A backyard putting green takes different turf, different base work, and a different build approach than a standard lawn. Prescott Artificial Turf Pros shapes greens with real break and consistent roll, built on a sub-base that holds its contour through Prescott's freeze-thaw winters instead of heaving or settling the way a flat lawn base can get away with.
We design around your space, whether that's a single practice hole tucked against a patio or a multi-hole layout that uses the full yard. Every green gets short-pile turf matched to the contour plan, not a cut-down lawn product.

How Our Putting Green Installation Process Works
Step 1Green layout design
A contour plan is built around the breaks and hole placement you want to practice.
Step 2Sub-base shaping
The sub-base gets shaped by hand for slopes that hold up under Prescott's seasonal freeze-thaw cycling.
Step 3Compaction and leveling
Base material is compacted in lifts so the green doesn't settle unevenly over time.
Step 4Green turf installation
Short-pile putting turf is rolled over the shaped base and secured without wrinkles.
Step 5Cup and collar placement
Cups go in at the agreed locations so the green plays the way it was designed.
Step 6Speed testing
We roll test balls across the surface and check break consistency before calling it done.
Materials
Materials and Methods for Putting Green Installation
Short-pile putting turf
Low-nap fiber engineered for a smooth, true roll even at Prescott's elevation and UV exposure.
Green speed sand infill
Fine sand infill lets us dial in putting speed to match the contour design.
Regulation cup inserts
Standard-size inserts so practice carries over to any course.
Fringe turf blend
Longer fringe turf frames the green and marks the transition from lawn to putting surface.
Contoured sub-base foam
Shaped foam panels build the breaks and slopes under the turf, stable through freeze-thaw cycling.
Edge binding strips
Binding strips keep the green's perimeter clean against patios, gravel, or planting beds.

DIY vs Hiring a Pro for Putting Green Installation
| DIY | Hire a pro |
|---|---|
| Fine for a flat, single-cup practice mat with no real contouring | Contouring and break design take experience to get right; a miscut sub-base throws off every putt |
| Reasonable for renters or short-term setups with no permanent base work | Matching fringe to green turf cleanly at the seam line is hard to do without the right tools |
| — | A properly compacted sub-base holds its shape through freeze-thaw winters instead of shifting season to season |

FAQs
Putting Green Installation FAQs
How much does a backyard putting green cost in Prescott?
Most single-hole greens run a few thousand dollars depending on size and contouring complexity; multi-hole layouts with heavy shaping cost more. Request a free estimate for your yard's dimensions.
How long does a putting green last?
A well-built green with quality turf and proper base work typically performs well for over a decade before infill or turf replacement is needed.
Can I add more than one hole later?
But it's more cost-effective to plan multiple holes into the original contour design rather than adding sections after the fact.
Does putting green turf need the same infill as lawn turf?
No. Putting greens use fine sand infill tuned for consistent ball speed, not the general-purpose infill used on standard lawns.
Will a putting green work on a sloped Prescott lot?
Slope can actually be used as part of the contour design, but it needs to be planned and shaped correctly during sub-base work.
Is DIY putting green installation a good idea?
It's workable for a flat practice mat, but true contouring and consistent roll require base shaping experience most homeowners don't have the tools or time for.
