Thinking of putting in a putting green at home? You may have been looking through the Internet and scouring for people to help you put up your green. You may have also been dismayed at the overwhelming amount of information and contacts that you are coming up with. You may also be thinking of simply doing away with your putting green! Here's a comforting thought: you're not the only one experiencing the onslaught of information! In order for you to start work done, here are a few tips that might help you out.

First, distance plays a big role in determining prices, so you may want to scout for landscapers in your area and ask for quotes from them. When asking for quotes, it is important to know what you want, how much you want done, and what the dimensions are for your green and the available space that you have. Most of the putting green landscaping companies can offer you good quotes that will include prices of materials, charges on installations, and other fees that might have to do with your location. You may have to be extra-inquisitive with these companies before and after you get the quote so that you know what options are available to you.

Also, don't forget to ask for recommendations from friends and family who have already installed putting greens. Do they recommend certain grasses, certain layouts, or a certain company? Look for people who were happy because of their high returns on their initial investment. You may also want to talk to people at your local putting green: if you spot something nice about it, then ask for tips.

Don't be afraid to ask for samples of putting green turf! You can ask for samples from local manufacturers. You can also ask for a portfolio of these persons' works, and then visit the putting greens to see the finished product for yourself. True, you might want to stick to online pictures, but nothing beats seeing the finished product up close. You should also talk personally to people in the landscaping firm. Do they know what they are talking about? Are their products really worthwhile and do they really believe in them?

These are only a few tips that you may want to follow as you select who to provide your putting green. There are many options available online, but be sure to have a lot of options open so that you can have several choices in front of you.
