For the avid golfer or the active family, the concept of a “Staycation” has evolved from a simple weekend at home to creating a permanent resort-style environment just outside the back door. Installing an Artificial Turf and Putting Green on a backyard in Charlotte is an Outside Staycation of enjoyment. This type of installation transcends traditional landscaping; it turns a passive patch of grass into an interactive destination. Instead of loading up the car to drive to a crowded driving range or fighting for a Saturday morning tee time, homeowners can step onto their own private course with a cup of coffee in hand, enjoying the game they love in the privacy of their own sanctuary.
The distinction between a high-quality installation and a generic one lies in the engineering. A professional putting green is not merely a carpet laid over dirt; it is a complex system designed to mimic the performance of a bentgrass green found at a country club. The process begins with a meticulously compacted aggregate base, shaped to provide realistic breaks and undulations that challenge the player’s short game. We then install a specialized, tight-knit turf that offers a “true roll,” often adjusting the speed (stimpmeter) to the homeowner’s preference. Surrounding this pristine putting surface is a collar of taller, lush artificial turf—the “fringe” or “rough”—which allows for chipping practice and seamlessly blends the feature into the rest of the landscape.
Beyond the recreational benefits, the practicality of this setup is unmatched. The artificial turf eliminates the need for mowing, watering, fertilizing, and aeration. In the heat of a Charlotte summer, while natural lawns turn brown or succumb to disease, the putting green remains vibrantly green and ready for play. The superior drainage system integrated into the base means the surface is playable almost immediately after a heavy rain, without the worry of mud or standing water. This combination of aesthetic perfection, low maintenance, and recreational utility increases the property’s value and usability. It is a sophisticated, fun, and smart investment that fulfills our promise of Making Homes More Beautiful®, ensuring your backyard is the envy of the neighborhood.
