Green design and contours
Breaks and cup positions planned so the surface stays interesting past the first week.
Artificial Turf / Putting Greens
Backyard putting greens in Las Vegas
A putting green is a turf installation with a much lower tolerance for a bad base.
Putting Greens in the Las Vegas valleyOn a lawn, a quarter inch of settlement is invisible. On a putting surface it is the difference between a ball that tracks and a ball that wanders, and it is the reason most backyard greens stop being used after the first year.
The build is the same as any turf installation with the tolerances tightened. Deeper base, compacted harder, screeded to a plan rather than to eye. Contours built into the base, not into the turf. Cups set with proper cup sleeves so they stay at grade.
Designing one that stays interesting
A flat green is boring after a week. Two or three subtle breaks and a couple of cup positions give you something worth walking out to. A fringe collar in a longer pile around the putting surface makes chipping possible and makes the green look like a green rather than a green rectangle.
We will also tell you when your yard is the wrong shape for one, which happens more often than the industry admits.
Maintenance, which is minimal but not zero
A synthetic green needs brushing against the grain every few weeks to keep the pile standing, and the cup sleeves need clearing of debris or the ball rattles instead of dropping. Sand infill on a putting surface migrates to the low points over a season and needs topping and levelling, which is a twenty minute job that decides whether the roll stays true.
Skip all of that for two years and the green plays slow in the middle and fast at the edges, which is exactly the complaint we get called about.
What this covers
Every part of the job, under one team
Precision base
Deeper aggregate, compacted harder and screeded to plan, because a putting surface shows settlement a lawn hides.
Putting surface and fringe
Short-pile putting turf with a longer fringe collar, so chipping works and the green reads properly.
Cups and sleeves
Set at grade in proper sleeves, positioned for more than one pin.
Integration with the yard
Placed so it fits the space and the sightlines rather than sitting in the middle like an afterthought.
Common questions
What homeowners ask us first
How much space do I need?
Something useful starts around 300 square feet. Below that you have a practice mat, which is fine, but it should be priced like one.
Can it go next to the pool?
Yes, and it usually works well, though we will look at splash and irrigation overspray first because both affect the surface.
