Serving Apache Junction and nearby communities.

A backyard putting green takes advantage of the large lots common around Apache Junction without burning water on a full lawn. Apache Junction Artificial Turf builds contoured greens sized for whatever space you have, from a single-cup practice patch to a multi-hole layout that wraps around existing landscaping.

Short-pile putting turf and a shaped sub-base give the green realistic ball roll, and the surrounding fringe turf ties it visually into the rest of the yard. We work around patios, block walls, and irrigation lines already on the property rather than asking you to redesign the whole backyard.

How it works

How Our Putting Green Installation Process Works

  1. Green layout design photo
    Step 1

    Green layout design

    We sketch hole placement and break patterns around your yard's actual shape.

  2. Sub-base shaping photo
    Step 2

    Sub-base shaping

    Decomposed granite and native soil get shaped into slopes before any turf goes down.

  3. Compaction and leveling photo
    Step 3

    Compaction and leveling

    The base is compacted so the green doesn't shift or dip after the first monsoon season.

  4. Green turf installation photo
    Step 4

    Short-pile putting turf is rolled, stretched, and secured over the shaped base.

  5. Cup and collar placement photo
    Step 5

    Cup and collar placement

    Cups go in at the planned spots, set flush so mowers and feet don't catch an edge.

  6. Speed testing photo
    Step 6

    Speed testing

    We roll test balls across the green and adjust infill until the roll feels consistent.

Materials

Materials and Methods for Putting Green Installation

  • Short-pile putting turf photo

    Short-pile putting turf

    Low-nap fibers give a true roll instead of the shaggy bounce of standard lawn turf.

  • Green speed sand infill photo

    Green speed sand infill

    Fine sand infill lets us dial in a faster or slower green depending on what you want to practice.

  • Regulation cup inserts photo

    Regulation cup inserts

    Standard-size cups mean the green plays like a real course, not a backyard approximation.

  • Fringe turf blend photo

    Fringe turf blend

    A longer-pile fringe marks the transition from green to rough, same as a real course.

  • Contoured sub-base foam photo

    Contoured sub-base foam

    Shaped foam panels hold slopes and breaks in place under Apache Junction's summer heat swings.

  • Edge binding strips photo

    Edge binding strips

    Binding keeps the green's perimeter from fraying where it meets gravel, pavers, or turf.

FAQs

Putting Green Installation FAQs

How much does a backyard putting green cost?

Most residential greens run $12-$25 per sq ft depending on contouring complexity and the number of cups, with simple flat designs on the lower end.

Does a putting green need special turf or can I use regular lawn turf?

Regular lawn turf has too much pile height for consistent ball roll. Putting greens use a dedicated short-pile product designed for golf, not foot traffic.

How long does a putting green last in Arizona heat?

A properly installed green with UV-stable fibers typically holds its color and performance for well over a decade before the surface needs attention.

Can I add slopes and breaks to a flat yard?

Yes. The sub-base gets shaped with foam and compacted fill before turf goes down, so breaks are built into the base rather than the turf itself.

Is DIY putting green installation realistic?

Small single-cup kits are doable for a handy homeowner, but multi-hole greens with real breaks need professional base shaping to roll true.

Do I need a permit for a backyard putting green?

Typically no, since it's a surface-level landscape change, but check with Pinal or Maricopa County if the green ties into drainage work.
