New Construction Home — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Building a new home in Augusta means you've got a real opportunity to get your outdoor space right from day one. A lot of folks moving to Forest Hills, Summerville, or over in West Augusta are thinking about their yards differently than they did up north—and that's smart. Installing a putting green during construction beats retrofitting one later by a mile. You're already working with contractors, the ground's being prepped, and honestly, it's the perfect time to add something that'll give you years of enjoyment without the headaches of maintaining bentgrass or dealing with Augusta's summer heat on a natural green. We've worked with new-construction homeowners across Richmond County who wanted that backyard golf feature, and the results speak for themselves. Your soil around here—that sandhill loam over clay foundation—actually gives you some advantages. Better drainage than you'd get down in Atlanta, which matters when you're thinking about a putting surface that needs to shed water cleanly. A well-built artificial green doesn't care about the heat spikes in July or the occasional dry stretch. It's there, it's perfect, and it plays the same every single time you step up to putt. Whether you're in one of those established neighborhoods near the Riverwalk or further out toward the newer developments, we can build a green that matches your home's character and your golf expectations.
Augusta's sandhill region gives you a real advantage for turf installation—that sandy loam drains faster than the heavy clay you'd fight in Atlanta or south Georgia, which is huge for artificial putting greens. Your natural soil won't trap water the way other parts of the state do, so we're starting with a solid foundation before we even lay down base. Sun exposure in your neighborhood matters more than you might think. Lots in Forest Hills and Summerville tend to have tree cover, especially on the north and west sides. That's actually perfect for a putting green—you avoid the intense afternoon heat that can make even quality artificial turf feel different under your feet. We design green contours knowing how light plays across your yard throughout the day. Most new-construction lots in the 30901 and 30904 ZIP codes run between a quarter and half-acre, giving you realistic space for a green that feels genuine—usually 400 to 800 square feet depending on your layout. If your development has HOA guidelines (and many do in West Augusta), we work within those standards without cutting corners on playability or appearance. The Summerville area in particular has established landscape covenants, so we make sure your green complements neighborhood aesthetics while delivering tournament-quality putting surface.
Not like you'd think. Modern synthetic turf holds up beautifully in Augusta summers because it doesn't dry out or lose consistency like natural grass does. Our greens use cooler-running fibers and proper infill that actually breathes in the heat. You won't see the performance swings you'd get with bentgrass during July and August—it plays true year-round.
Absolutely. In fact, that's ideal timing. We coordinate with your builder and other trades during the grading phase, so installation slots perfectly into the construction timeline. Most HOAs in these neighborhoods approve greens since they're low-maintenance and don't impact neighboring properties. We'll review any covenants with you upfront.
Distance isn't a barrier. We manage Augusta projects regularly and coordinate site prep with your general contractor. We handle the full installation in one or two trips, depending on complexity. You get the same expertise and warranty support as homeowners closer to our office.
Your sandy loam is actually ideal. Unlike clay-heavy regions, you won't deal with water pooling under the green. We still engineer proper base layers and slope for runoff, but your native soil helps us avoid the subsurface moisture issues that plague installations in other Georgia zones.
