Weekend Install — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Your dog's been tearing up the backyard, and honestly, you're tired of mud tracks through the kitchen. Here in Augusta—whether you're in Summerville, Forest Hills, or over near Olde Town—pet turf is becoming the smart move for homeowners who want their yards to actually function. The Sandhills soil around here drains better than what folks deal with down in Atlanta, which is great news: it means pet turf installations settle nicely and water moves through without pooling. We've installed pet-grade artificial turf for families all over Richmond County, and the difference is immediate. Your Labrador gets to dig and play without destroying the landscape, and you get your weekends back instead of patching bare spots and fighting stains. Weekend installations are our specialty—we can typically have your new pet turf down in one or two days, so you're not waiting weeks to let your dog back outside. No more "stay off the grass" signs. No more seasonal dead zones. Just a yard that actually works the way you want it to.
Augusta's sandier loam over clay base is actually ideal for pet turf. Unlike heavier clay soils you find in other Georgia regions, your ground here drains naturally, which means better water movement and no standing puddles after rain—something your dog will appreciate. That said, a proper base layer still matters. We always recommend crushed stone and decomposed granite under the turf to maximize that drainage advantage and keep everything stable through summer heat and the occasional heavy storm. Neighborhoods like Summerville and Forest Hills tend to have lot sizes ranging from quarter-acre to full acre, so we typically design pet turf zones rather than going wall-to-wall. Many homeowners opt for turf in the main play area and keep natural grass elsewhere, or they'll go full coverage if they have smaller lots. HOA landscape rules vary by neighborhood—check your covenants before scheduling, though most HOAs in the Augusta area have come around on pet turf because it actually looks better long-term than worn grass. Sun exposure varies too. If your home backs up toward the Riverwalk or sits in a shaded lot, we'll recommend a shade-tolerant turf blend. Full-sun yards get our heavier-duty options that hold up to afternoon heat.
Absolutely. Both neighborhoods have solid drainage thanks to Augusta's sandhill soil, which is perfect for pet turf. We've done dozens of installs in those areas. The key is proper base prep—we'll excavate, add stone and decomposed granite, and compact everything so it handles dig-happy dogs without shifting or settling unevenly over time.
For most residential yards in Richmond County, a complete installation takes one to two days. We show up Saturday morning, handle excavation and base prep on day one, roll out and secure the turf on day two, and you're done by Sunday afternoon. Your dog can be back outside enjoying it right away.
Not with quality pet turf and proper drainage. Augusta summers are hot, but our turf is UV-treated and designed to dry quickly. The key is rinsing your yard weekly during peak heat and ensuring that base layer we install handles water movement—which our sandhill soil naturally supports. Regular rinses keep odor minimal.
We have shade-tolerant turf options that work in 4–6 hours of indirect sunlight. Many homes near wooded areas or older neighborhoods benefit from these blends. We'll assess your yard during the estimate and recommend the right turf grade based on your sun exposure.
