Pro-style, not a putt-putt
Real breaks and a true roll, shaped into the base before the turf goes down.
Shaped to your yard
Side yard or full backyard, with cups and fringe placed where you want them.
Planned with your turf
Green, lawn and rock on one schedule and one written price.
Decorative rock options
Pick your rock
Here are the rock colors and sizes we install most. Smaller sizes work well for beds and paths, larger sizes for borders and dry creek beds.
Please note: rock selection and sizes can vary based on availability. Rock is a natural material, so color and texture also vary from load to load. Please talk with your Total Turf estimator about your choice before your install.

Common questions
How much does a backyard putting green cost?
Putting greens start at $15,000. Size, the number of cups and how much shaping the breaks need all affect the price. Read our putting green cost guide.
Is this a mini golf green?
No. These are pro-style greens with real breaks, built for practicing your short game, not a putt-putt course.
How big should my green be?
It depends on your space and how you want to use it. We plan the size, breaks and cup spots with you at your free estimate.
Can you build the green with a new lawn?
Yes. We can plan the green, the turf lawn and any rock together, on one schedule and one written price.
How long does a putting green install take?
It depends on the size and how many breaks we shape. We give you a schedule with your written price.
