Putting Green Installation in Arlington, TX

We install custom putting greens for diverse applications throughout Arlington including residential backyard greens for homeowners seeking convenient practice facilities, golf instruction and training facility greens designed for teaching and skill development, commercial property and office campus greens serving as employee amenities or client entertainment features, golf course practice facility expansions, and specialized installations in indoor spaces or rooftop locations. Our projects range from simple single-hole practice greens to elaborate multi-hole layouts with complex contours, chipping areas, bunkers, and integrated landscaping. We work with serious golfers improving their short game, golf instructors creating training environments, property owners adding premium outdoor amenities, and businesses installing recreational features. Each installation is custom designed to match your space, skill level, practice goals, and performance preferences.

Typical putting green installations require one to two weeks from site preparation through final completion, depending on green size, contour complexity, site conditions, and additional features. A standard residential putting green of 400 to 600 square feet with moderate contours generally takes seven to ten days including excavation, base construction, contouring, turf installation, and finishing work. Larger greens with complex undulations, integrated chipping areas, or bunkers may require two weeks or slightly longer. Smaller, simpler greens can sometimes be completed in five to seven days. Weather affects timelines since base work requires dry conditions. We provide project schedules during planning, coordinate installation to minimize yard disruption, and maintain communication about progress. Most homeowners can resume normal yard use immediately after installation completion.

Green contours are created through precise shaping during base construction, using your custom design as the template for slopes, breaks, and undulations. We transfer design specifications to the excavated area, shape base materials to create planned topography, and refine contours through multiple verification and adjustment cycles. Specialized equipment and hand-shaping techniques achieve the smooth, gradual transitions required for realistic ball roll while maintaining enough slope variation to create interesting putting challenges. Throughout contouring work we verify grade accuracy, test transitions between different areas, and ensure the shaped foundation matches design specifications. Final contouring materials are applied over the base, smoothed to precise tolerances, and verified before turf installation. This multi-phase approach ensures contours perform as designed, breaks are predictable and realistic, and the completed green delivers authentic putting characteristics that replicate golf course conditions.

Putting greens require minimal maintenance compared to natural grass but do need basic care to maintain optimal performance. Routine maintenance includes weekly brushing with a specialized putting green broom to keep fibers upright and maintain consistent ball roll, periodic removal of leaves or debris that accumulate on the surface, and occasional rinsing to remove dust or pollen. Most putting greens also benefit from annual deep cleaning and infill replenishment to restore optimal conditions. We provide detailed maintenance instructions after installation, recommend appropriate brushes and care tools, and offer maintenance services if you prefer professional care. The time investment is minimal, typically requiring 10 to 15 minutes weekly for basic brushing and debris removal, making putting green maintenance far less demanding than caring for natural grass lawns or gardens.

Artificial putting green speeds are adjustable through infill depth and can be calibrated to match your preferred practice conditions, typically ranging from 9 to 12 on the stimpmeter scale. Most residential installations are set to 10 to 11, providing realistic speeds that challenge putting skills without being excessively fast for daily practice. Golf course practice greens often match on-course speeds, usually in the 10 to 11.5 range for typical conditions. We discuss your target green speed during design consultation, considering your skill level, practice objectives, and whether you want speeds matching courses you regularly play. Infill depth determines speed, with less infill creating faster surfaces and more infill producing slower greens. Speed can be adjusted after installation by adding or removing infill, allowing you to modify conditions as your preferences change or to replicate different course conditions for varied practice challenges.

Yes, putting greens can be installed on sloped or uneven properties through appropriate site preparation and base construction that creates level or properly contoured green surfaces. Sloped sites require additional excavation and base building to establish the desired green topography, with uphill areas excavated deeper and downhill areas built up to achieve target elevations. Retaining walls, terracing, or grade transitions may be incorporated to manage elevation changes between the green and surrounding landscape. The installation process creates whatever final green contours you desire regardless of original site slope, though steep terrain requires more extensive site work and potentially increases project cost. During site evaluation we assess slope conditions, discuss integration approaches, and design solutions that create your desired putting surface while managing the existing terrain characteristics effectively.

Yes, we provide putting green installation throughout Arlington and surrounding communities including Mansfield, Grand Prairie, Cedar Hill, Duncanville, Desoto, Midlothian, Waxahachie, Burleson, Crowley, Kennedale, Forest Hill, and other locations throughout Tarrant County and nearby areas. Our service area covers residential and commercial properties where homeowners, businesses, golf facilities, or instructors want professional putting green installation. We travel to your location for initial consultation, site evaluation, and installation work, with travel included in project pricing for locations within our standard service area. During initial contact we confirm service availability for your specific location and discuss your putting green goals, available space, and project parameters to determine if we are the right fit for your installation needs.

Modern golf-specific synthetic putting surfaces deliver highly realistic ball roll that closely replicates natural bent grass greens when properly installed and maintained. The turf features specially engineered short fibers cut to precise heights, dense construction that supports ball weight without deflection, and backing systems that allow smooth contouring. Combined with appropriate sand infill, these surfaces produce true roll with predictable breaks and consistent speed across the green. While subtle differences exist between synthetic and natural grass, quality putting greens provide authentic practice value with ball behavior realistic enough that serious golfers successfully use them for stroke development, green reading practice, and pre-round preparation. The consistency of artificial surfaces actually offers practice advantages since conditions remain constant regardless of weather, time of day, or seasonal changes, allowing focused skill development without the variability inherent in natural grass greens.
