Will a properly built rock base shift, move, or become untrue over time? No. |
|
Can an average homeowner and do-it-yourself-er manage to construct a base that will weigh about 40 to 90 tons? Maybe, we will discount for those who will do their own site preparation; excavate, and load in gravel.
|
|
What are the proper grades of a green to get a ball to roll legitimately, and at what speed? We do not disclose this information, but it’s important for the contractor to know. |
|
What allows the cups and putting surface to drain if it rains? Proper construction, the length of turf, the in-fill material, and the base. |
|
What difference does the type of turf make? All the difference. Looks, playability, and longevity. Our greens sell themselves. |
|
Can any type of turf be seamed so that I can get the size and shape I want? The correct type of turf, together with proper seaming technique, will ensure invisible seams for any size or shape of green desired. |
|
What difference does the pile height of the turf make? Huge difference for practice greens. We cannot stress this enough. The density, material components, and number of tufts per square inch all combine to create either a green to be proud of, or one you'd like to hide; a green you can get better by practicing on, or just something in your yard. Pile height is also a contributing factor to good seaming. |
|
When do seaming mistakes become evident? After all the finish work is done.
|
|
Is it possible to fix a seaming mistake? Yes. By starting over. Painful experience. |
|
Is the color of Advantage Golf Greens natural grass, "Lime green", "Christmas green", or something else? Our turfs are specially manufactured for us, for golf green and lawn applications, and they are the color of natural grass when finished. |
|
What size are your cups, 6" regulation, or 4" practice? Advantage Golf Greens uses 6-inch, regulation cups and there is never standing water in them, even after a heavy deluge. |
|
Will my final cup inset look like a golf course? Yes, and Advantage Golf Greens cups set closely simulates the look of a professionally set golf course cup.
|
|
Will my green accept full pitches and iron shots? An Advantage Golf Green will accept any kind of shot, and hold it.
|
|
Do Advantage Golf Greens have a rubberized in-fill for 'cushioning'? Absolutely not. There is no advantage to a rubberized in-fill for a golf or lawn application. Therefore, our customers do not have rubber bits tracked into their house after putting on their green, or playing on the lawn. We also found that rubber floats to the top of synthetic turf and eventually becomes a big sludge mess. |
|
Can I get a true spin on the ball? Yes. True spin on the ball is one of the major advantages of our practice greens.
|
|
What sort of backing does the turf have and will it mildew? 99.9% of our customers choose a turf product with a double urethane industrial cloth backing that is hot rubber coated during the manufacturing process so no rot or mildew is possible. Upon occasion we use foam-back turf, under covered or indoor areas.
|
|
What sort of warranty comes with this turf? A full 7-year manufacturer's warranty against fading and degradation.
|
|
What keeps my green rolling true like a golf course green? The original, proper construction. If necessary, we can provide maintenance.
|
|
How long does it take a top notch, experienced pro to build a green? It varies, usually around a week to 10 days.
|
|
Will my green need additional top dressing or in-fill material, and will it wear out from use? Our “bent tip” finishing process eliminates ball marks and sand shifting due to foot traffic or anything that might otherwise cause top dressing movement. The more foot traffic, the better.
|
|
Are sub-contractors involved? If so, on what parts of the project and why? Depends on the project. Occasionally for excavation and/or additional landscaping, but never for shaping and finishing the practice green or lawn.

What can I do to be sure I’m choosing the right company to build my synthetic lawn or golf green? Go see their work. Take the time, it will pay off. There is a huge difference in the quality of installs you’ll see, then you can pick which one suits your needs and budget. |
|
“My landscaper says he can install my synthetic turf himself. Is this a good idea?” Think of it this way: Would you want your fence contractor to install your swimming pool? Probably not. Working with synthetic turf is a specialized field. Again, we encourage you to “see before you buy”, up-close and in person because photos do not tell the full story. |
|
I’m thinking of hiring a company that claims they are the manufacturer. This seems like a good way to go. Is it? Ask for a tour of this manufacturing plant. Chances are, if someone claims their turf product is made here, it comes from China and not USA. Side note: AGG products are made 100% in the USA. |

Frequently Asked Questions about synthetic turf |
|
Will I be able to chip to my green? You can pitch to an Advantage Golf Green. |
|
How about longer pitches? An Advantage Golf Green will hold a shot from as far away as you can get off a shot without breaking any windows, just like a natural grass golf green. This enables golfers to practice establishing spin on their shot, or maybe get rid of some spin. |
|
What’s best, a concrete or crushed rock base for my green? Most of the turf styles we use work best with a crushed rock base, for flexibility in shaping contours, drainage, and stability. |
|
Why do certain types of turf require a concrete base? Some types of turf must be glued down because they are not heavy enough to remain in place, therefore requiring a concrete base. |
|
To build a rock base correctly; is it rock only, or are there other materials required? There are other materials necessary and we do not disclose what those materials are. |
