Backyard Putting Green West Palm Beach | PGA-Quality Installation

Don’t Build a “Mini-Golf” Course. Build a Practice Facility.

Let’s be honest: You have seen them. The backyard putting greens that look like bright green carpet glued to a concrete slab. The ball wobbles when it rolls. The seams are visible from the neighbor’s house. And if you try to chip onto it, the ball bounces like it hit a cart path.

That isn’t a putting green. That’s a toy.

If you are a serious golfer living in West Palm Beach or Wellington, you don’t want a toy. You want a short-game complex that actually mimics the conditions you face on Saturday mornings. You want true ball roll, adjustable Stimp speeds, and a surface that accepts a checked wedge shot.

At The Artificial Grass Pros, we don’t just “lay turf.” We engineer high-performance golf surfaces. Whether you are trying to lower your handicap or just want the best entertainment space in the neighborhood, we build greens that play like the real thing.

Why WPB Golfers Choose The Artificial Grass Pros

We know that building a green in Palm Beach Gardens (with its sandy soil) is different than building one in a clay-heavy area. We understand the specific challenges of Florida’s humidity and salt air.

Here is the difference between us and the “landscaper guys”:

• Stimp Control: We can engineer your green to roll at a specific speed (usually 9–12 on the Stimp meter). We don’t just guess; we test it.

• The “Check” Factor: Our specialized infill systems allow the green to hold a chip shot. A cheap green rejects the ball; ours absorbs the energy, allowing you to practice your 40-yard wedges.

• No “Volcano” Cups: Have you ever seen a green where the hole sits higher than the grass, so you have to putt uphill to get it in? That’s lazy installation. We set our cups to PGA standards flush and true.

• Warranty: We use UV-stabilized turf that won’t fade or “crunch” under the Florida sun, backed by a manufacturer warranty that protects your investment.

Custom Golf Services for the Palm Beaches

We don’t do cookie-cutter ovals. We design complex, multi-hole systems that fit your landscape and your game.

1. Professional Putting Greens

This is our flagship service. We use Polypropylene or Nylon fibers (depending on your preference for speed) to create a surface that mimics TifEagle Bermuda. We can build in subtle breaks and undulations so you never get bored practicing the same straight putt.

2. Chipping & Target Greens

If you have the space in Wellington or Loxahatchee, we can install “fringe” and rough turf around the green. This allows you to practice chipping from different lies—tight lies, deep rough, or even a fringe bump-and-run.

3. Sand Bunkers (Real or Synthetic)

Want to practice your sand saves? We can install real silica sand bunkers with proper drainage. Or, if you hate maintenance, we install “white turf” bunkers that look like sand but require zero raking.

4. Indoor / Lanai Greens

Florida summers are hot. We frequently install putting surfaces inside screened lanais or game rooms, so you can practice your stroke even when it’s raining sideways at 3 PM.

Navigating WPB Soil & Drainage

Building a putting green in West Palm Beach requires understanding the ground underneath it.

The “Sinkhole” Risk: Our soil is sandy and porous. If an installer just lays a thin base, your green will develop dips and troughs within a year. A putt that is supposed to be straight will suddenly break left because the ground settled.

• Our Fix: We install a compacted aggregate base that is deeper than industry standards. We lock it in so your green stays flat (or keeps its designed contours) forever.

The Salt Air Factor: If you are on the Intracoastal or near Flagler Drive, salt spray is real. It corrodes cheap metal cups and flags. We use marine-grade aluminum and UV-resistant plastics that can handle the coastal environment without pitting or rusting.

Questions We Get About Backyard Greens

Q: How fast will the green roll? A: It depends on what you want. Most of our clients request a Stimp reading of 9 to 11, which matches most private clubs in the area. We can adjust the speed by adding or removing top-dressing infill.

Q: Can I chip onto it? A: Yes, but you need the right system. If you want to hit high flop shots that land soft, tell us upfront. We will use a specific turf product with a taller pile height and a specialized “cushion” layer underneath to absorb the impact.

Q: Does it get hot? A: It can get warm in direct July sun, yes. However, putting green turf is usually lighter in color than landscape grass, so it doesn’t absorb as much heat. Plus, a quick spray with the hose cools it down instantly.

Q: How do I maintain it? A: It’s very low maintenance. Keep the leaves off it with a blower. Occasionally, you might want to “roll” it (with a water roller) to smooth out the grain if you play on it heavily. That’s about it.

Our Installation Process: Building for Performance

We build putting greens using the same principles used to build roadbeds. Stability is everything.

• Excavation: We dig down to remove organics that could rot or shift.

• Base Construction: We bring in tons of crushed rock and vibrate it until it is rock hard. This is where we shape the undulations—creating those subtle “left-to-right” breaks you want to practice.

• The Panel System (Optional): For ultra-smooth greens, we can install a polymeric panel system underneath the turf. This ensures zero wrinkles and perfect ball roll, rain or shine.

• Turf Installation: We stretch the turf tight. Loose turf = slow putts. We mechanically fasten it to the perimeter.

• Infill & Rolling: We brush in fine silica sand (often colored green to hide it) and roll the green repeatedly. This weights the turf down and stands the fibers up for a true roll.

Equipment We Use for Precision

• Laser Levels: We use lasers to ensure the “flat” parts of your green are actually flat and the slopes are consistent.

• Plate Compactors: Essential for a base that won’t settle.

• Power Brooms: These stiff-bristled machines force the sand deep into the turf fibers, which is critical for ball speed consistency.

The Value of a Private Short Game Complex

Golf is a game of confidence. The ability to walk out your back door and sink fifty 4-foot putts before dinner does wonders for your game.

• Property Value: In a golf-centric area like Palm Beach County, a well-built putting green is a desirable asset. It differentiates your home from the one across the street.

• Lifestyle: It’s a gathering place. It’s where you have a drink with friends or teach your grandkids how to hold a putter. It gets people outside and off their phones.

Why “The Pros” Are the Only Choice

There are plenty of companies that will “throw in” a putting green as an afterthought to a landscaping job.

Don’t hire a landscaper to build a golf green.

• We Are Golfers: We understand what a “bad lie” is. We know that a cup shouldn’t be placed on a 4% slope where the ball won’t stay in.

• Specialized Crews: Our installers specialize in synthetic turf. That is all they do. They know how to hide seams so they are invisible to the eye and the ball.

• Custom Design: We sit down with you and design the breaks. Want a double-breaker? Want a flat straightaway for drill work? We build it to your specs.

Serving West Palm Beach & Surrounding Areas

We install luxury greens throughout Palm Beach County:

• West Palm Beach: From the historic estates of El Cid to the waterfront condos (where we do rooftop greens).

• Wellington: Large estate greens with chipping areas and bunkers.

• Palm Beach Gardens: Home to the PGA, and home to many of our clients.

• Jupiter & Tequesta: Coastal installations that withstand the elements.

• Lake Worth & Boynton Beach: Transforming backyards into fun zones.

Pro Tip: The “Stimp” Maintenance

Want to keep your green rolling fast?

• Brush It: Occasional brushing stands the fibers up. If they lay flat, the ball slows down.

• Keep It Clean: Dirt and pollen can clog the fibers and slow the roll. A quick rinse with a hose keeps the speed up.

• The “Speed Boost”: If you want it faster for a weekend party, run a heavy lawn roller over it. It compresses the fibers and adds about a foot to the Stimp rating instantly.
