Built to play

A great green is built, not rolled out.

The difference between a green that putts true and one that frustrates you is everything under the turf. We build greens the way the pros do: a compacted, draining base, shaped break and undulation, and seams that hold up to years of practice.

Engineered base

A compacted, free-draining sub-base shaped for the contours you want and built to drain Houston rain fast.

Contours and cups

We shape break and undulation for real playing character and set cup sleeves flush for a clean, true hole.

Turf and seaming

Putting-grade turf seamed with glue and tape for dense, invisible joins that don't affect the roll.

Infill and finishing

The right infill gives the surface stability and a smooth, consistent roll that holds up to daily practice.

Greens we build

Shaped around your yard, not a kit.

Every green starts from the space you have, from a tight side yard to an open lawn, with cups, fringe and chipping areas placed where you will actually use them.

Most homeowners spend roughly $10 to $30 per square foot. Larger greens usually earn a lower per-foot rate, and material and contour choices move the final number. We give you a clear proposal after the consultation.

If it's built for it, yes. Ask us about a combined putting-and-chipping green and we'll build the green and fringe to take chip shots without damage.

Very. With a properly shaped base, putting-grade turf, and the right infill, the roll is smooth and true, which is exactly why the base and infill matter so much.

A quality install typically lasts 15+ years with minimal upkeep, because we build the base and seams to hold up to constant use.
