Our Tucson, AZ Artificial Turf Installation Process
THE MASTER OF INSTALLATION TECHNOLOGY
Since 1996, Southwest Greens has been setting the bar for synthetic grass installation across the nation. Over 6,000 greens installed worldwide. More than dozens of top professional golfers have our artificial turf in their private greens. That kind of history of success doesn't happen by luck. It happens through a process that's been improved, tested, and fine-tuned at every phase.
BUILT IN THE USA
Our artificial grass is made right here in the United States by Shaw Industries, a Berkshire Hathaway company. That means every section of lawn turf grass that goes into your installation has the support of one of the most trusted names in surface technology — combined with the skilled workmanship of regional Southwest Greens crew in Tucson. Shaw's R&D team has developed innovations like Bolt™ fiber technology and HydroChill® evaporative cooling, so the turf system you're getting isn't just built for longevity — it's genuinely comfortable to practice on, even on warm days.
CERTIFIED INSTALLERS, EVERY TIME
Every Southwest Greens representative in Tucson is trained and certified through our Pro System — a rigorous certification system built around the top benchmarks in the artificial turf industry. This isn't just an easy piece of paper. It's how we ensure that your synthetic grass installation is completed properly the first time, with the material understanding and installation expertise to justify every choice made on-site. No other provider offers that level of certified quality and reliability.
LAYER BY LAYER, IT ALL COMES TOGETHER
Once the base is completed, we install a standard ¼-inch cushion pad designed to support consistent ball roll and absorb the impact of shots. From there, our 1⅛-inch polypropylene artificial grass goes down — crafted to mirror the appearance, feel, and response of traditional live grass greens. The turf is then stabilized with premium silica sand, giving it the authentic feel when walking that separates a high-quality outdoor putting green from one that just looks the part.
6,000+ GREENS, ONE STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE
Whether you're building a backyard putting green to improve your short game or commissioning a full artificial turf installation for a pro facility, the approach is the same: exact, certified, and designed for to last. We doesn't do generic. Every square foot of artificial grass we install demonstrates the expertise we've spent nearly thirty years refining.
THE FINISHING TOUCHES THAT MAKE IT YOURS
No two installations are the same — and that’s exactly the point. Once the base layers are complete, we roll the putting layer to simulate the performance of a bent grass green. From there, the custom features become available.
Fringe in the primary and secondary cut, tee lines, traps, bunkers, fairways, roughs — whatever your layout calls for, we can build it. Your outdoor putting green should play like it was made for your space, your game, and your vision. That's exactly what we create.
