All golfers know that practice is key when it comes to mastering your short game - crucial to lowering your score! But who has the time or the inclination to head to the course every time they want to get a quick practice session in?
Once only available to the super-rich - or those with acres of space - an at-home putting green can be a practical (and now affordable!) way to keep in the swing of things at home, and with the very latest artificial lawn technology at our disposal, including our Turnberry artificial putting surface, you won’t even need to employ a greenkeeper.
With over 25 years experience in the golf and greenkeeping industry, your at-home putting green project could not be in safer hands. From design through to completion, our friendly, expert team can install a stunning, low-maintenance green at home, so that you can practice whenever you like.
Create your ideal outdoor practice ground for both long and short range putting skills – with
custom bunker design, contours and tiered greens, we built your course around your skills and
preferences. Our synthetic putting courses are suitable for all weather types and deliver a high
quality finish that looks, feels and plays as good as real grass.
We’ve put together the answers of some of our customers’ most frequently asked questions about our putting green installations, installation and maintenance.
Putting green grass is a short, close-knit artificial grass that simulates the texture and feel of a real golf green. Our artificial at-home putting greens offer you the most realistic playing conditions possible, absorbing the energy of the ball and allowing natural ball roll to mimic natural play.
Plus, you won’t have to worry about over or under watering, applying chemicals to combat infestations or infections, or the ‘grass’ growing any higher than the day it was installed!
Costs for an at-home putting green are going to vary depending on the shape and size of your space, and the complexity of your design, but as a rule a figure of approximately £120per m2 should be considered, this is a basic cost then added features such as quantity of fringe, bunkers etc.
Our years of knowledge and experience in both the worlds of golf and artificial lawns tell us that polypropylene artificial grass is the best, for both shots in the green and for consistent putting speed.
We think one that offers you as many playing scenarios as possible! Uphill, downhill, fringe shots...even bunker shots can all be possible in your garden with a design from Lookreal Lawns.
Once you’ve approved the design that we’ve made with your exact specifications in mind, we’ll start by removing any existing vegetation from the area and laying a strong ground membrane to prevent any weed growth and to improve stability.
A stone layer is applied to complete the base and shape the green, and then a layer of grano dust is screened over to give you a smooth flowing surface. The artificial grass is then fitted, holes cut, and rolled ready to play!
This method will provide a long-lasting green that simulates real game play, as opposed to cheaper versions that just involve laying artificial grass onto a flat area of your garden.
With a good cleaning and maintenance schedule, your artificial putting green can last well over the 10-12 year life span advised by manufacturers - your game has to improve in that time, surely!
We’re glad you asked! Look Real Lawns offer a twice a year visit to deep clean and roll the surface of your green to ensure that your game continues to improve!
You can do your bit to keep your artificial putting green in tip-top condition by regularly checking the edges for weeds, and removing debris such as leaves and animal droppings with a blower or brush.

“I am very happy with the back garden decking and putting area that Look real lawns built for me. We agreed the design together to maximise the use of my small back garden. The work was then carried out to a high standard over 2 days at the agreed all in price. I would highly recommend Andrew if you want a putting green at home! Jin”
“We researched a number of companies and options and we are pleased to say the local company came out ahead. Our understanding Andrew started out as a greenkeeper ( his dad was a pro at a local golf club), so his knowledge and training really comes to the fore when designing and discussing options. My garden allowed for 5 holes with a chipping fringe. His work is first class and is completed, not only with professionalism but more importantly passion… what you get is 100% Andrew. Andrew love your work and fully recommend you to all your potential customers
Very professional, high quality grass and workmanship. Would definitely recommend
Excellent service, top quality product, a pleasure to do business with a reliable company. Outstanding thanks Andrew.
Had my artificial lawn laid by Look real lawns a couple of years back. The lawn still looks as good as new. It’s great for pets and kids, no more mud being traipsed through the house and it looks good all year round. Maintenance is virtually zero, just needs a brush maybe twice a year. Leaves can simply be blown away. The lawn can also be striped with some creative brushing. Always punctual and the work was all carried out within the timescale quoted. I can highly recommend look real lawns and would never go back to real grass again.
Look Real Lawns have transformed my garden in a matter of 3 days! I couldn’t have wished for a better company to fit the artificial grass. Everything ran smoothly and to plan. No mess, no bother just a good quality professionally laid lawn. I was recommended this company and I would definitely recommend them to anyone considering artificial grass. Thank you!
