Backyard Putting Greens in Lake Oswego
Lake Oswego is where most of our custom green work happens, and the reason is partly the market and partly the trees. So much of the city sits under mature Douglas fir and cedar that a real putting surface was never an option in these yards; grass of any kind struggles, and bentgrass under that canopy is not a serious proposition. Nylon does not care. A green goes exactly where the shade is worst.
Typically $20 to $30 per square foot installed in Lake Oswego. Run your numbers.

What changes about backyard putting greens in Lake Oswego
The work here skews toward multi-cup layouts with genuine contouring, fringe collars, and a chipping approach, rather than a flat square of short turf. Several of the greens we have built in First Addition and Mountain Park are integrated with an existing patio or pool surround, which means the edge detail against the hardscape is as much of the job as the putting surface. Many neighbourhoods carry HOA design standards, and we are comfortable documenting specifications for board review.
How we build it here
Shade is the reason, not the obstacle
Mature conifers make real turfgrass impossible across much of Lake Oswego. A nylon putting surface performs identically in deep shade and full sun.
Contour, not a flat rectangle
The base is shaped before the surface goes down. Break and fall are built into the sub-base, which is why a green that was poured flat can never be made to read properly later.
Integration with existing hardscape
Greens here frequently abut a patio or pool deck. The transition detail is where a premium install visibly separates from a cheap one.
HOA documentation
We supply manufacturer specifications and physical samples so a board is reviewing a product rather than a description.
