Our Albuquerque, NM Artificial Turf Installation Process
THE MASTER OF INSTALLATION TECHNOLOGY
Since 1996, Southwest Greens has been leading the way for synthetic grass installation across the United States. Over more than 6,000 greens completed worldwide. More than 24+ top tour professionals have our artificial turf in their private greens. That kind of history of success doesn't happen by chance. It happens through a system that's been improved, proven, and perfected at every step.
BUILT IN THE USA
Our artificial grass is manufactured right here in America by Shaw Industries, a Berkshire Hathaway company. That means every piece of lawn turf grass that goes into your build has the support of one of the most respected companies in surface technology — alongside the skilled workmanship of your local Southwest Greens team in Albuquerque. Shaw's R&D team has developed innovations like Bolt™ fiber technology and HydroChill® evaporative cooling, so the artificial turf you're getting isn't just durable — it's truly comfortable to play on, even on sunny afternoons.
CERTIFIED INSTALLERS, EVERY TIME
Every Southwest Greens representative in Albuquerque is trained and certified through our Pro System — a comprehensive certification program built around the top benchmarks in the artificial turf field. This isn't just an easy piece of paper. It's how we ensure that your synthetic grass installation is completed properly the first time, with the product knowledge and technical skill to justify every choice made in the field. No other provider offers that level of installation consistency and quality.
LAYER BY LAYER, IT ALL COMES TOGETHER
Once the base is completed, we install a standard ¼-inch cushion pad designed to support true ball roll and absorb the impact of shots. From there, our 1⅛-inch polypropylene artificial grass goes down — engineered to replicate the color, feel, and response of traditional live grass greens. The turf is then stabilized with premium silica sand, giving it the authentic feel underfoot that distinguishes a great outdoor putting green from one that just seems realistic.
6,000+ GREENS, ONE STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE
Whether you're adding a backyard putting green to refine your putting skills or commissioning a full artificial turf installation for a pro facility, the technique is the same: meticulous, certified, and made to last. Southwest Greens doesn't do one-size-fits-all. Every inch of artificial grass we install shows the precision we've spent nearly 30 years perfecting.
THE FINISHING TOUCHES THAT MAKE IT YOURS
Zero turf designs are the same — and that’s exactly the point. Once the base layers are complete, we roll the tops to replicate the playability of a bent grass green. From there, the design possibilities open up.
Fringe options in the primary and secondary cut, tee lines, sand traps, bunkers, fairways, roughs — whatever your design calls for, we can do it. Your outdoor putting green should feel like it was made for your space, your skill level, and your objectives. That's exactly what we create.
