Our Oakley, CA Artificial Turf Installation Process
THE MASTER OF INSTALLATION TECHNOLOGY
Since 1996, Southwest Greens has been leading the way for synthetic grass installation across the nation. Over more than 6,000 greens completed worldwide. More than 24+ top tour professionals have our artificial turf in their home practice spaces. That kind of track record doesn't happen by accident. It happens through a system that's been refined, validated, and perfected at every stage.
BUILT IN THE USA
Our artificial grass is manufactured right here in the U.S. by Shaw Industries, a Berkshire Hathaway company. That means every roll of lawn turf grass that goes into your installation has the backing of one of the most respected companies in surface technology — combined with the hands-on craftsmanship of local Southwest Greens professionals in Oakley. Shaw's R&D team has introduced innovations like Bolt™ fiber technology and HydroChill® evaporative cooling, so the turf system you're receiving isn't just durable — it's designed for comfort to practice on, even on warm days.
CERTIFIED INSTALLERS, EVERY TIME
Every Southwest Greens professional in Oakley is certified and trained through our Pro System — a demanding certification program built around the highest standards in the artificial turf industry. This isn't just a simple checkmark. It's how we guarantee that your synthetic grass installation is completed properly the first time, with the product knowledge and installation expertise to justify every decision 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 at least quarter-inch cushion pad designed to promote consistent ball roll and reduce the impact of shots. From there, our 1⅛-inch polypropylene artificial grass is laid down — crafted to recreate the appearance, feel, and playability of traditional live grass greens. The turf is then infilled with coated silica sand, giving it the authentic feel during play that distinguishes a premium outdoor putting green from one that just seems realistic.
6,000+ GREENS, ONE STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE
Whether you're creating a backyard putting green to improve your putting or commissioning a full artificial turf installation for a professional facility, the approach is the same: exact, certified, and designed for to last. Southwest Greens doesn't do one-size-fits-all. Every inch of artificial grass we install demonstrates the expertise we've spent nearly thirty years developing.
THE FINISHING TOUCHES THAT MAKE IT YOURS
Zero Southwest Greens projects are identical — and that's the point. Once the base layers are complete, we roll the putting layer to match the playability of a bent grass green. From there, the design possibilities open up.
Fringe in the primary and secondary cut, tee lines, sand traps, bunkers, fairways, roughs — whatever your design calls for, we can build it. Your outdoor putting green should feel like it was made for your space, your playing style, and your goals. That's exactly what we provide.
