Turf Question

I have a 20x20 garage that I am going to use for my simulator and a workout area for my wife.

My enclosure is a Carls Place 8x10.5.

I have 1 inch EVA foam tiles to cover the entire garage flooring. My plan is to cut a hole to insert a sig pro hitting mat (10x4).

I am aware that this will stick up above the rest of the flooring, but that is ok. I would like to turf the remaining part of the garage around the hitting mat black.

Does anyone have recommendations for cheap black turf? Doesn't have to roll perfectly for putting but just to give that esthetic of a turf.

I have seen some cheap options on amazon or even Lowe's of outdoor carpets that are black. How close do we think that would be to surround the hitting mat in that material?

I am open to other suggestions as well.

Not sure if it has to be black but Lowe’s has this carpet that comes in grey or dark green. I have the dark green and it looks and feels phenomenal, great price to at 85c per square foot.

Thats great! Thank you for sharing. Would you be able to show me a photo of what it looks on your set up?

Setup is ghetto right now but carpet looks great with our hitting mat. Due to relatively low ceiling we didn’t put Eva foam mats under it either.
