Is artificial grass safe for kids and pets?

Yes. Our turf is non-toxic, lead-free, and designed for everyday use. It is soft, durable, and ideal for families with children or pets who want a cleaner, mud-free yard.

How long does artificial grass last in Toronto climate?

With proper installation and quality materials, our turf systems last 15 to 20 years, even with heavy use and Canadian weather conditions.

Does artificial grass drain properly?

Absolutely. We build a proper base with engineered drainage and use perforated backing so water flows through the turf and into the base, preventing puddles and mud.

Will artificial grass look fake up close?

No. Our European-crafted turf uses multi-tone fibres, micro-curled blades, and delustering technology to eliminate shine. Most homeowners are surprised by how natural it looks.

What kind of maintenance does artificial grass require?

No mowing, watering, or fertilizing. Occasional brushing and debris removal is all that is needed to keep your lawn looking fresh.

Can artificial grass handle heavy foot traffic?

Yes. Our turf systems are engineered for durability with reinforced backing, dense stitching, and resilient fibres that stay upright even in high-traffic areas.

Golf Green Design & Construction – Perfecting the Installation Process

Building a professional‑grade artificial golf green requires precision, engineering, and a deep understanding of how real greens perform. At Design Turf, we follow a proven installation process that ensures true ball roll, consistent speed, proper drainage, and long‑term durability — even through Toronto’s freeze‑thaw cycles.

This page provides a detailed look at how we design, shape, and construct backyard putting greens using PG Augusta Pro and The Players systems.

🏗️ Step 1 — Base Construction

Every green begins with a compacted crushed‑stone base. This foundation determines the smoothness, speed, and consistency of the putting surface.

Excavation to proper depth
Installation of a multi‑layer aggregate base
Laser‑leveling for precision
Compaction to prevent settling

A perfectly built base ensures the green performs like a real course — smooth, fast, and predictable.

Why the Installation Process Matters

A putting green is only as good as the base beneath it. The turf itself provides the surface, but the engineering below determines ball roll, speed, drainage, and long‑term performance. Our installation process is designed to replicate the feel of natural bent‑grass greens while delivering year‑round consistency.

⛳ True ball roll starts with a perfectly graded base
🌧️ Proper drainage prevents pooling and freeze‑thaw damage
🏌️ Breaks and contours must be shaped into the base, not the turf
🛠️ Infill levels determine speed and shot response

💧 Step 2 — Drainage Engineering

Toronto’s climate demands a putting green that drains quickly after rain and snowmelt. Our greens use a permeable backing and a properly graded base to ensure water flows away from the surface.

Permeable turf backing
Engineered slope for runoff
Fast‑draining aggregate layers
Freeze‑thaw resistant construction

⛳ Step 3 — Shaping Breaks & Contours

Breaks, slopes, and subtle undulations are shaped into the base, not the turf. This ensures the green rolls true and maintains its performance for years.

Custom breaks for putting challenge
Gentle slopes for natural flow
Multi‑hole configurations
Chipping zones shaped into fringe areas

🏌️ Step 4 — Selecting the Putting Surface

We install two premium putting green systems, each engineered for a different style of play:

⛳ PG Augusta Pro — 10–11 stimp speed, light infill, ideal for suburban backyards
🏌️ The Players — 12–13 stimp speed, heavier infill, holds shots from 100 yards

Both systems deliver true roll, but each offers a different playing experience depending on your goals.

🌱 Step 5 — Fringe & Rough Integration

Fringe and rough turf complete the short‑game experience. We install premium fringe around the green to create realistic chipping zones and smooth transitions.
