Our Detroit and all of Michigan, MI Artificial Turf Installation Process
THE MASTER OF INSTALLATION TECHNOLOGY
Since 1996, Southwest Greens has been raising the standard for synthetic grass installation across the nation. Over 6000+ greens constructed worldwide. More than two dozen top PGA Tour pros have our artificial turf in their private greens. That kind of track record doesn't happen by luck. It happens through a system that's been refined, tested, and perfected at every phase.
BUILT IN THE USA
Our artificial grass is made right here in America by Shaw Industries, a Berkshire Hathaway company. That means every section of lawn turf grass that goes into your installation has the confidence of one of the most respected companies in surface technology — alongside the expert installation of local Southwest Greens professionals in Detroit and all of Michigan. Shaw's R&D team has engineered innovations like Bolt™ fiber technology and HydroChill® evaporative cooling, so the synthetic turf you're receiving isn't just durable — it's truly comfortable to practice on, even on warm days.
CERTIFIED INSTALLERS, EVERY TIME
Every Southwest Greens professional in Detroit and all of Michigan is certified and trained through our Pro System — a comprehensive certification system built around the top benchmarks in the artificial turf field. This isn't just a box we check. It's how we ensure that your synthetic grass installation is done right the first time, with the product knowledge and technical skill 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
When the base is completed, we install at least ¼-inch cushion pad designed to support true ball roll and soften the impact of your shot. From there, our 1⅛-inch polypropylene artificial grass is installed — designed to recreate the appearance, softness, and performance of traditional live grass greens. The turf is then infilled with coated silica sand, giving it the natural feel when walking that distinguishes a professional-grade outdoor putting green from one that just has the looks.
6,000+ GREENS, ONE STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE
Whether you're building a backyard putting green to refine your short game or developing a full artificial turf installation for a pro facility, the approach is the same: exact, certified, and built to last. We doesn't do one-size-fits-all. Every inch of artificial grass we install demonstrates the expertise we've spent nearly 30 years refining.
THE FINISHING TOUCHES THAT MAKE IT YOURS
Zero turf designs share the same layout — and that’s exactly the point. Once the base layers are installed, we roll the tops to replicate the performance of a bent grass green. From there, the custom features expand.
Fringe cuts in the primary and secondary cut, tee lines, sand traps, bunkers, fairways, roughs — whatever your layout calls for, we can do it. Your outdoor putting green should perform like it was made for you, your skill level, and your goals. That's exactly what we deliver.
