A backyard putting green isn't lawn turf cut short. Drexel Heights Artificial Turf Pros builds contoured greens with short-pile turf and a compacted sub-base shaped for consistent ball roll.

Standard yard turf and putting green turf come from different product lines entirely. Pile height, nap direction, and base shaping all change once you're trying to read a break instead of just walking across grass.

Putting Green Installation

Installation Process

  • Green layout design — A custom contour plan is created based on desired hole placement and break patterns.
  • Sub-base shaping — The sub-base is shaped to form subtle slopes and breaks for realistic ball roll.
  • Compaction and leveling — Base material is compacted and leveled so the caliche soil underneath doesn't shift the contours later.
  • Green turf installation — Specialized short-pile putting turf is rolled out and secured over the shaped base.
  • Cup and collar placement — Cups and collars are installed at planned locations for realistic play features.
  • Speed testing — The finished green is tested for consistent ball roll and speed accuracy.

FAQs

Putting Green Turf FAQs

What's the difference between putting green turf and backyard turf?

Putting green turf has a much shorter, denser pile built for smooth ball roll. Backyard turf is longer and softer, meant for walking and lounging, not golf speed.

How long does a putting green installation take?

A standard backyard green usually takes 2 to 3 days from base shaping through final cup placement, depending on size and contouring.

Can a putting green be added to an existing yard without redoing the whole lawn?

Yes. Greens are typically built as a standalone section with their own base and turf, separate from the surrounding lawn.

How much does a putting green cost compared to standard turf?

Expect a higher per-square-foot cost than flat lawn turf because of the shaping, cup hardware, and specialty turf product involved.

Do putting greens need maintenance?

Occasional brushing and infill top-off keep roll speed consistent, but there's no mowing or watering involved.
