into your green.

Aggregate bases are used in 85% of our installations and is the base of choice for serious golfers. Your golf ball will react normally and practice on this type of realistic base will truly sharpen your short game. With an aggregate base you will be able to contour the green, adding slopes and undulation to create a facility that provides all the challenges you might need.
