Frequently Asked Questions

Why Synthetic vs. Natural Greens?
The
cost of installing a natural putting green is expensive but not near
as expensive as maintaining one. The upkeep is much more costly.
Maintaining a real green requires the purchase of a precision mower,
pesticides, herbicides for diseases, fertilizers and so on. Then you
have to learn how to apply the correct amount of chemicals to
maintain a healthy green. We have heard from many golfers that have
real greens they spend more time maintaining their green than
practicing on it. Installing a real green can become overwhelming
for someone who just wants to practice his/her short game. Our
greens are very affordable and can meet any budget. Once our green
is installed it's virtually maintenance-free. All that is required
is debris removal such as leaves and twigs and this can be done with
a leaf blower.

Can I add contours and undulations to my
green?
Yes. You can create the
contours and undulations with the sub-base material. The crushed
stone is easy to manipulate and will give you the ability to create
any contour you need. The green adheres directly to the surface of
the sub-base and therefore adheres to the contours and undulations
you build in the sub-bases.

What is the difference between Evergreen’s
Turf and Putt-Putt turf?
Our turf is
specifically manufactured to simulate a golf course green. We
achieve this by filling the turf with infill. The infill serves two purposes. First, the
infill will control the speed of
the green. The more infill the faster, the less sand the slower.
Second, the infill helps to cushion and hold the ball when
chipping to the green. Evergreen synthetic turf when properly filled
with coal slag will provide an average stimp meter speed of 9 or 10.
With our turf and this infill filling process you will be able to
achieve the same true ball roll and characteristics as your favorite
course green.

Will this product hold an approach shot from
100 yards or more?
Absolutely! That
is why we use two products. We have both half-inch turf and
1-inch turf. The true ball roll and putting characteristics are the
same for both. The main reason we have the 1-inch turf is to hold
shots from a distance of 15 yards or more. If you are in an area
that will allow shots of 15 yards or more, you will want the 1-inch
turf. For those who just have the ability to chip 15 yards or less,
they will want the half-inch turf. Aside from depth, the difference
between the half-inch and 1-inch is the amount of coal slag needed.
The 1-inch requires twice as much coal slag for holding ability. The
more coal slag in the green the better it will hold your approach
shots.

Can the affects of mother nature harm the
green?
Our greens hold up in the
Nevada desert where temperatures reach 120 degrees and in North
Canada where temperatures dip below minus 10.Our turf is made from
polypropylene fiber which can withstand the damaging effects of
rain, snow, and the sun..
