Not every outdoor transformation has to be massive in scale to make a big impact. This recent backyard project is proof that with good design, even a smaller footprint can deliver serious lifestyle value. Designed and installed by our team at James River Nurseries, this custom three-hole putting green turned an underused lawn area into a year-round recreation space that’s as beautiful as it is functional.
Smart Design for Real Living
The homeowners wanted a space where they could relax, entertain, and improve their short game without leaving home. The solution? A low-maintenance synthetic turf putting green that feels natural, performs like real grass, and integrates seamlessly into the property.
Strategic design details give this compact layout big-time functionality:
- Three custom cup locations for variety and challenge
- Smooth contours and fringe work for realistic ball roll and play
- Durable synthetic turf for year-round performance
- Framed by natural stone and plantings for a polished finish
Blending Fun with Landscape Design
To keep the space feeling cohesive with the surrounding home and landscape, our team softened the green with ornamental grasses, foundation shrubs, and perennial color. The curve of the green naturally flows with the space, making it feel intentional rather than “added on.”
Low-maintenance and built to last, this putting green delivers recreation, backyard personality, and long-term value—all without sacrificing visual appeal.
Thinking about adding a putting green, sport court, or recreation feature to your backyard? Let’s talk. Our team designs custom outdoor spaces built around the way you live.
