Transforming a Mountain Retreat with a Stunning Synthetic Grass Putting Green

Nestled in the picturesque foothills of Colorado, a mountain retreat offers breathtaking views, fresh air, and the promise of relaxation. For many homeowners, creating a lush and vibrant outdoor space can be a dream come true. Yet, in the unpredictable climate of Fort Collins, Colorado, achieving a lush green landscape can often seem more like a daunting task than an achievable delight. In the world of landscaping, a solution is emerging that combines both practicality and aesthetics: synthetic grass.

When one homeowner aspired to install a backyard putting green at their cabin, they turned to Fort Collins Turf to make this dream a reality. The need for a reliable and visually appealing solution stemmed from the harsh conditions of Colorado's weather that cause natural grass to wither under wind and drought. This is where synthetic turf shines.

Recently, Fort Collins Turf undertook the installation of a 405 square-foot putting green using top-quality materials from Synthetic Grass Warehouse. For this project, they utilized Everlast Poly Putt 2-Tone Dark, a highly durable synthetic grass. This specific product is engineered to provide optimal performance for both residential and commercial applications, specifically designed for putting surfaces. With its textured polyethylene construction, this turf boasts a weight of about 50 ounces and a height of 0.5 inches, ensuring that it satisfies even PGA-level golfing standards. Plus, it is resistant to heat and frost, making it vastly suitable for Colorado’s fluctuating temperatures. Its U.V. stabilizers mean it will maintain its color and integrity, providing an uninterrupted golfing experience for years to come.

Around the putting area, TigerTurf Everglade Fescue was installed, known for its realistic aesthetic qualities. This type of turf features a combination of field and olive green blades, with a tan-and-green thatch that mimics the look of natural grass. With a face weight of approximately 60 ounces and a pile height of 1.625 inches, this product is designed for durability, infused with omega fiber grass blades reinforced three times over. This not only enhances durability but also assures that the green looks vibrant and well-maintained.

An extra advantage of this installation is the advanced K29 Triple-Layered Non-Expansive Backing, which guarantees superior seam strength alongside a perforated backing to facilitate excellent drainage—essential for accommodating Colorado's heavy rains and the spring thaw.

Brandon Claussen, owner of Fort Collins Turf, shared insights about the homeowner's original intentions: “The customer had battled with natural grass for years, and ultimately, it couldn't survive due to the harsh winds and weather conditions. They longed for a putting green where they could enjoy quality time with their grandchildren.” Claussen noted that after years of dreaming, the client was ecstatic to see it finally come to fruition.

While the location posed a challenge—being situated in a remote area behind Horsetooth Rock—Fort Collins Turf's experienced crew adeptly navigated the logistics. Upon successful delivery of materials, the installation went off without a hitch, transforming what was once just bare dirt into a family-friendly oasis ideal for making memories in the beautiful Colorado landscape.

For Fort Collins Turf, this project represents a commitment to quality and aesthetics. As a branch of East Valley Turf, which has been operating successfully in Arizona for nearly a decade, they have dedicated their services in Colorado to providing residents with the top-notch synthetic grass that brings life to their outdoor spaces. Claussen emphasizes, “SGW has the best turf in the industry, it withstands whatever Mother Nature wants to throw at it.” This commitment to quality has helped them earn the title of Install of the Month Winner from Synthetic Grass Warehouse for March 2026.

As they celebrate their second year in business, Fort Collins Turf continues to focus on delivering high-quality synthetic turf solutions at accessible prices for Colorado families. Their mission is to enhance outdoor living experiences, ensuring enjoyment of the beautiful, green spaces long after the warranty has expired.
