Putting Green Turf, What Is It?

Whoever thought of having putting green turf in their own backyard? Yes, it’s a new idea, certainly. But these are rapidly growing in popularity as every golfer wants the chance to practice golf more often. So to understand how these artificial creations work for backyard use, let’s take a closer look at what they are.

This is a combination of art and science. This is synthetic turf that utilizes cutting-edge design, advanced construction and installation techniques, and the finest turf products to create a signature backyard, unique to your own tastes. The beautiful thing about synthetic turf is that it is highly customizable, so homeowners are able to work with specialist contractors to custom-create the ideal backyard putting green for them.

A Home Putting Green That Is Synthetic – How It Works

But how do these fantastic creations actually work? And do they function like regular golf courses? They are very similar to the ones you’re used to from the golf course, except a synthetic one is even more high-tech. Synthetic putting greens utilize a system of high-quality materials to create a course that is aesthetic, durable, and conducive to a one-of-a-kind golfing experience that you get to have right in your own backyard. And you don’t have to mow the grass!

Here’s how it works. Picture a full-scale golf course, brought to the scale of a backyard or part of a backyard. A home putting green is constructed removing a fair amount of the existing backyard as the custom tiers, meticulous contours, and perfect undulations of a synthetic putting green require a good amount of fill. Then synthetic turf can be brought in and layered throughout the backyard.

Once the “rough draft” of the home putting green has been formed, expert detailers hedge, etch, remove, add, and otherwise play with the project until it is perfect. Finally, custom-designed synthetic turfs specifically made are installed as a final surface layer, encasing the new backyard in a protective and aesthetic blanket of green splendor. Just like that, your backyard is transformed into your very own private golf course!

An Outdoor Putting Green Using Artificial Grass Equals Little Maintenance

If you’ve ever grown tired of doing yard work and upkeep in your backyard, the added bonus of having an outdoor putting green is, yes, much less maintenance. Artificial green takes care of itself, to a large degree, and whatever maintenance tasks are leftover can be addressed on a service plan with your design and installation contractor.

And that’s just the first of many benefits to having an outdoor putting green in your own backyard. With just a few steps away from your porch you can get in as much practice as you want, every day. Those short putts are often the most difficult for all of us to master, especially when the pressure is on in a highly competitive game. Having your own outdoor green means that you get more time on the course, without actually having to drive to the course.

Getting Ready for the Perfect Backyard Putting Green

If you’re a regular golf enthusiast, you’ve probably felt on more than one occasion that there just doesn’t seem to be enough time in the week to spend at the golf course. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could live at the country club and golf every day? Well, using the most realistic artificial grass technology, we can now install artificial putting green grass right in our own backyards. Imagine that! This is every avid golfer’s dream come true. Here’s a guide for getting ready for the perfect backyard putting green.

Artificial Turf Is Great for Playgrounds

Artificial turf is a great option for covering your playground area, for helping to reduce impact and injury from falls, and for giving your children the feeling of soft grass. The infill underneath will help absorb your child’s falls, keeping your children safe and your play area looking perfect. The artificial grass is non-toxic and safe for your children, and it is fully recyclable when you’re ready to install something else!

Call us for more information on artificial turf for playgrounds, putting greens, dog runs, commercial sites, and residential applications. (615) 356-0139.

Infill

Artificial grass of today is not what it was 10 years ago; the main difference is the use of infill material. Synthetic grass infill are small rubber particles or sand that are placed between the blades of grass to help keep them standing up and keep them looking real, especially in high traffic areas. Infill also gives the surface more cushioning and acts as an artificial earth, providing more shock absorption and giving you the feel of walking on real grass.

Frequently Asked Questions

Given that our synthetic turf technology is the newest of the new, our customers often have questions about it. Designing and installing backyard putting greens on residential properties is a relatively new concept. We’re here to get your questions answered, to ensure that you have all of the information that you need before you proceed.

For a quick look at some of the common queries we receive, take a look at our FAQ below:

Yes, but only in very extreme temperatures. And the better quality the turf product, the more protected it is against the sun. Our turfs are the best, American-made synthetic turfs available. They will only warm up on the very hottest of summer days.

Yes! Our customers love synthetic putting greens because they are low maintenance. Even in a heavy, deluge downpour, our putting greens transfer heavy rainfall through the turf and into the drainage system beneath. The turf does this rapidly and efficiently, preventing pools, water runoff, flooding, etc.

Cheaper turfs will fade due to extensive sun exposure. Turfs installed by Smart Scapes LLC do not fade. They will retain their color year after year.

The majority of the green, the parts you don’t see, (like the undulations and contouring done beneath the green itself, the drainage system, the sand padding, and so on), will last indefinitely. As for the green itself, it should last twenty years or more.

As you can probably imagine, this depends quite a bit on the size of the project and its complexity. But for the most part, our putting greens range from fifteen to twenty-five dollars per square foot.
