A backyard putting green in Dallas-Fort Worth costs $14 to $20+ per square foot, fully installed. A typical 300 sq ft green comes to about $4,200 to $6,000 or more. That price covers the base, the putting turf, the cups, infill, seaming and tuning the speed before we leave.
That is more per foot than a turf lawn, which runs $8 to $13 per square foot. Putting turf is a different product, and a green that rolls true takes more grading and compaction than a lawn does.

Putting green prices by size (DFW, 2026)
These are typical installed totals worked out from our per-square-foot price. They are not quotes. For your exact price, we measure your yard and map the breaks at a free on-site design visit.
Smaller greens usually land toward the top of the range, since the base work and setup are spread over fewer square feet.

“Elias and his crew were a delight to work with. They installed a putting green in my backyard in one day that I'd been procrastinating on for over a year.”
What changes the price of a putting green
Two greens with the same square footage can land at different ends of the range. These are the things that move it:
- Size. A bigger green costs more in total, but often less per square foot.
- Cups and pin positions. Each cup adds a little labor. More pin positions give you more putts to practice.
- Contour and break. A flat green is the simplest build. Shaping real break into the base takes more time and more base material.
- Fringe and chipping areas. A collar of longer turf around the green lets you chip onto it, and it adds square footage.
- Base prep. North Texas clay, slopes and low spots that hold water need more digging, rock and compaction before the turf goes down.
- Extras. Paver borders and sand trap features are priced on their own.
- Access. A narrow side gate or a backyard that equipment cannot reach means more hand work.
Putting green turf vs regular turf
Regular backyard turf runs $8 to $13 per square foot installed (see artificial turf cost in Dallas-Fort Worth). A putting green runs $14 to $20+. The difference comes from three places:
- The turf. We use GF Power Putt Pro, a stiff, tight putting surface built for a true roll, instead of a lawn product cut short.
- The base. A green has to be graded and compacted far more precisely than a lawn, or the ball wanders.
- The finish work. Cups, tight seams and speed tuning with infill take time a lawn does not need.
DIY putting green kit vs professional installation
A kit costs less up front. Our DIY putting green guide puts the materials for a 300 sq ft green at roughly $1,500 to $3,000 before tool rentals, and you supply the labor.
Rolling out the turf is the easy part. The hard part is digging out the clay, building a compacted base that drains, and shaping break that rolls the way you expect. Get the base wrong and the only fix is pulling the turf back up.
For a flat practice mat on a patio, a kit is fine. For a green that rolls true and drains after a storm, that is the work we do.
