How much space is needed for a backyard putting green?

• <div><p>Typical playing greens on professional circuits are around 1,000 to 1,500 square feet. But it’s not likely that you’ll be trying to hit it from 200 yards out—most residential putting greens range from 200 to 600 square feet. A small DIY putting green kit is around 100 square feet; a good option if you're tight on space.</p></div>

Q: How is synthetic grass installed for putting greens or play areas?

• <div><p>Installers prepare the surface, lay a sub-base for drainage, position the grass carpet, attach seams, and add infill for realism and turf stability.</p></div>

Q: Should the edges of my new grass turn brown?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s common for the edges of new sod to turn brown, especially if they run up against heat-absorbing surfaces like driveways, rocks, or pavers. You can fix this problem with more concentrated watering at the edges of the lawn as it takes root. However, continuing brown problems or brown areas on the inside of the lawn are signs of a problem. The lawn could need more water, or the young grass could be under attack from fungi or other diseases.</p></div>

Q: How long does an outdoor putting green last?

• <div><p>An outdoor putting green will last five to 15 years with proper maintenance. Keeping artificial turf clean or sod trimmed is essential for a long-lasting outdoor putting green, so expect to spend some time on upkeep. Although sunlight, rain, and snow can wear down the putting green, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/artificial-grass-maintenance.htm">regular turf maintenance</a>, like cleaning up debris and replacing worn-out sections, can extend the life of your green to hit that 15-year mark.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to install a putting green?

• <div><p>Most professionals can install some putting greens in between one day and one week, but it depends on the size of the project and the complexity of the design. A small, simple putting green can take only a day to install, while a 2,000-foot-green with hills, slopes, and other challenging site features can take over a week. A DIY installation on flat, level ground will take a few days. </p></div>
