The problem

Your short game needs more than spare weekends

The short game decides scores, but meaningful practice still means a trip to the range or rolling putts across a flat garage mat.

A live green at home is another job entirely: eighth-inch mowing, daily water, constant feeding, and the greenkeeper skills to keep its speed and surface consistent.

A dedicated synthetic green puts purposeful practice in your yard, with contours that read honestly and a finished speed tuned to the courses you play.

What changes

Practice becomes part of the backyard

Daily practice, steps from the patio

A dedicated putting surface is always open. Work on pace, start lines, and pressure putts whenever you have ten minutes. No drive, booking, or garage mat required.

Rolls true and breaks real

Contours are sculpted into the compacted base, then the finished speed is tuned through infill and grooming. The result holds a line, accepts a read, and plays like purposeful practice.

Zero green-keeping

No eighth-inch mowing, aerating, watering, or rescue work after a hot week. The surface stays ready for the next round and carries a 24-year manufacturer warranty, backed by our workmanship guarantee.

How the build works

The game is shaped underneath

A convincing green starts before the surface goes down. Routing, contours, compaction, cup placement, and final tuning work together to create useful practice instead of decoration.

  1. 01

    Design & contour plan

    We map the green, cup locations, fringe, approach lines, and the breaks that make practice useful in the space you have.

  2. 02

    Base sculpting & compaction

    The graded base is shaped into playable contours, then compacted so every break and landing area stays consistent.

  3. 03

    Surface, cups & fringe

    The putting surface is fitted around regulation cups, bonded cleanly, and finished with a durable fringe surround.

  4. 04

    Dial-in

    Infill and grooming tune the speed and roll, followed by a complete play-through and care walkthrough with you.

Good questions

Putting-green questions, answered straight

How much does a backyard putting green cost?

Every putting green is custom, so size, access, contours, cup count, fringe, and site preparation all affect the estimate. Use the estimate wizard to share your approximate area and ZIP. The owner will return a realistic ballpark, then confirm the project after a free on-site measure.

How fast will the green play, and can you match a Stimp speed?

Putting speed is tuned to how you play, not pulled from a one-speed catalog. During dial-in, the crew adjusts infill and grooming until the surface delivers the pace and roll you want. If you have a target Stimpmeter range, include it during the design conversation.

Can a backyard putting green have real breaks and multiple holes?

Yes. Breaks are sculpted into the compacted base so they remain consistent and read like a real green. Multiple regulation cups can be placed around a custom routing, letting you practice different lines and distances without repeating the same putt every time. The plan balances challenge, drainage, and usable yard space.

Can I chip onto an artificial putting green?

Yes, when chipping is part of the design brief. The green and fringe can be planned with approach angles and landing areas that accept short chips from the surrounding turf. Share the clubs and shot distances you want to practice so the base, surface, and usable runout are designed together.

What maintenance does an artificial putting green need?

Routine care is light: remove leaves, brush high-traffic areas, and rinse dust when needed. Periodic professional grooming can redistribute infill and keep the roll consistent. You do not mow, aerate, fertilize, or water the green, and the walkthrough covers the simple care routine for your exact surface.
