01 THE IDEA

Specialize in high-end residential putting green installation using artificial turf. Target affluent homeowners, golf enthusiasts, and luxury real estate markets. Projects range from small backyard greens ($30K) to elaborate multi-hole setups ($200K+). The business requires learning proper turf installation techniques but commands exceptional margins.

Demand has grown significantly as at-home amenities became a priority post-pandemic. Installer supply remains limited because the skill set takes time to develop, creating a meaningful barrier. Once established, referrals through golf clubs and high-end neighborhoods provide steady deal flow.
