Backyard putting greens in San Diego. Built to actually putt on.
A real putting green needs three things most installers skip: a properly graded base with a putting-speed surface, real PGA-spec cups set into the base, and a fringe ring that lets you chip from the rough. We design the cup layout around how you'll actually use the green — break direction, stance lines, and chipping angles included.
What's included in this service?
- On-site green design: shape, contour, cup placement, chip pad
- Compacted decomposed granite base with proper grade for true roll
- Premium nylon putting turf (50–60 oz, stimp 9–11)
- Real PGA-spec cups set flush into the base with cup liners and flags
- Fringe turf ring (longer-pile turf) around the green for chipping
- Optional chip pad or sand bunker for short-game practice
- Drainage tied into existing yard drains
- Walk-through and putting demo on completion
When do you need this service?
- You play regularly and want a home practice surface
- A pool, spa, or yard remodel left an unused side yard
- You're entertaining and want a backyard centerpiece
- A child or grandchild is taking up golf
- Resale: putting greens are a documented home-value add in SD
What do homeowners ask about Putting Green?
How big does my yard need to be for a putting green?
A usable practice green starts around 150 square feet — that's enough for two cups and meaningful putts up to 15 feet. A multi-cup green with a chipping area starts around 400 sq ft. We design within whatever space you have.
What is the speed of the green?
We install turf rated stimp 9 to 11 — country-club average is around stimp 11. Speed depends on infill weight and brushing schedule. We can dial it slower for a beginner or faster for serious practice.
Can the green hold up to chipping?
Yes. We add a fringe ring of longer-pile turf around the putting surface so chip shots release like real fringe. For full-swing wedge practice, we recommend a separate chip pad with synthetic fairway turf and an impact mat zone.
Will the cups stay level?
Cups sit in PVC liners cemented into the compacted base, not just dropped into loose dirt. They stay level for the life of the green.

Homeowners who hired us for this
Got quotes from three turf companies. Green Pro Turf was the only one who measured drainage on our slope and explained why the base spec mattered. Two summers in, no seam pull, no settling. Looks the same as install day.
Two big dogs killed our lawn over and over. Switched to pet turf — drainage is real, the zeolite infill keeps the smell down, and we just hose it off weekly. Should have done this five years ago.
They built a 350 sq ft green with two cups and a fringe ring. Speed is right around stimp 10. My short game has actually improved. Crew was on time every day, cleanup was perfect.
