Decide how the green will play
Green contours, fringe, cup positions, intended speed and surrounding access all influence the design. Discuss the complete system rather than selecting a turf product in isolation.
Decide the practice purpose
Short putting practice and longer chip shots place different demands on the surface and surrounding space. Define the available area, intended users, cup locations and desired ball behavior before selecting turf. A home practice green need not imitate a tournament layout. Excessive contours in a small footprint can make the surface frustrating instead of useful.
Specify contours and transitions
The base shape, selected putting surface, seams, infill and cup installation all affect performance. Fringe should relate to the green and the intended approach shot, not only provide a contrasting color. Keep circulation around the green stable and consider access for cleaning and adjustment. Changes in layout after installation can affect seams and drainage as well as play.
Plan care and realistic expectations
A synthetic green needs debris removal and the maintenance appropriate to its product and use. Rolling characteristics can change with condition, contamination and preparation. Ask what can be adjusted and what is fixed by the chosen assembly. Include surrounding paving, shade and nearby windows or property boundaries in the safety discussion; a green surface alone does not make every chip-shot direction suitable.

Bring the space together
Look at the whole composition: surface, architecture, planting and the places you want to spend time.

Before the project begins.
Can ordinary lawn turf be used as a putting green?
Do not assume it will provide appropriate ball roll. A putting surface and its base are selected for different performance requirements than ornamental lawn turf.
Can the green include chipping areas?
Potentially, but shot distance, surrounding space, ball containment and the turf assembly need separate consideration. Explain the practice you want before fixing the layout.
