For the Mathis family in Fort Mill, SC, the goal was to turn an underused, sloped portion of their backyard into a polished outdoor space designed for recreation, relaxation, and entertaining.

GreenWorx180 created a custom artificial turf putting green that worked with the existing landscape while addressing the property's elevation and access needs.

A Custom Putting Green Designed for the Property

The approximately 20-by-25-foot putting green features an 18-to-24-inch fringe, three cups, and individual cup lights. Before installation, the layout was sprayed on-site so the Mathis family could see and confirm the design.

Proper site preparation was equally important. The GreenWorx180 team completed excavation, drainage preparation, and installation of the sand and screenings base before installing the artificial turf.

For Fort Mill homeowners, drainage deserves careful consideration during landscape improvements. The Town of Fort Mill Stormwater Department explains how runoff moves through properties and into local waterways, making thoughtful grading and drainage an important part of outdoor projects.

Solving the Slope With Functional Hardscaping

A Retaining Wall That Adds More Than Support

To create a level playing surface, GreenWorx180 constructed a retaining and sitting wall along the sloped side of the putting green. Chocolate veneer and travertine complement the existing pool decking, helping the new feature feel connected to the rest of the backyard.

Steps and matching stepping pavers provide convenient access, while two existing shrubs were removed to improve the transition into the new space.

The project was completed with five sitting-wall lights, cup lighting, a 300-watt transformer, Wi-Fi smart socket, and Hunter Wi-Fi irrigation controller. These details make the space easier to enjoy and manage throughout the year.
