More than just a place to putt, a personal green becomes a stunning landscape feature and a hub for family fun, and our mission is to ensure it's built perfectly for you.
Transform Your Yard and Your Game
For the serious golf lover, a professional-grade artificial turf putting green is the ultimate backyard upgrade. It gives you a dedicated space to hone your short game, entertain friends, and even get the whole family into a new hobby. Think about it: ten minutes of practice before heading to the office or a few relaxing rounds as the sun goes down, all just steps from your door.
This is far more than a simple patch of fake grass. It's a permanent improvement to your home and your lifestyle. A well-installed green by a team you trust blends high-performance playability with beautiful aesthetics, creating a genuine centerpiece for your entire outdoor space.
More Than Just a Game
While the impact on your golf skills is obvious, a personal putting green brings so much more to the table. It’s a unique and engaging backdrop for any get-together, from a casual weekend cookout to a friendly family tournament. And unlike a natural grass green that demands constant, finicky maintenance, an artificial surface installed by our experts is always ready to go.
That "always ready" part is huge. No more waiting for the lawn to dry after a downpour, no more dealing with ugly brown spots, and definitely no off-season. You get a reliable and gorgeous focal point for your yard 365 days a year, which boosts your curb appeal and can even increase your property value. The perks really do go far beyond a lower handicap.
- Year-Round Playability: Rain or shine, summer or winter, you'll always have a perfect surface ready for play.
- Family Entertainment: It’s a fantastic way to create a fun, active space that everyone from kids to grandparents can enjoy together.
- Enhanced Home Value: A professionally designed putting green is a premium amenity that makes your home unforgettable.

Why Artificial Turf Is the Smart Choice
When you're deciding between a natural grass green and a modern artificial one, it’s a bit like choosing between a high-maintenance classic car and a high-performance modern sports car. Sure, the classic has its charm, but it demands constant tinkering. The modern machine? It's engineered for pure, reliable enjoyment.
A real grass putting green is a relentless commitment. It needs precise mowing, complex watering schedules, and a cocktail of chemical treatments just to survive, let alone play well. We believe your time is better spent perfecting your short game, not battling fungus or pulling weeds. That’s why we stand behind the freedom you get with professional-grade artificial turf and putting greens. The benefits are about so much more than just being "low-maintenance."
Unlock Year-Round Performance and Peace of Mind
Think about it: a perfect playing surface, ready for you any day of the year. Modern artificial turf delivers a level of consistency that Mother Nature just can't match. The ball rolls true every time, the speed is predictable, and the surface is playable just moments after a downpour.
This incredible reliability completely changes how you use your backyard. Spontaneous practice sessions? Go for it. A quick putting competition with the family? Absolutely. Entertaining friends on a whim? Always an option, no matter the season or the weather. You’re not just getting a putting green; you're getting a permanent, hassle-free upgrade to your lifestyle.
Let's look at the key advantages of making the switch:
- Drastic Water Savings: Say goodbye to constant watering. This is a huge win for the environment and an even bigger win for your monthly utility bills.
- A Chemical-Free Yard: Keep your kids and pets safe by getting rid of the need for pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers.
- Flawless Good Looks: Your green will be vibrant and perfectly manicured 365 days a year—without you lifting a finger. You can dive deeper into the general perks in our guide on why artificial turf is a great choice for your home.
A Smarter Investment From Day One
There's a reason homeowners and businesses are shifting to synthetic surfaces. The global artificial turf market, valued at around USD 3.75 billion in 2024, is booming. This growth is driven by people looking for sustainable, low-upkeep solutions, especially in areas where water conservation is a major concern. It shows that artificial turf isn't just a convenience anymore—it's an intelligent, long-term investment in your property.
When you work with a trusted installer, the long-term value of artificial turf becomes crystal clear.
Natural Grass vs Artificial Turf Putting Greens
| Feature | Natural Grass | Artificial Turf |
|---|---|---|
| Maintenance | Daily/weekly mowing, watering, fertilizing, pest control | Occasional rinsing, brushing, and debris removal |
| Water Usage | Extremely high; requires constant irrigation | Minimal; only for occasional cleaning |
| Playability | Weather-dependent; unusable after rain, dormant in winter | Year-round, all-weather performance; excellent drainage |
| Consistency | Inconsistent ball roll due to growth and weather | Perfectly true and predictable ball roll every time |
| Upfront Cost | Lower initial cost for seeds/sod | Higher initial investment |
| Long-Term Cost | High ongoing costs (water, chemicals, equipment) | Very low; pays for itself over time in savings |
| Durability | Prone to disease, pests, and wear and tear | Extremely durable; lasts 15+ years with minimal wear |
Ultimately, the table shows you're trading a lower upfront cost for a lifetime of expenses and chores with natural grass. An artificial green, on the other hand, is a one-time investment for decades of enjoyment.
By choosing artificial turf, you are investing in performance, beauty, and peace of mind. You’re choosing a superior, long-term solution that returns your time and energy, allowing you to focus on what truly matters—enjoying your home and your game.
Our installation process is designed from the ground up to deliver on this promise. This chart shows you exactly where our effort goes to ensure a flawless and durable foundation for your green.
As you can see, a full 70% of our work is dedicated to the excavation and base preparation. This is the critical foundation that guarantees your green will last and play perfectly for years to come. Our intense focus on what’s underneath the surface is what separates our professional installation from the rest, ensuring your investment stands the test of time.
Designing Your Custom Golf Experience
A world-class putting green is so much more than a patch of turf; it’s a stunning, fully integrated feature of your landscape. It should look like it was always meant to be there, flowing seamlessly with your home's architecture and the rest of your yard. This is where our collaborative design process makes all the difference, turning a simple idea into a masterpiece.
We’ve found the best results always come from a partnership. You bring the vision for your backyard, and we bring the expertise to make it a reality. Together, we'll walk you through the key decisions that elevate a standard green into a personalized golf oasis that’s as beautiful as it is functional.
Our process starts not with a shovel, but with a conversation. We listen carefully to understand how you see yourself using the space. Is this a serious training ground to shave strokes off your handicap? Or is it a fun, social hub for family and friends? Your goals shape every decision that follows.
Finding the Perfect Location
The first step on this design journey is picking the ideal spot. This one decision impacts everything from playability to the overall aesthetic of your property. We don’t just look for an open patch of grass; we analyze your entire landscape to find the perfect home for your new green.
Our experts carefully consider factors like sun exposure, natural drainage patterns, and even the view from your kitchen window. For example, placing a green in a low-lying area that collects water is a recipe for headaches down the road, so we identify locations with the best natural slope. The goal is to build a green that not only plays perfectly but also enhances your property’s best features.
Shaping Your Vision
With the location set, we move on to the most creative part of the process: defining the size and shape. There are no cookie-cutter solutions here. We design a green that fits the unique contours and scale of your yard, making sure it complements your space rather than overwhelming it.
Whether you envision a classic kidney shape, a more modern geometric design, or a free-flowing form that mimics a natural landscape, we can bring it to life. This is also where we start blending your artificial turf and putting greens with other backyard features.
- Patio Integration: Imagine your green flowing directly from the patio, creating a cohesive and expansive outdoor living area perfect for entertaining.
- Landscape Blending: We can border the green with garden beds, rock features, or native plants to soften the edges and tie it into the surrounding environment.
- Walkways and Access: We'll make sure there are natural, attractive pathways leading to and from the green, making it an inviting destination.
Your putting green shouldn't feel like an afterthought. It should feel like the centerpiece of a thoughtful, unified landscape. Our hands-on approach guarantees the final result is a perfect reflection of your style and a true extension of your home.
Adding Championship-Level Features
Now for the fun part. This is where we add the details that make your green truly special and challenging to play. We can replicate features from your favorite championship courses, turning your backyard into a genuine practice facility. Our skilled team can build in contours—from the subtle to the dramatic—that will keep you challenged for years.
We can add gentle undulations to create subtle breaks that test your green-reading skills. For an even bigger test, we can build in distinct tiers and berms that demand precision on your chips and putts. These are the custom features that transform a flat surface into an engaging and dynamic playing experience.
Ultimately, every single element is chosen with your goals in mind. By blending our deep expertise in landscape architecture with your personal vision, we create more than just artificial turf and putting greens—we build a personalized backyard retreat. The next step is a simple conversation. Call us today to schedule your complimentary design consultation and let’s start designing the custom golf experience you’ve always wanted.
How We Build a Tour-Quality Putting Green
A world-class putting green isn't just dropped into place; it's meticulously built from the ground up. The real magic happens long before the first roll of turf is even considered. It's all about our team's expert craftsmanship, careful planning, and an obsession with quality. We want you to see exactly how we bring a professional-grade green to life, so you can feel completely confident in our process and your decision.
Understanding what goes into a proper installation makes it clear why choosing an experienced, professional team is absolutely essential. It’s the difference between a patch of green carpet and a high-performance playing surface that looks and feels like it belongs at Augusta. Our method is a proven system, perfected over years to ensure decades of tour-quality playability.
The Foundation: It All Starts With a Weather-Proof Base
The most critical part of any putting green is the one you’ll never see. We dedicate the majority of our time and energy to building an bulletproof, all-weather base. This hidden structure is our secret to preventing the dips, puddles, and inconsistent ball roll that plague lesser installations.
We start by excavating the entire area, removing all existing soil and grass to a precise depth. From there, we build up a multi-layered base using different types of aggregate, compacting each layer with heavy-duty equipment to lock it in place.
This foundation is carefully graded by our experts to create perfect drainage, so water sheds away from the surface. Your green will be ready for play shortly after a heavy rain, not a swampy mess. It’s not the glamorous part of the job, but our commitment to this step guarantees your green won't shift, sink, or settle over time.
The Science of a Perfect Surface
With the foundation locked in, we can finally focus on the playing surface itself. Choosing the right turf is everything. We only use turf specifically engineered for putting greens, which means we're experts in the technical specs.
Here’s what our team analyzes for every project:
- Pile Height: This is how long the blades of grass are. For a putting green, you need a short, dense pile. This is what gives you that smooth, fast surface and lets the ball roll true without any annoying bouncing or skipping.
- Face Weight: Think of this as the turf’s density. It measures the weight of the fibers per square yard, and a higher number means a more durable, lush-feeling green that can handle years of foot traffic.
- Backing: The backing is the turf’s skeleton. We insist on products with a multi-layered, dimensionally stable backing that won't stretch or shrink with temperature changes, keeping your surface perfectly flat for years.
These details are precisely what separate a premium putting green from your average backyard turf. Our expertise ensures you get the right product for a superior experience. You can dive deeper into the different types of artificial turf and putting greens and their unique uses in our comprehensive guide.
A tour-quality putting green isn't just installed; it's engineered. From the compacted aggregate base to the precise weight of the infill, every single layer is designed by our team to work in harmony to deliver a perfect putt, every time.
The Final Touch: Infill and Rolling
Once the turf is laid, seamed, and secured, we move to the final, most transformative step: adding the infill. This isn't just regular sand. We use a specialized, rounded silica sand that we brush deep down between the turf fibers.
The infill does three critical jobs: it adds weight to hold the turf down, it helps the grass blades stand up straight, and—most importantly—it controls the speed of your green. We apply it in precise, even layers using professional power brooms to work it all the way into the base of the turf.
After the infill is perfectly distributed, we use a heavy roller to smooth the entire green. This guarantees a true and consistent ball roll from any spot on the surface. It’s this final, meticulous process that lets us dial in the green’s speed to your exact preference, which we can measure on a stimpmeter, just like the pros. By being transparent about our commitment to every detail, we hope you see why a professional installation is the only way to protect your investment and guarantee years of enjoyment.
Understanding What Your Investment Truly Gets You
When you're considering a significant home upgrade like a backyard putting green, the first question is often about cost. That's completely understandable. We believe in being transparent about this, but also in helping you see the bigger picture. This isn't just a number on an invoice; it's about the long-term value you're adding to your home and your life.
Of course, the final price tag depends on a few things. The size of the green is the biggest factor. But the design details, like adding challenging slopes or multiple tiers, and the specific turf you choose also play a part. Our job is to work with you to find that sweet spot where your vision and your budget align perfectly. We promise a no-pressure consultation to explore all your options.
More Than Just a Price Tag
While the upfront cost is what you see first, the real value reveals itself over time. Let's talk about the tangible returns. For starters, you can say goodbye to the constant costs of keeping a perfect natural lawn—the watering, the fertilizers, the landscaping crews. Those savings really start to stack up, making this a much smarter financial move than most people realize.
Then there's the property value. A professionally installed putting green isn't just a patch of fake grass; it's a premium feature. It makes your home stand out in a competitive market, offering a unique lifestyle perk that potential buyers absolutely love.
The Returns You Can't Put a Price On
Honestly, some of the best benefits have nothing to do with money. We're talking about those priceless moments you'll have with family and friends. Teaching your kids how to hold a putter. A friendly putting competition during a weekend cookout. Or just the simple joy of stepping outside to clear your head after a long day.
We don't just sell artificial turf and putting greens. We deliver a lifestyle upgrade. It’s an investment in your home, your happiness, and your time, and we're here to ensure it's done right.
You don't have to take our word for it—the market speaks for itself. The global putting green market was valued at around USD 1.2 billion in 2024 and is on track to more than double by 2033. It’s no surprise that artificial turf is leading the charge because of its low maintenance and all-weather playability. If you're curious, you can read the full research on putting green market growth and see just how popular this trend has become.
To help you get a really clear picture, we've put together a detailed guide breaking down all the factors that go into the final number. Dive into our guide on putting green installation costs.

Your Questions Answered by Our Experts
Making a big decision for your home always comes with questions, and that’s a good thing. We believe in complete transparency, so you feel confident and fully informed before we even think about breaking ground. Here are the honest, straightforward answers to the questions we hear most often about artificial turf and putting greens.
How Long Will My Artificial Turf Putting Green Last?
This is always one of the first things people ask, and for good reason—you want to know your investment will hold up. When we do an installation, we only use top-tier, UV-stabilized materials and a robust, professionally prepared base. Because of that, you can realistically expect your putting green to last 15 to 20 years, sometimes even longer. It’s built for the long haul, and we stand behind that quality.
Does the Ball Roll True on an Artificial Green?
It absolutely does. A true, consistent ball roll is the whole point of a putting green, and we take it seriously. The magic lies in using a specific type of rounded sand infill, which our team meticulously works into the turf with professional power brooms and rollers.
We can actually customize the speed of your green to your exact preference. Using a stimpmeter—the same tool used on the pro tour—we can dial in the surface to be anything from slow and casual to lightning-fast for the serious golfer.
Is It Safe for Kids and Pets?
Completely. All of the turf products we install are non-toxic and lead-free, so they’re perfectly safe for every member of your family, whether they have two legs or four. Plus, our greens are designed for excellent drainage, which means no muddy paws or soggy shoes after a rain shower. It keeps everyone cleaner and safer when they’re out playing.
What Kind of Maintenance Is Actually Required?
When we say low-maintenance, we really mean it. The upkeep is a world away from the constant work a natural grass green demands.
- Debris Removal: A quick pass with a leaf blower is usually all it takes to clear off leaves or twigs.
- Fiber Brushing: Every so often, you’ll want to brush the fibers with a stiff broom (just make sure it doesn't have metal bristles) to keep them standing tall.
And that’s about it. You get to spend your weekends perfecting your putt, not pulling weeds. Answering your questions is the first step, and we want you to have all the information you need to feel great about your decision. When you're ready to talk specifics, our team is here to help.
