My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Pros & cons of a backyard putting green

13 years ago
Replacing backyard grass with a putting green:

Would love to hear about do's and don'ts and pro's and con's

Also,
Is the artificial turf a cause for alarm as a heat island in the Austin heat ?

Can the border of the putting green be stones ?
