Putting Green Bases

A backyard putting green rides on the groundwork under the turf. We pour the concrete borders, cart paths, and surrounds that frame the green and keep it flat and draining, so the turf sits right and lasts.

A base that drains

Turf over a soft or wet base gets spongy and uneven. We build a clean, compacted, well-drained base and pour the concrete edging and paths that hold the green shape and keep water moving off it.

Framed into the yard

We pour the surrounds, a curving cart path, or a patio beside the green and finish the concrete to match, so the putting green reads as part of the landscape instead of a drop-in.

What this service covers

• Concrete green borders
• Curving cart paths
• Compacted, drained base
• Surrounding patio concrete
• Edge and mow strips
• Turf-ready groundwork

Built for the Front Range

Concrete behaves differently at altitude. Our expansive clay soils swell with moisture and shrink when they dry, and the freeze and thaw cycle works on any surface that takes on water. Every putting green bases project we pour accounts for both, from base preparation and drainage to air-entrained mixes, proper reinforcement, and control joints cut on time. That is how the work holds its shape and finish through Colorado winters instead of failing by spring.

You also get a written estimate before anything starts, a structural engineer on staff for the jobs that need one, and a crew that pulls and manages permits when the project calls for them. Licensed, bonded, and insured, with finishes that range from a clean broom texture to stamped, colored, and sealed.

What shapes your Putting Green Bases project

Outdoor concrete has to look good and do real structural work at the same time. Here is what shapes a Putting Green Bases project.

• Size and height. Footprint drives most jobs; for walls, height drives the engineering, since taller structures hold back far more soil and water.
• Engineering and drainage. Retaining structures and water features need reinforcement and, above all, drainage. Water with nowhere to go is what topples walls and cracks shells.
• Base and footings. A compacted base and frost-depth footings keep the work from heaving and settling through the seasons.
• Finish and integration. Texture, color, and how the work ties into surrounding patios and grade all affect both the look and the labor.
• Site access. Backyard and sloped sites are harder to reach and to grade, which factors into the work.

Caring for your concrete

Drainage is what keeps putting green bases sound, so keep weeps and drains clear and watch that water continues to move away from the structure. Sealing exposed surfaces and clearing snow promptly protect the finish through the freeze and thaw. And whatever the project, the same rule applies across the Front Range: keep water from sitting on or soaking into the surface, and the concrete will reward you with decades of service.
