A backyard putting green is a different build than a lawn. It needs real contour, a base that holds its shape, and turf short enough to give a true roll instead of a bounce. Tempe Artificial Turf Pros shapes and installs backyard greens sized for the compact lots common around Tempe, where space is tight but a dedicated green still fits against a fence line or side yard.
Most Tempe backyards near ASU and the surrounding neighborhoods run smaller than suburban lots farther out, so our green designs lean toward one or two holes with real break rather than a sprawling multi-hole course. The shaping and cup placement still get the same attention either way.

How Our Putting Green Installation Process Works
Step 1Green layout design
A contour plan is drawn up based on where you want breaks and hole placement in the yard.
Step 2Sub-base shaping
The sub-base is hand-shaped to build in the slopes that make the green play true.
Step 3Compaction and leveling
Base material is compacted so it holds its shape through Tempe's summer heat swings.
Step 4Green turf installation
Short-pile putting turf is rolled over the shaped base and secured at the edges.
Step 5Cup and collar placement
Cups and collars go in at the planned spots for real course-style play.
Step 6Speed testing
We roll test balls across the green to confirm consistent speed before calling it done.
Materials
Materials and Methods for Putting Green Installation
Everything here is chosen for a true roll that holds up under Tempe's sun, not just a green-colored patch of turf.
Short-pile putting turf
Low-nap fibers give a smooth, consistent roll instead of the drag you get from standard lawn turf.
Green speed sand infill
Fine sand infill lets us dial in putting speed and firmness to match what you want.
Regulation cup inserts
Standard-size cups make the green playable for real practice, not just decoration.
Fringe turf blend
Longer fringe turf marks the transition from green to surrounding lawn or landscaping.
Contoured sub-base foam
Shaped foam panels build the breaks and slopes under the putting surface.
Edge binding strips
Binding strips keep the green's perimeter clean and prevent edge lift in Tempe's heat.

Putting Green Installation FAQs
How much does a backyard putting green cost in Tempe?
Pricing depends mostly on size and how much shaping the design needs. A simple one-hole green with basic contour costs less than a larger green with multiple breaks and cups. Ask for a free estimate and we'll walk the space with you.
Can a putting green fit in a small Tempe backyard?
Yes. Many Tempe lots run smaller, especially near ASU, so most of our greens are designed as a one- or two-hole feature along a side yard or back fence rather than a full course layout.
How long does a putting green last before it needs attention?
With UV-stable turf and a properly compacted base, a backyard green holds its shape for years. Infill may need topping off occasionally and the surface benefits from an occasional brush to keep ball roll consistent.
Do I need a permit to install a putting green?
Most backyard putting greens are a standard landscaping change and don't require a city permit, but if the project changes grading or drainage flow, check with the City of Tempe first.
Can you match the green to an existing yard design?
Fringe turf color and border materials can be selected to blend with your existing landscaping rather than looking like a separate feature.
Does the green need irrigation or special drainage?
No irrigation is needed since it's synthetic, but we still grade the base so rain and monsoon runoff drain away instead of pooling on the surface.
