Are Synthetic Putting Greens Safe and Eco-Friendly?

By Backyard Golf Team

Safety and sustainability are common questions. Here is what to ask before you choose a synthetic green.

Choosing a synthetic surface raises fair questions about safety and the environment. Here is what to look for.

Look for non-toxic, recyclable fibers

Quality turf is made from recyclable, non-toxic fibers, which makes it safe for families, pets and guests.

No watering, no chemicals

A synthetic green needs no watering, fertilizers or pesticides, which saves water and keeps your garden free of chemical treatments.

Longevity is sustainability

Turf that lasts for many years without fading or deforming means less replacement and less waste.

Ask for the details

Don't hesitate to ask any installer about the materials, the warranty and what happens to the turf at the end of its life.

Our approach

We use durable, quality materials and back every installation with a 10-year warranty covering quality, durability and color retention.
