Our frequently asked questions page aims to answer all of your synthetic turf and backyard putting green installation, maintenance, playability and any other general synthetic putting green or turf questions that you may have.
How long does it take to install a synthetic golf green?
There are a lot of variables to take in to consideration when answering this question, undulations, contour, size, distance from where the materials are staged and where the golf green is being built. The rule of thumb is that for every person working, you should expect 100 square foot per day to be completed on a green larger than 500 square feet . Smaller than 500 square feet usually takes about 35% more time.
Which material makes a better putting green, polypropylene or nylon?
I would have to say that if you want to chip and putt on a surface that simulates a true bent grass green you should choose a polypropylene sand infill green. If you just want to putt, then the nylon will work well for you.
What is the difference between nylon and polypropylene putting greens.
Nylon is a lay down and play product. Meaning it is ready to putt on once you lay it down. It is a very user friendly product for the DIY's. On the down side, nylon retains moisture. expands and contracts, and it heats up about 20 percent more than Polypropylene. I recommend nylon for persons who are unable to afford a polypropylene sand infill green or are just looking to putt.
Polypropylene is a product that normally requires 6-8 lbs of sand per square foot. It is very difficult to install correctly and should only be installed by someone who has been properly trained. It allows full chip shots and the stemp can range from 9-14. It is normally for the avid golfer but can be also used to bring the backyard back to the family. One of the benefits of installing a polypropylene green is that is can be reconditioned every year to look new again. You can not do this with nylon.
