SYNLawn at Highpointe

SYNLawn Okanagan was fortunate enough to work with Timberhaven Homes in 2009 on a residential synthetic putting green project in Kelowna's Highpointe development. Project manager Craig Procter with Platinum Construction Consultants was incredible to work with; it was his attention to detail and efficient use of resources that drove this project to success. The project 'Lot 23 Highpointe Drive' was later nominated for 5 Gold Tommie including Excellence in Landscape Design New or Renovation. 

The first visit on site looked something like this....

In the months that followed, SYNLawn staff worked closely with Timberhaven to create a putting green design for the area that meshed with the overall design of the property. The vision was to construct a putting green surface that could be use for both practice and entertainment. And so began the excavation...

Once the area was to desired grade it was time to haul in the base material - 24 yards of 1/2" minus crusher chips. A similar material is used for concrete pads or paving stone prep (3/4" crush), however for a synthetic putting green application the smaller material allows us to ensure there are no imperfections in the base when the SYNLawn putting surface is installed.

The base is then used to achieve desired undulations for the putting surface. With the size of this project and the use of 7 cups we were able to throw a variety of putts into the area!

Finally we were ready for the SYNLawn putting surface. Both the synthetic putting green & fringe materials come in 15 foot widths and roll out much like carpet would. After the green was shaped we began working with the fringe material to ensure a snug fit to the the putting green as well as the landscape edging. On this particular project we showcased the versatility of the material by trimming around a flagstone rock sitting area.

The result of this project was a 1600 sq/ft synthetic putting surface chiseled into the side of a mountain with an accented silica sand bunker.

The materials used for this project were: SYNBlue Premium 200 & SYNGreen Premium 200

Overall the project was a great success! Having the SYNLawn product used in such a prestigious home was exciting and working with Timberhaven Homes was a rewarding experience.
