Artificial turf in Colonial, Fort Worth.

The Colonial neighborhood and the course that defines it.

Colonial wraps around one of the most historic golf courses in American sport. Colonial Country Club has hosted the PGA Tour since 1946. Ben Hogan won here five times. The Charles Schwab Challenge brings the tour back every May.

The neighborhood carries that legacy. Homes sit on generous lots, many with a view of the course or a short walk from the clubhouse. Neighbors know each other by first name and care deeply about how their property looks from the fairway side of the fence.

When we install turf here, the bar is high. A Colonial yard is judged against the course across the street.

What Colonial homeowners install.

• Backyard putting greens — custom contours, real stimp speed, and fringe work that plays honest. Most Colonial greens are spec'd by serious golfers who want to practice at home without driving to a range.
• Premium residential turf — whole-yard installs tuned to the Colonial aesthetic. Tight cut, consistent color, no patches. The look homeowners expect when they paid for the address.
• Entertainment yards — turf laid around pools, outdoor kitchens, and sitting areas. Year-round green without irrigation cycles or mud.
• Chipping areas and short-game zones — for players who want to practice pitch shots and bunker work without leaving the house.

Tour-grade greens at home.

We've installed more than a hundred putting greens across DFW. Colonial clients tend to be the most technically specific. They know stimp speed. They know what a good break looks like. They've played enough rounds to know when fringe height is off by half an inch.

We tune each green to what you ask for — mild undulation or aggressive contour, single cup or multi-hole routing, fringe mowed tight or left natural. The surface is Tour 150 nylon or Tour 120 depending on stimp target. Base is laser-graded to drainage spec so water never pools in low points.

If you're serious about the install, we'll walk the space with you and sketch a routing that fits the lot, the view, and how you actually want to use it. Then we build it to that spec.

Base prep and drainage on Fort Worth urban lots.

Colonial sits on mixed Tarrant County soil — not as heavy as Parker County clay, but still prone to compaction and standing water if the base isn't right. Most older homes in the neighborhood also carry decades of fill, root debris, and irrigation adjustments.

We strip to stable subgrade, then lay 3-4 inches of decomposed granite or crushed stone depending on drainage needs. Compacted in two lifts to 95% Standard Proctor. Laser-graded to a 1-2% slope with French drain integration where the topography requires it. Commercial weed barrier on top before turf roll-out.

Done right, the surface looks the same in July and December. For the full technical breakdown, see our guide to base prep and drainage on North Texas clay.

Premium finish for a premium address.

Colonial homeowners expect contractor work to match the investment already in the home. That means clean transitions at paver edges, no visible seams in turf panels, drainage solutions that disappear into the landscape, and finish work that looks intentional.

We're a small family-owned installer. We don't run six crews at once or subcontract the base work. Colin runs every job start-to-finish. That's how we maintain the quality standard Colonial expects.
