Putting Greens in [PRIMARY CITY]

Custom backyard putting greens with true roll, contoured breaks and a fringe collar. Practice your short game at home on a firm, consistent surface designed to putt like a real green — built to last across [SERVICE AREA].

Synthetic backyard putting green with a flag in the hole and putters

A synthetic putting green brings true, consistent roll to your backyard. The playability comes from the build — a laser-compacted base, tight nylon putting turf, cups and contours shaped to your space, and a fringe collar — so you can practice putting and chipping at home on a surface that reads like a real green.

Overview

Practice Your Short Game at Home

A backyard putting green turns unused lawn into a place to sharpen putting, chipping and lag distance whenever you want. The right build gives a true, repeatable roll rather than the bumpy feel of a DIY mat.

Contours, hole placement and the fringe are all shaped to your yard and how you want to practice. Because it is synthetic, the green stays fast and consistent with no mowing, watering or reseeding.

Our Process

How We Build a Putting Green

Green construction is different from a lawn — here is the sequence.

01

Design & Contours

Plan the shape, hole positions, breaks and fringe around your yard and goals.

02

Base & Grading

Excavate and laser-grade a compacted stone base that holds true contours and drains.

03

Cups & Putting Turf

Set regulation cups, then install and seam tight nylon putting turf over the shaped base.

04

Infill & Roll

Top-dress with silica infill and roll the surface to dial in green speed and true roll.

Getting It Right

Putting-Green-Specific Considerations

The build details that decide how the green actually plays.

Green Speed

Putting turf choice, infill and rolling set the stimp-style speed you want.

Contour Shaping

Breaks and tiers are graded into the base so the roll reads like a real green.

Fringe & Chipping

A longer fringe collar lets you add chipping practice around the green.

Materials

Putting Turf & Base

Putting greens use a specialized short-pile nylon turf, not lawn turf. Its tight, dense surface is what produces a smooth, fast, true roll and takes silica top-dressing well.

Underneath, a finely graded and laser-compacted stone base holds the contours precisely and drains fast so the green plays consistently after rain. The fringe uses a longer pile to frame the green and support chipping.

Questions

Putting Green FAQs

Questions from backyard golfers.

Yes — that is the whole point of the build. A laser-compacted base, tight nylon putting turf and silica top-dressing produce a smooth, repeatable roll, and we can tune green speed during installation.

Contours, tiers and breaks are shaped into the base and are one of the most popular features. We design them around your yard and how you want to practice.

A longer-pile fringe collar lets you practice short chips onto the green. We can size the fringe and surrounding area for the shots you want to work on.

Most backyard greens include several cups so you can set up different putts and distances. The number depends on the size and shape of your green.

Very little. Occasional brushing and re-leveling the silica top-dressing keeps it rolling true. There is no mowing, watering or rolling of live grass.

Yes. The compacted stone base and turf backing drain quickly, so the green is playable again soon after rain rather than staying soggy.
