Every great putting green starts with a thoughtful plan. We begin with a free on-site survey to assess your space, take precise measurements, and understand your goals — whether you're after a challenging backyard layout or something purely for fun. Our team helps you visualize the best shapes and flow for your space, offering expert recommendations based on sun exposure, drainage, and usage. No pressure, no guesswork — just a clear path to the perfect green.
We begin by carefully removing all existing grass, plants, and debris to create a clean, workable area. If your property has an old sprinkler system, we cap it off to prevent leaks and ensure no water is wasted. Once cleared, we compact the ground using commercial-grade equipment, creating a stable and even base that ensures your putting green stays flawless over time. This foundation is critical to long-term performance — and it’s one of the many details we never overlook.
We install a stable foundation using crushed recycled road base — an eco-friendly, durable material that provides excellent drainage and long-term support. After spreading and leveling, we compact the base with heavy-duty equipment to ensure it's rock-solid and smooth. In areas without pets, we finish with a fine layer of decomposed granite (DG) for a tighter surface that enhances ball roll. While DG is excellent for shaping and smoothing, we avoid it in pet zones since it may absorb odors over time. Every step is customized for your space, use case, and performance needs.
Each putting cup is carefully installed after compacting the base and before laying the weed barrier, ensuring perfect alignment and long-term durability. We set the holes into the compacted Class II road base and surround them with concrete for a solid, unshifting foundation. This prevents movement over time and gives your green a true, professional-grade finish. Choose between aluminum or heavy-duty plastic cups, depending on your preferences and budget—both are designed to withstand daily play and outdoor conditions.
To ensure a clean, low-maintenance putting green, we install a high-quality weed barrier over the compacted base. This layer helps prevent weeds from pushing through while still allowing water to drain freely. Not all weed fabrics are created equal — we carefully select between woven and non-woven geotextiles based on the site’s needs. Heavier-grade fabrics (typically 4 oz to 6 oz) offer better resistance and durability, especially in high-traffic or root-prone areas. We avoid using solid plastic sheeting or vapor barriers, as they can trap moisture, hinder drainage, and lead to unwanted odor or bacteria buildup over time. The right barrier ensures long-term performance without compromising the health of your base or turf.
Once the base has been compacted and the weed barrier secured, it’s time to bring your putting green to life. The chosen green surface is carefully unrolled and shaped to match the exact design of your layout. Using sharp, professional-grade tools, we cut the putting green turf to size and secure it into place with finishing nails along the perimeter and internal anchor points. These nails keep the surface tight and flat, ensuring consistent ball roll.Turf rolls typically come in 12’, 13’, or 15’ widths. If your design exceeds this, creating an invisible seam between rolls is crucial. Our team uses advanced techniques and adhesives to ensure the joining point remains imperceptible to the eye—and the golf ball.We offer premium materials like: Polypropylene (PP): Ideal for fast ball roll and short game practice, it’s the most popular choice for residential greens. Nylon: Extremely durable with a textured finish that mimics bent grass, suitable for commercial or high-traffic areas. Hybrid blends: For those who want the best of both performance and longevity.This stage is all about precision. A poorly aligned or poorly seamed green can affect aesthetics and playability. That's why experienced installers are key for getting the performance and realism your putting green deserves.
Your fringe is more than just a border — it's the finishing touch that defines the look and playability of your putting green. Whether you prefer a natural aesthetic or a high-contrast design, selecting the right fringe turf is essential. We guide you through options based on blade length, color, and how well it complements your putting surface.During installation, attention to detail matters. The fringe must be laid with all fibers aligned in the same direction for a seamless, professional finish. Some contractors try to cut corners by seaming together small leftover pieces — a practice that often results in visible inconsistencies. We never do that.We secure your fringe using 5" non-galvanized nails to ensure long-lasting stability and proper grip to the base, while allowing natural expansion. Our commitment to quality means your fringe won’t just look good — it’ll last.
Infill plays a critical role in both the appearance and longevity of your putting green. Once the turf is installed, we apply a carefully selected layer of infill material and brush it in using a power broom for even distribution. But it’s not just about aesthetics — infill is essential because it: Adds weight to keep the turf securely in place Helps cool the surface by reducing heat retention. Protects the backing from premature wear and UV damage. Supports the pile so the blades stay upright and natural-lookingFor the putting green surface, we use fine green-colored infill that blends visually and maintains a smooth roll. Around the fringe or perimeter areas, we offer pet- and kid-safe options that provide added benefits like anti-microbial protection, odor control, and mold resistance. This step ensures your green not only looks great — it plays like the real thing and lasts for years to come.
The result is a beautiful, professionally installed putting green that looks and plays like the real thing—minus the upkeep. Every seam is invisible, every cup is flush, and every contour is carefully shaped for optimal performance. The fringe blends seamlessly into the green, creating a natural, manicured look. Whether you're practicing your short game or just enjoying the view, your new putting green adds beauty, value, and year-round functionality to your space. Built to last, engineered to perform, and installed with care—this is craftsmanship you’ll notice every time you step onto it.
