Ask any real golf enthusiast if they would like their own putting green in the backyard, and get ready to see their eyes light up. Putting greens have been a growing trend amongst homeowners in the recent years. It brings the great game of golf home, and it can make a dead space into a useful one.
We spoke to someone over at Jacks Turf to find out more about this trend, and they confirmed that it is one of their most sought after products to be installed. There is something about having your very own putting green to practice on, especially when heading out to the golf course isn't always possible.
Since the turf used for these putting greens is artificial, you also have next to no maintenance to worry about once it's installed. The turf will give the golf ball a true roll, so that way the stroke that you practice with on your putting green will be the same stroke you use on the course. If this is something that sounds interesting to you, we invite you to take a look around Jacks Turf website and get an estimate for your home.

The debate between using natural and artificial grass is ongoing, but I will be the first to admit that I have grown partial to going artificial. Why? Simply put, the benefits with artificial turf are far greater with the natural stuff.
Look at these two photos and then ask yourself, which one is artificial?
The answer is, the one on the left is not real grass. So other than the turf looking just as natural as, well the natural grass, what other benefits can we name? We asked the folks over at Jack's Turf a couple of questions on why homeowners should tear out their sod and go with their artificial turf.
The first benefit mentioned is water conservation. For those of you in California, then you know that saving the water supply is crucial right now. The average square footage of grass per house is around 750 square feet, and by replacing that space with artificial turf you can save about 56,000 gallons of water per year. Now think about how much money you will save every year by not using that water.
Still not quite convinced? Then think about all the time spent on maintenance. Who really likes getting up on Saturday morning to do chores? Not me, thats for sure. By going with artificial turf you cut out all of the work of mowing, re-seeding, and fertilizing your lawn. Instead you can sleep in and enjoy your weekend again.
If your in the Southern California area, contact Jack's Turf for a free estimate on replacing your yard with artificial turf.
