Cat Safe — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Picture this: you're standing on your back patio in Austell, drink in hand, and you're actually *using* your yard instead of just mowing it every weekend. That's the reality for homeowners around the Six Flags area and throughout South Cobb who've made the switch to a backyard putting green. We've been installing artificial turf in Austell for years, and putting greens have become one of our most popular requests—and honestly, we get why. The clay-heavy soil here in Cobb County can make maintaining a real grass green frustrating. Between the humidity, the occasional drought stretch, and those heavy summer rains that turn yards into sponges, a lot of Austell homeowners find themselves fighting their landscape instead of enjoying it. A custom putting green solves that. No more battling drainage issues or patchy turf. You get a perfectly playable surface year-round, zero fertilizer runoff into Sweetwater Creek, and a backyard feature that actually gets used. Whether you've got a compact lot near the highway or a roomier space, we can design something that fits your property and your game.
Austell's transitional soil is pretty typical for South Cobb—heavy clay base with patches of red Georgia clay that don't drain like you'd want for a natural putting surface. That's exactly why artificial turf thrives here. Our crew knows how to prep that clay foundation so water moves away from your home's foundation and toward proper drainage zones, not pooling in your yard come July. Sun exposure varies wildly depending on whether you're closer to Sweetwater Creek or further into the neighborhoods. We always do a site assessment to map out shade patterns throughout the day and seasons—afternoon sun can be intense, so the right turf backing makes all the difference for playability in hot months. Most Austell lots range from 0.25 to 0.5 acres, so we're often working with creative footprints—maybe a 12×15 putting green tucked beside a patio, or a longer practice strip along a side yard. Installation typically takes 3–5 days depending on site prep needs. Since Cobb County HOAs vary, we'll verify any landscape requirements before we break ground. The upside: once it's in, you're not dealing with clay stains on your shoes or algae growth during our humid summers.
Absolutely. Our installation process includes proper base preparation and a drainage system underneath—we account for Cobb County's clay specifically. Water percolates through the turf and backing, then flows to designated drainage areas or your existing grading. We've installed dozens in the Six Flags area without drainage complaints. Clay actually helps with stability once the base is set.
Slopes are fine—even common in this area. We can work with grades up to about 1:10 without major regrading. Steeper slopes just mean more creative contouring for gameplay. We'll assess your specific property and show you what's realistic before we quote. Many Austell homes have modest slopes that actually create fun, playable greens.
Peak summer temps can push the surface into the 140s on full-sun days—higher than you'd want barefoot. We use pet-safe turf with backing designed to reflect heat and drain quickly. The infill materials are non-toxic and won't harm dogs or cats. Many Austell homeowners combine their putting green with a shaded patio area nearby for comfort.
It depends on size, site prep, and drainage needs. A basic 12×20 green typically runs between $3,500–$6,500 installed. Clay removal or significant grading adds cost. We're about 18 minutes from Austell, so no travel markup. We offer free estimates to nail down your actual project scope and budget.
