There is a golf culture across the NE Dallas corridor — Firewheel Golf Park in Garland draws players from across the metro, and a lot of Garland, Rowlett, and Sachse homeowners have the game on their mind year-round. A backyard putting green from Artificial Turf of Garland is not a gimmick installation. It is a genuine short-game practice surface with ball roll speed you can calibrate, contours you can design, and performance that holds up through a Texas summer with no mowing, no watering, and no greens superintendent.
We design around your available space — a standard Garland backyard in Heatherwood or Bradfield Estates might have 400 to 800 square feet to work with. We can build a single-hole practice green in that space with a realistic break, a fringe area, and a chipping zone if you want it. Larger properties in western Rowlett near Lake Ray Hubbard with more square footage can accommodate multi-hole layouts with significant contour variety.
The same workmanship that goes into our residential lawn installs goes into putting greens — clean base prep, invisible seams, properly calibrated infill so the ball rolls true without bouncing and without slow drag. We use specialized nylon-blend putting surface turf, not the same product as the decorative residential pile you see in front yards. The fibers are shorter and denser, purpose-built for consistent ball roll.
Driving to Firewheel or another public course in the Garland area, finding a tee time, playing a full 18 or at least getting to the putting green to practice — that is a two-to-three-hour commitment minimum. For homeowners with busy schedules, kids in GISD activities, or work patterns that do not give back many free mornings, getting regular short-game practice is genuinely difficult. A backyard green eliminates the friction. You can practice 20 putts before dinner. You can work on a specific distance you have been struggling with without waiting for an open spot on the practice green.
The entertainment side matters too. A putting green in a Garland backyard is the kind of feature that gets used for years — neighborhood gatherings, family time with kids who want to learn the game, a neighbor who drops by. It adds a unique character to the property that standard landscaping does not.

Putting green design starts with a conversation about what you want to practice and what your yard allows. We sketch a layout and show you options for hole placement, contour direction, and fringe configuration. If you want a specific break — uphill left-to-right, a significant back-to-front pitch — we can build that into the grade during base preparation.
Base prep for a putting surface is more precise than standard residential turf. We cut and grade to achieve the contour lines discussed in design, then compact the base so the surface does not shift. Nylon putting surface turf goes down after base confirmation — we roll it in the intended direction of primary ball roll. Cups are cut to regulation diameter and depth. Infill — a very light application of silica sand compared to residential pile — is broomed into the surface.
Final calibration: we roll a ball across the green and check the speed. Putting green speed is measured in feet (the stimpmeter measurement) and we calibrate to a target in the range most Garland-area courses run on their practice greens. If you want a faster or slower surface, infill adjustment can be made after the initial install.
