Our Naperville, IL 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 more than 6,000 greens installed worldwide. More than two dozen top professional golfers have our artificial turf in their private greens. That kind of track record doesn't happen by chance. It happens through a methodology that's been optimized, validated, and perfected at every stage.
BUILT IN THE USA
Our artificial grass is manufactured right here in the United States by Shaw Industries, a Berkshire Hathaway company. That means every piece of lawn turf grass that goes into your project has the confidence of one of the most respected companies in materials science — combined with the skilled workmanship of regional Southwest Greens crew in Naperville. Shaw's R&D team has introduced innovations like Bolt™ fiber technology and HydroChill® evaporative cooling, so the synthetic turf you're getting isn't just built for longevity — it's truly comfortable to play on, even on warm days.
CERTIFIED INSTALLERS, EVERY TIME
Every Southwest Greens installer in Naperville is trained and certified through our Pro System — a rigorous certification program built around the highest standards in the artificial turf field. This isn't just an easy piece of paper. It's how we ensure that your synthetic grass installation is executed flawlessly the first time, with the product knowledge and technical know-hwo to justify every detail made in the field. No other provider offers that level of structured quality assurance.
LAYER BY LAYER, IT ALL COMES TOGETHER
When the base is completed, we install a minimum ¼-inch cushion pad designed to support consistent ball roll and soften the impact of shots. From there, our 1⅛-inch polypropylene artificial grass is laid down — designed to recreate the color, texture, and performance of real grass. The turf is then packed with coated silica sand, giving it the realistic feel underfoot that distinguishes a professional-grade outdoor putting green from one that just looks good.
6,000+ GREENS, ONE STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE
Whether you're installing a backyard putting green to refine your putting skills or commissioning a full artificial turf installation for a professional facility, the approach is the same: precise, certified, and designed for to last. Southwest Greens doesn't do generic. Every sq ft of artificial grass we install demonstrates the precision we've spent nearly three decades perfecting.
THE FINISHING TOUCHES THAT MAKE IT YOURS
No two installations share the same layout — and that's the point. Once the base layers are installed, we roll the surface to match the performance of a bent grass green. From there, the design possibilities become available.
Fringe options in the first and second cut, tee lines, traps, bunkers, fairways, roughs — whatever your vision calls for, we can create it. Your outdoor putting green should play like it was made for you, your skill level, and your goals. That's exactly what we deliver.
