Our San Francisco, CA Artificial Turf Installation Process
THE MASTER OF INSTALLATION TECHNOLOGY
Since 1996, Southwest Greens has been setting the bar for synthetic grass installation across the United States. Over six thousand greens completed worldwide. More than 24+ top professional golfers have our artificial turf in their home practice spaces. That kind of track record doesn't happen by chance. It happens through a methodology that's been optimized, validated, and mastered at every phase.
BUILT IN THE USA
Our artificial grass is produced right here in America by Shaw Industries, a Berkshire Hathaway company. That means every piece of lawn turf grass that goes into your build has the confidence of one of the most respected companies in turf innovation — paired with the expert installation of local Southwest Greens professionals in San Francisco. The Shaw R&D team has developed innovations like Bolt™ fiber technology and HydroChill® evaporative cooling, so the turf system you're getting isn't just long-lasting — it's genuinely comfortable to play on, even on warm days.
CERTIFIED INSTALLERS, EVERY TIME
Every Southwest Greens installer in San Francisco is trained and certified through our Pro System — a demanding certification process built around the top benchmarks in the artificial turf field. This isn't just a simple checkmark. It's how we guarantee that your synthetic grass installation is done right the first time, with the product knowledge and technical know-hwo to back up every decision made in the field. No other provider offers that level of certified quality and reliability.
LAYER BY LAYER, IT ALL COMES TOGETHER
After the base is set, we install a minimum ¼-inch pad designed to support natural ball roll and reduce the impact of shots. From there, our 1⅛-inch polypropylene artificial grass is laid down — engineered to mirror the appearance, softness, and performance of natural grass. The turf is then infilled with fine-coated silica sand, giving it the natural feel when walking that separates a high-quality outdoor putting green from one that just looks good.
6,000+ GREENS, ONE STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE
Whether you're adding a backyard putting green to refine your putting or commissioning a full artificial turf installation for a commercial property, the method is the same: precise, certified, and built to last. We doesn't do generic. Every inch of artificial grass we install shows the precision we've spent nearly three decades developing.
THE FINISHING TOUCHES THAT MAKE IT YOURS
No two turf designs are the same — and that's the point. Once the base layers are finished, we roll the putting layer to simulate the response of a bent grass green. From there, the options become available.
Fringe cuts 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 play like it was made for you, your skill level, and your objectives. That's exactly what we create.
