Install of the Month: OC Turf and Putting Greens
December 12, 2017
Artificial grass has been steadily growing in popularity with homeowners. We have seen an increase in turf being used on commercial properties.
OC Turf and Putting Greens recently installed a 3,500 square foot artificial grass putting green outside of The Irvine Company office. The installation includes a unique combination of True Putt, Pet Turf, and Diamond Pro Spring to achieve their desired look. TigerTurf True Putt is a high quality putting green that features PGA rated high green speeds, while Diamond Pro Spring synthetic turf features a dual shade of field and lime green grass blades paired with a brown thatch layer for that extra touch of realism. Pet Turf is extremely durable, made for high levels of traffic, and is equipped with proprietary turf backing where each grass blade is triple reinforced through tuft bind technology.
“The Irvine Company wanted to provide their employees with an activity they could enjoy on their break or after work,” David Vega, owner of OC Turf and Putting Greens, told us. “They had this beautiful open space that could really be transformed.” While installing this green, the OC Turf and Putting Greens crew had to be very cautious of the surrounding trees. “They care a lot about their trees so we worked with arborists to ensure the turf installation wouldn’t disturb them,” Vega said. “We worked hard to make sure the putting green complimented the trees instead of getting rid of them.”
Putting greens have been a hugely popular request for OC Turf and Putting Greens. “A lot of people install putting greens because they’re good practice for golfers, but they’re also family friendly. Anyone can play and spend time together, but it also makes any yard or commercial area look great.”
OC Turf and Putting Greens has been installing artificial grass all over Orange County since 2006. Other notable installations include The Festival of the Arts, as well as the federal building in Laguna Niguel. They have also won “Best Synthetic Grass Company in Laguna Niguel” two years running. “We put a lot of pride in our work and we are very customer oriented,” Vega said. “OC Turf and Putting Greens is the company that fixes issues right away and doesn’t cut corners.”
