Do you enjoy playing golf? Want to practice putting at home? Vision Turf and Lighting can help you install a beautiful and professional putting green in your own backyard. Whether you’re just starting or playing often, having a personal putting green is a fun and smart idea.
In this blog, you’ll learn how putting green installation works, why artificial turf is the best choice, and how Vision Turf and Lighting makes the whole process simple for you.
What is a Putting Green?
A putting green is a small area with smooth grass where golfers practice putting. It is the part of the golf course where the hole is located. Instead of going to the golf course, you can have a custom putting green installed at home.
These greens are usually made with artificial turf, which looks and feels like real grass. You can use it in your backyard, side yard, or even indoors.
Benefits of Artificial Turf Putting Greens
Why Choose Artificial Turf?
Artificial turf is better for putting greens because:
- Low Maintenance: No need to mow or water.
- Always Green: Looks perfect every season.
- Durable: Can handle heavy use and all weather.
- Cost-Effective: Saves money over time.
Vision Turf and Lighting uses high-quality turf that gives a true ball roll and a real golf feel.
How Putting Green Installation Works
Vision Turf and Lighting follows a careful and tested process to install your putting green. Here are the steps:
Step 1: Free Site Visit and Custom Design
First, a team member visits your property to see the space and talk about your goals. You choose the design, size, number of holes, and any extra features like chipping areas or fringe grass. They create a custom plan based on your needs.
Step 2: Ground Preparation
They clear the area, remove grass and debris, and level the ground. A weed barrier is added to stop weed growth. Then, they lay a layer of crushed stone or gravel to create a strong base with good drainage.
Step 3: Turf Installation
The synthetic turf is rolled out and cut to fit the shape of your design. The pieces are glued or seamed together tightly. The turf used is soft, realistic, and built to last.
Step 4: Infill and Brushing
Special sand, called infill, is added to keep the turf blades upright and help the ball roll smoothly. A power brush is used to raise the blades and make the turf look fresh.
Step 5: Cup and Flag Installation
Putting cups are installed where you want the holes. Flagsticks are added to give it a true golf-course look.
Step 6: Final Check and Cleanup
The team checks the surface for smoothness and tests the ball roll. Once it’s perfect, they clean up the area and give you tips on how to care for your new green.
