A professionally built backyard putting green is about much more than the artificial grass you see on the surface.
The foundation, drainage, quality materials and professional installation all work together to create a putting green that delivers a smooth, consistent ball roll and performs reliably for years to come.
At Unreal Lawns, every putting green is carefully designed to suit your property, ensuring it not only looks great but also provides an enjoyable putting experience with minimal maintenance.
Why Professional Installation Matters
A quality putting green starts long before the turf is installed.
Every stage of the installation process contributes to the finished result, including:
- Site preparation
- Base construction
- Drainage
- Surface levelling
- Turf installation
- Infill application
- Final finishing
Professional installation helps ensure your putting green performs consistently while maintaining its appearance over the long term.
Every Backyard Is Different
No two backyards are exactly the same.
Factors such as available space, existing landscaping, drainage and intended use all influence the final design.
Whether you’re looking for a compact practice green or a larger feature with multiple holes and a surrounding fringe, every project is individually planned to complement your outdoor space.

A professionally prepared foundation provides:
- Long-term stability
