This completed backyard project in Woodinville, Washington transformed a previously underutilized space into a highly functional, year-round outdoor feature.
The homeowner wanted to convert a low-function section of the yard into something interactive, clean, and easy to maintain. After a detailed design consultation, the vision came together: a professionally installed backyard putting green integrated seamlessly with the existing hardscape.
The result is a clean, modern putting green that now serves as a focal point of the yard.
The Original Challenge
Before construction began, this portion of the backyard had limited usability. The area was:
- Underused and visually disconnected from the main patio
- Slightly uneven in grade
- Surrounded by trees that limited layout flexibility
- Subject to typical Pacific Northwest moisture conditions
In Woodinville, proper base preparation and drainage are critical for any synthetic turf installation. Without it, settling and surface inconsistencies can develop over time.
This project required thoughtful planning and precision installation to ensure long-term performance.
Scope of Work
This Woodinville project included:
243 Square Feet – Custom Putting Green Installation
Backed by a 17-Year Workmanship Warranty
Our installation process included:
- Excavation of approximately 4 inches of material
- Import and installation of 5/8” crushed rock base (3.5”–4” depth)
- Thorough compaction and re-grading for uniformity
- Geotextile fabric installation
- SB-BirdiePutt putting surface installation
- Secure fastening using 6” Rust-In-Lock spikes
- Zeolite infill for performance and drainage
Additional Synthetic Turf Areas – 150 Square Feet
We also installed:
- SB-CleanPet turf
- SB-TriNative turf
Both turf products carry a 15-Year Product Warranty and were selected for durability, natural appearance, and low maintenance performance.
Finishing Details
- Four 4.5” premium putting cups
- 6” x 8” putting green flags
- Chateau Block Edging (Charcoal blend) installed in a concrete bond beam
The charcoal Chateau edging creates a clean separation between turf zones and ties into the surrounding hardscape for a cohesive look.
Why Proper Base Preparation Matters in Woodinville
Synthetic turf performance starts below the surface.
In areas like Woodinville, where moisture is consistent throughout much of the year, base depth, compaction, and drainage determine how well a putting green holds up long-term.
Without proper preparation, homeowners may experience:
- Surface waviness
- Base settling
- Poor drainage
- Reduced turf lifespan
By excavating to proper depth, installing crushed rock base, compacting thoroughly, and finishing with geotextile and infill, this putting green was built for long-term stability and performance.
That’s why we confidently stand behind our synthetic turf installations with a 17-Year Workmanship Warranty.
The Transformation
What was once a low-function backyard section is now:
- A highly used recreational feature
- A clean, low-maintenance entertainment space
- A visually structured focal point
- A year-round usable outdoor upgrade
The putting green integrates naturally with the surrounding patio and retaining wall elements, creating a layered outdoor living environment that feels intentional and complete.
Since completion, this area has become one of the most used spaces in the backyard.
The homeowner is also exploring potential tree removal in adjacent areas to possibly expand the putting green in the future — a clear sign of how successful this transformation has been.
