Our Austin, TX Artificial Turf Installation Process
THE MASTER OF INSTALLATION TECHNOLOGY
Since 1996, Southwest Greens has been setting the bar for synthetic grass installation across the country. Over more than 6,000 greens completed worldwide. More than dozens of top PGA Tour pros have our artificial turf in their home practice spaces. That kind of track record doesn't happen by accident. It happens through a system that's been optimized, tested, and mastered at every phase.
BUILT IN THE USA
Our artificial grass is manufactured right here in America by Shaw Industries, a Berkshire Hathaway company. That means every roll of lawn turf grass that goes into your build has the support of one of the most trusted names in surface technology — paired with the hands-on craftsmanship of regional Southwest Greens crew in Austin. Shaw's R&D team has introduced innovations like Bolt™ fiber technology and HydroChill® evaporative cooling, so the artificial turf you're getting isn't just long-lasting — it's truly comfortable to practice on, even on sunny afternoons.
CERTIFIED INSTALLERS, EVERY TIME
Every Southwest Greens representative in Austin is trained and certified through our Pro System — a comprehensive certification system built around the strictest standards in the artificial turf industry. This isn't just an easy piece of paper. It's how we guarantee that your synthetic grass installation is executed flawlessly the first time, with the technical expertise and technical know-hwo to support every decision made during installation. No competitor offers that level of certified quality and reliability.
LAYER BY LAYER, IT ALL COMES TOGETHER
Once the base is set, we install a standard ¼-inch pad designed to promote consistent ball roll and reduce the impact of shots. From there, our 1⅛-inch polypropylene artificial grass is installed — crafted to recreate the color, softness, and response of natural grass. The turf is then packed with premium silica sand, giving it the realistic feel underfoot that elevates a professional-grade outdoor putting green from one that just has the looks.
6,000+ GREENS, ONE STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE
Whether you're creating a backyard putting green to sharpen your short game or planning a full artificial turf installation for a commercial property, the method is the same: exact, certified, and made to last. We doesn't do cookie-cutter. Every sq ft of artificial grass we install demonstrates the precision we've spent nearly three decades developing.
THE FINISHING TOUCHES THAT MAKE IT YOURS
Zero Southwest Greens projects are identical — and that’s exactly the point. Once the base layers are installed, we roll the putting layer to simulate the playability of a bent grass green. From there, the options expand.
Fringe in the primary and secondary cut, tee lines, hazards, bunkers, fairways, roughs — whatever your vision calls for, we can construct it. Your outdoor putting green should feel like it was made for your space, your playing style, and your vision. That's exactly what we create.
