Pinellas County Homeowners Turn to Sims & Greens for Maintenance-Free Synthetic Putting Greens and Lawns Amid Extreme Water Shortage Restrictions
— Local golf engineering company delivers tour-quality backyard solutions with zero watering, mowing, or fertilizing during ongoing drought conditions
SEMINOLE, Fla. — June 20, 2026 — As Pinellas County remains under a Modified Phase III “Extreme” Water Shortage Order with one-day-per-week watering limits and fines up to $193, Sims & Greens is helping homeowners maintain beautiful, functional backyards without using water or violating current restrictions.
The local company, which specializes in precision-engineered synthetic turf solutions throughout Pinellas County, is experiencing increased demand from golfers and families whose real grass lawns and putting greens are struggling under the drought and watering bans.
“Real grass simply cannot perform reliably right now,” said Gary Wilder, founder of Sims & Greens and a low-handicap golfer. “Between the one-day-per-week watering limits, restricted irrigation hours, and Florida’s summer heat, homeowners are watching their lawns decline. Our synthetic greens deliver true roll and stimp speeds that actually help improve scoring — with zero water use.”
Sims & Greens installs multi-layered synthetic putting greens specifically engineered for Florida conditions. The systems feature superior drainage for tropical storms, invisible seams, custom undulations, and calibrated stimp speeds that replicate private club greens. The company also provides complete synthetic turf lawn replacements across Pinellas County, creating lush, green yards that stay pristine year-round without mowing, watering, or fertilizing.
These low-maintenance solutions are ideal for busy families, retirees, and serious golfers in St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Seminole, Belleair, Largo, and surrounding communities who want reliable practice facilities and attractive outdoor spaces while staying fully compliant with county water rules.
“Homeowners want something that looks great, performs at a high level, and lets them avoid the challenges of maintaining real turf right now,” Wilder said. “That’s what we deliver.”
Sims & Greens also designs and builds custom climate-controlled golf simulators and full short-game backyard facilities. Homeowners can schedule a free design consultation or start planning with the company’s online Home Golf Planner at simsandgreens.com.
