Residential Synthetic Turf & Backyard Putting Greens in Albuquerque
Create green, usable outdoor space without the mowing and routine irrigation required by a traditional lawn.
LaBarge Landscape installs residential synthetic lawns and putting greens using products selected for the property and intended use.
Residential Applications
Synthetic turf may be considered for:
- Front or backyard lawns
- Children’s play areas
- Pet-use areas
- Courtyards
- Narrow lawn spaces
- High-traffic areas
- Backyard putting greens

Low Maintenance—not No Maintenance
Artificial turf does not require mowing or irrigation for grass growth, but it may need:
- Debris removal
- Brushing
- Edge care
- Weed attention
- Periodic rinsing
- Pet-area cleaning
- Infill maintenance
- Inspection of seams and transitions
Surface Heat
Artificial turf can become hot in direct New Mexico sun. Placement, shade, intended users and summer operating expectations should be considered before installation.
Putting Greens
Putting-green turf is different from landscape turf. The proposal should identify the selected product and confirm the size, contours, cups, fringe and intended playing characteristics.
Warranty
Manufacturer warranties vary depending on the selected turf product. LaBarge also provides a one-year warranty on installation workmanship, giving you added confidence in your investment.
