Synthetic Grass for Sports: Putting Greens and Bocce Ball

If you’re looking for a landscaping alternative that’s as fun and practical as it is green and luscious, consider installing a putting green course or a bocce ball court! Both are great additions to large backyards as well as small and awkwardly shaped areas. Practicing your putting or bocce skills have never been easier!

Putting Greens

Putting greens are completely customizable for any skill level in any sized yard and terrain. Here at Artificial Turf by Fenix, we offer a 100% American-made golf course tailored to your vision. Whether you are the next prodigy golfer to come from Sacramento, or merely looking for a family-fun activity, you can easily have your own personal putting green right in your backyard. All of our putting green installations include aluminum cups, customizable flags, and fringe to bring in cohesion and realism. The only thing missing are the golf balls and clubs!

Bocce Ball

You can play one of the world’s oldest sports right in your backyard. Ever since the days of Ancient Rome, people have loved playing the relaxing game of bocce ball with friends and family. Although bocce ball courts are typically made of sand or concrete, artificial turf is becoming the more favorable option because it offers a clean and leveled surface to play on. The low-maintenance court has a long-lasting underlayer made of concrete and also features a drainage system to prevent flooding during the Sacramento rainy season!

How Well Does Artificial Turf Drain?

When it comes to artificial turf installations in the greater Sacramento area, a concern many customers have is how well can synthetic grass drain? Will the typical Northern California rainy season cause flooding on the lawn? The answer is artificial turf drains very quickly, and it would take an abnormal amount of heavy rain for the lawn to flood.

The drainage rate of an artificial grass lawn is actually superior to that of a natural lawn. Natural grass tends to become muddy when wet, trapping water and making a huge mess. Synthetic turf, on the other hand, allows liquids to flow straight through the backing. The quick drainage allows the synthetic grass to be dry almost immediately while your natural lawn might stay damp and muddy for days!

The synthetic grass blades are attached to a backing perforated with holes. These holes are about a ½ centimeter in diameter and allows the lawn to drain at a rate of about 30 inches per hour per square yard! Additionally, the turf drainage system prevents spores and bacteria from building up within the artificial turf and allows for an easy cleanup.

With the approaching rainy season in Sacramento County, you can fight back against an overwatered and dead lawn with a synthetic grass lawn installation! Artificial Turf by Fenix proudly installs artificial grass and hardscapes in all cities across the county, including Rocklin, Fairfield, Lodi, Granite Bay, and Auburn.
