Custom Backyard Putting Greens
Calabasas & the Greater LA Area
Your Backyard, Your Golf Oasis
For golfers in Calabasas and Hidden Hills, the dream of practicing at home doesn’t have to stay a dream. A custom residential putting green gives you a tour-quality practice surface in your own backyard — no tee time, no drive, no excuses for not working on your short game.
At Marbia Landscape Design, we build custom putting greens that are contoured, fast, and built to last — integrated seamlessly into your existing outdoor design so they look like they belong there.
What Goes Into a Premium Putting Green
Not all putting greens are created equal. The difference between a flat mat thrown on bare ground and a properly constructed artificial putting green is everything — in feel, speed, drainage, and longevity.
Every Marbia putting green includes:
Excavation & Base
We install a compacted aggregate base with precise drainage engineering to keep your green flat, fast, and free-draining for years.
Contour Design
We design multi-slope contours that create real putting challenges—subtle breaks and tiered levels that genuinely help improve your game.
Premium Fringe Turf
Just like a real course, we use a longer-pile turf for the fringe surrounding your green, providing a professional and aesthetic finish.
Bunkers & Chipping
For serious golfers, we can integrate practice bunkers and chipping areas into the design for a complete short-game practice facility.
Cups & Accessories
Proper putting cups, flag sticks, and ball return ramps are placed strategically to match your specific contour design and practice needs.
Putting Greens That Integrate With Your Landscape
A putting green doesn’t have to be a utilitarian rectangle dropped into a corner of your yard. We design putting greens as landscape features — with natural-looking organic shapes, planted borders, boulder accents, and lighting that makes them beautiful to look at even when you’re not putting.
Frequently Asked Questions
About Putting Greens
How fast are artificial putting greens?
Properly constructed artificial putting greens with the right infill typically play at 10–12 on the Stimpmeter — comparable to a well-maintained public course green. Speed can be adjusted with infill type and pile height selection.
How much space do I need for a putting green?
We've built excellent practice greens in spaces as small as 400 square feet, though 800–1,500 square feet allows for meaningful contour variation and multiple cup positions. We'll assess your available space and design accordingly.
How much does a backyard putting green cost?
Custom putting greens in the LA area typically range from $15,000–$45,000 depending on size, complexity, and added features. We provide detailed quotes after a site visit.
Does artificial putting green turf hold up in Southern California sun?
Yes. We use UV-stabilized turf products specifically rated for high-sun environments. Color, texture, and performance are maintained for 10–15 years with basic care.
