Greens Built to Roll
A true-rolling surface starts with a compacted base and mapped drainage, not just synthetic turf laid on flat ground.
What Goes Wrong
A poorly compacted sub-base settles unevenly over time, creating dead spots and inconsistent ball roll across the surface.
The aggregate layer is compacted to a uniform spec and graded to the designed contours before any turf is laid.
Clay-heavy soils common in San Diego neighborhoods trap water beneath the turf, softening the base and shortening its lifespan.
Excavation depth and aggregate thickness are set after mapping your yard’s natural drainage paths during the site assessment.
Cup anchors set into loose infill rather than the sub-base shift with foot traffic, making consistent putting lines impossible.
Cup sleeves are anchored directly into the compacted sub-base before turf is laid, locking their position permanently.
Incorrect infill depth or material leaves the pile too soft or too firm, changing ball speed unpredictably across the green.
Infill material, silica sand or a sand-rubber blend, and pile height are stated in the written estimate and brushed in to spec.
Why Choose Us
Every job starts with a written scope and ends with a checked surface, no guesswork at either end.
A local court builder visits your yard to assess base condition and drainage before a single number is put in writing.
Every estimate lists excavation depth, infill spec, turf pile height, and cup count, nothing is left as a verbal agreement.
You receive a written base-condition report from the site visit, so the scope is grounded in what your yard actually needs.
Surface roll, drainage slope, cup depth, and edge finish are all checked at handover before the job is signed off.
We arrange local court builders across California, so your project is handled by someone who knows San Diego’s soil conditions.
The Process
01
Tell us your yard dimensions and goals, and we’ll arrange a local court builder to schedule an on-site assessment.
02
After the site visit, you get an itemised estimate covering excavation, sub-base spec, infill, turf, and cup positions.
03
The green is built to the agreed spec, then checked for surface roll, drainage slope, and edge finish before handover.
