Photo - Artificial turf putting green next to a kids play structure

This client had a shady part of their property where grass had difficulty thriving.  I suggested an artificial turf putting green and a play structure area for the grand kids.  This was a huge hit.  Now the grownups play golf while the little ones play in their own area.
