Project description
Looking for an experienced installer to design and build a contoured synthetic putting green in my backyard, sized roughly 400–500 square feet, meant for serious short-game practice rather than a flat decorative patch. The project starts with site grading: stripping the existing sod, checking the slope for natural drainage away from the house foundation, and excavating to a depth that allows for a proper base. The sub-base should be a compacted crushed-stone layer for structural support, topped with a finer crushed-fines or decomposed-granite layer that can actually be sculpted into rolling contours — ridges, swales, and at least two distinct breaking sections so putts behave differently depending on where the cup is placed. This shaping step is the part I care most about: I do not want a pool-table-flat green, I want something that forces reading a real slope.
On top of the shaped base, I want a putting-specific synthetic turf with a short, dense pile that gives a consistent, true roll — not a lawn-style product repurposed for putting. Seams between turf rolls need to be glued and sewn so they stay invisible and don't create a bump the ball catches on. Infill should be chosen to keep the roll speed even across the whole surface, including where the contours are steepest.
I'd like four to six cups installed at varying distances (short 3–4 foot putts up to a longer 25–30 foot putt across a break), with regulation-size cup sleeves set flush so a flagstick can be dropped in and pulled without disturbing the turf edge. Around the green, I want a fringe or light rough border in a slightly longer pile to mimic a real course transition, plus a clean, straight-edged perimeter against the existing lawn or planting beds — no visible seams or exposed edging material.
Timeline: I'm flexible, but would like the whole project — grading, base compaction, contour shaping, turf installation, and cup setting — completed within about two to three weeks depending on weather. Please include your approach to drainage testing after a hard rain, and let me know what warranty you offer on seams and infill settling. Photos of prior contoured (not flat) putting greens you've built would help me pick the right person for this.
