Meyerland

A back lawn under a heavy tree canopy, laid fence to fence, with a small practice green cut into it beside the trunk. This is ground that will not carry natural grass — too little light, too much root competition — and it had almost certainly been patchy for years before this.

Working under an established tree means working around the root plate, not through it. The base is built up rather than dug deep near the trunk, so the tree is not damaged and the surface still finishes level. Turf holds full colour in shade that would leave a seeded lawn thin and mossy.
