She Surprised Her Husband With a Front Yard Putting Green — While He Was on a Golf Trip

She Surprised Her Husband With a Front Yard Putting Green — While He Was on a Golf Trip

Some projects are about turf.
Others are about timing, trust, and one hell of a surprise.

This one had all three.

📍 Redwood City | Front Yard Putting Green

The husband had been dreaming about a putting green in the front yard for months. He researched turf types, watched YouTube videos, and measured out rough shapes with his clubs.

But like a lot of people, he couldn’t quite pull the trigger.

“It’s not the right time.”
“Maybe next year.”
“Let me think on it.”

So his wife made a bold move:
She waited for him to leave on a golf trip… and called us.

⛳ Operation: Green Light

He left for the airport in the morning.
We rolled up 30 minutes later — tape measure in one hand, layout spray in the other.

She wanted it done before he got back, no exceptions.

This wasn’t just a turf install — it was a secret mission with a hard deadline.

🛠️ The Build

Here’s what we knocked out:

• Removed patchy natural lawn + prepped the base

• Graded the area for smooth ball roll and proper drainage

• Installed pro-level putting turf (not the shiny mini-golf stuff)

• Added a clean fringe border and sharp steel edging

• Positioned cups for different distances and break options

• Made sure the grain direction rolled true toward the house

By the time he landed at his destination, his front yard was already transformed.

🏠 The Reveal

When he pulled back into the driveway days later, clubs still in the trunk, he saw it:
His dream green. Done. Waiting. And 100% his.

His reaction?
Let’s just say there was a mix of disbelief, laughter, and pacing around the green with a putter in hand like a kid on Christmas morning.

This Is Why We Do It

We don’t just build turf. We create moments.
And whether it’s a surprise gift or something you’ve been saving for — a putting green done right changes how you use your yard.

If you're thinking about one for yourself (or want to surprise someone else), we’ve got you.
