"My husband and I hired Joe Gibbs and his hard-working crew almost 3 years ago, and it has continued to be such a wise and lucky decision for us ever since! Joe's depth of knowledge about plants, shrubs, and trees is amazing, and his gardening designs give us full color and seasonal enjoyment all year long. He saved us money right from the beginning by transplanting our failing large and small shrubs and plants into areas where they are now flourishing in other spaces in our yard. He also saved our five Crepe Myrtle trees when other landscapers we had interviewed said they were unsavable. Joe is very honest and likable and has a mellow and good-natured personality. On every visit he always takes the time to chat and get a feel for what we think we want, but he also uses his excellent judgement and experience to sometimes prevail with his 6th sense of what he needs to do, and he's always right!! He personally instructs his crew on every nuance, and they work very hard and do a total cleanup every time. As my husband and I are aging, we're depending on Joe and his helpers more and more, which gives us great relief. We both feel so fortunate to have found Joe Gibbs and Springhill Gardens and Landscaping."

"We had a fantastic experience with JK Gardening Lawn & Garden Care, from start to finish. Their pricing was very reasonable, and the quality of service exceeded our expectations. Kevin and his uncle came out to plant 20 emerald green arborvitae trees along our driveway. They dug all the holes by hand, demonstrating incredible effort and precision. They even moved the excess dirt into a neat pile exactly where we requested. Once the job was done, they thoroughly cleaned up and even blew the driveway free of debris. We couldn't be happier with their professionalism and attention to detail. Highly recommend!"

Absolutely. If you're passionate about golf and want to practice anytime without leaving home, installing a backyard putting green is worth it. While it's an investment, consider the cost of joining a golf club—elite clubs charge up to $500,000.
Plus, annual membership fees average $6,000, and that's before additional costs like per-round fees, caddies, carts, and other extras that can add $1,000 or more per year. Over time, having your own putting green could save you money and provide endless convenience.
A good size for a backyard putting green is around 500 square feet—it provides ample space for practice without overwhelming your yard. If space is limited, even a 100-square-foot green can be fun and functional. If you have room to spare, a larger green up to 2,000 square feet lets you add areas for long putts or mini-golf features. Ultimately, the best size is one that fits your space and meets your practice needs.
Artificial turf supports chipping because its longer, durable fibers are engineered to deliver precise chip and pitch shots. This surface allows dedicated chipping mats to effectively simulate a natural putting green, making your practice sessions both efficient and reliable. The design replicates true green conditions, boosting shot accuracy and confidence, and ensuring your backyard practice area performs as intended.
Putting greens are made from either natural grass or synthetic materials like nylon and polypropylene. Natural greens use specialized bentgrass for a smooth surface, while synthetic greens feature durable fibers designed to mimic real grass. Installation costs are about $18 to $25 per square foot for synthetic turf and $1 to $2 per square foot for natural sod.
It takes between one day and one week to install a backyard putting green. Professional teams complete a compact and straightforward installation in one day, whereas larger projects featuring design elements like hills and slopes require up to a week. The installation duration depends on the project’s overall complexity and scale, ensuring every area is expertly prepared and implemented for high-quality performance.
An outdoor putting green lasts 5 to 15 years when it is maintained with discipline and care. Regular cleaning, mowing, and proactive upkeep extend its durability, and professional maintenance further ensures that the green remains in peak condition. This longevity enhances your outdoor recreational space, providing a reliable setting that elevates your game over many seasons.
