How to Measure Square Footage to Prepare for My Houston Putting Green Installation

Planning for a putting green installation starts with understanding the size of your area. Orion Turf & Landscape, Houston’s trusted name in artificial turf installations, guides you step-by-step through measuring square footage, a critical factor for accurate pricing and efficient installation.

Step 1: Calculate the Square Footage of Your Houston Putting Green

Accurate square footage measurement is key to designing a customized putting green. Here’s how to measure: 

1. Divide the Area into Simple Shapes: Break down your space into squares, rectangles, circles, or triangles to simplify measurements.
2. Measure Each Shape: For rectangles and squares, multiply the length by the width to get the area in square feet. For circles, measure the diameter, divide by two to find the radius, and use the formula (π × radius²). For triangles, use (base × height) / 2.
3. Add Up All Shapes: Sum the measurements of each shape to get the total square footage of your putting green area. 

Using accurate measurements ensures that you order the right amount of synthetic turf and prepare a well-suited base for your putting green.

Step 2: Using Your Square Footage Measurement for Installation
Preparation 

With a precise square footage estimate, you can better plan the layout and features for your putting green:

• Budget Planning: Knowing the square footage helps calculate costs for turf, base material, and labor.
• Design Features: For a personalized experience, incorporate elements like slopes, fringe areas, and multiple holes within your measured space.
• Preparing the Base: Properly preparing the base based on the area’s size ensures stability, smooth ball roll, and longevity of your putting green.
