When you picture your dream yard, do you see yourself sinking putts in your own backyard putting green, or do you envision sweeping, evergreen turf underfoot? At Lone Star Synthetic Turf, we know that choosing between a putting green and an artificial lawn is about lifestyle, aesthetics, and how you want to enjoy your outdoor space.

What’s the Difference?

A backyard putting green is engineered for a smooth, realistic ball roll, just like the pros use. Its turf fibers tend to be shorter, firmer, and more uniform for consistent turf grass performance.

An artificial lawn uses softer, longer, fibers that feel more like natural grass. Perfect for lounging, playing, or creating that lush, green appeal in your yard.

Maintenance: What to Expect

Maintaining a putting green means occasional cleaning and infill care, but no mowing or watering. It stays playable year-round. Artificial lawns? Even simpler: occasional leaf-blowing, rinsing, and light brushing keep them looking sharp. 

Aesthetic Appeal and Function

If golf is your go-to hobby or you want a functional centerpiece for your yard, a putting green is functional art. But if your goal is a pet-safe, family-friendly, always-green landscape, an artificial lawn delivers all-season beauty with minimal upkeep.
