Backyard Putting Greens in Dallas-Fort Worth
A Putting Green Steps From Your Back Door
A backyard putting green is a short-pile synthetic putting surface laid over a shaped, compacted base, with contoured breaks, cups and a fringe collar, built across Dallas-Fort Worth by North Texas Luxury Lawns & Greens.
We plan each green around the space you have and the putts you want to practice.

What Goes Into a Custom Backyard Putting Green?
Every green is designed on site, from a 100 square foot single-cup practice area to a multi-tier layout of 1,500 square feet or more, so the shape, the breaks and the cup count are drawn for your yard and the way you play.
Contours and Breaks
We shape slopes into the base before the turf goes down, so putts break the way they do on a course.
Cups and Flags
As many cups as the space allows, placed so each one plays a different putt.
Slit Film Putting Surface
We install slit film putting turf, the type used at golf facilities, which gives a truer, more consistent roll than landscape turf used as a putting surface.
Fringe Collar
A taller fringe turf frames the putting surface and gives chip shots a place to land.
A Lawn Around It
A green can sit inside an artificial grass lawn, built on one base plan so the two meet cleanly.

The same putting surface fits a game room, garage or office for practice in any weather.

How We Build a Backyard Putting Green in Six Steps
Most residential putting greens take 2 to 5 days from excavation to the final roll test, depending on size and contour.
Design the Green on Site
We walk the yard with you, mark the outline on the ground and pick cup positions around how you want to practice.
Excavate and Grade
The crew removes the grass and topsoil, then grades the clay so water drains away from the green and the house.
Build and Shape the Base
We compact the base in layers and shape the contours into it, because the breaks live in the base, not the turf. The finished base drains at 30 or more inches per hour.
Set the Cups
We set each cup at its marked position, flush with the finished putting surface.
Lay the Putting Surface and Fringe
We lay the putting turf, seam it to the fringe collar and cut both to the outline.
Infill, Brush and Roll Test
We spread the infill, brush the surface and roll balls to every cup to check speed and break before you play it.
How Much Does a Backyard Putting Green Cost in DFW?
A backyard putting green is priced by its size and its design, and six things set the total: the square footage, the contours, the number of cups, the fringe and lawn around it, any chipping or tee area, and access to the yard.
Every quote follows a free design consultation at your property, and financing is available.
See Payment Options- Size of the Green
- The putting area sets the quantities of putting turf, base and labor.
- Contours
- Each break and tier adds base shaping, and multi-tier greens take the most.
- Number of Cups
- Every cup adds a setting and a finished edge on the putting surface.
- Fringe and Lawn
- A wider fringe collar or a full lawn around the green adds turf and base.
- Chipping and Tee Areas
- A tee box or chipping area adds a second turf type and its own base work.
- Yard Access
- A wide gate lets equipment reach the backyard. A narrow one means the crew moves base by hand.

What Golfers Ask Before Building a Backyard Green
Something else on your mind? Call (972) 412-6569.
How Much Does a Backyard Putting Green Cost?
A backyard putting green is priced by its size and design. The total depends on the square footage, the contours, the number of cups, the fringe and lawn around it, any chipping or tee area, and access to the yard. We quote after a free design consultation, and financing is available.
See Payment OptionsHow Much Space Do I Need for a Putting Green?
Putting greens start around 100 square feet for a single-cup practice area and run past 1,500 square feet for multi-tier layouts. Length matters more than total area, since a green needs room for putts of different distances. Side yards and the space between the patio and the fence often work, like the Farmers Branch green above. At the consultation we mark the outline on the ground so you can see the size before anything is dug.
What Is the Difference Between Putting Green Turf and Lawn Turf?
Putting green turf has a short, dense pile built for ball roll, while lawn turf has longer blades made to look and feel like grass. We use slit film putting turf, which plays closer to a real green than tufted landscape turf. A backyard green uses putting turf on the putting surface and taller turf for the fringe and any lawn around it.
How Long Does It Take to Install a Putting Green?
Most residential putting greens take 2 to 5 days, depending on the size of the green and how much contour it has. Your quote includes the timeline.
Can an Artificial Putting Green Have Slopes and Breaks?
Yes. We shape the contours into the compacted base before the turf goes down, so the breaks stay where they were built.
Can I Chip Onto an Artificial Putting Green?
A sand-filled putting surface holds a well-struck chip, and the fringe collar gives short chips a place to land. If chipping matters to you, say so at the design visit and we will plan the fringe and approach around it.
How Do You Maintain an Artificial Putting Green?
Blow off leaves and debris, brush the surface a few times a year to keep the roll even, and top up infill where the traffic is heaviest. Our turf cleaning crew handles deep cleaning and brushing.
See Turf CleaningDo I Need HOA Approval for a Backyard Putting Green?
Many DFW HOAs review any change to a yard, including greens behind a fence. Check your architectural guidelines and send the request before the install is scheduled; most applications ask for a simple plan and the turf products.
Do You Build Putting Greens for Businesses?
Yes. We build commercial-grade putting greens for offices, hospitality properties and golf clubs, as well as homes.
See Commercial TurfCan You Build a Putting Green Indoors?
Yes. Indoor greens use the same putting surface over a prepared floor in a game room, garage or office.
