Maintenance — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A putting green in your Austell backyard changes everything about how you spend your free time. Instead of heading out to a course near Six Flags or driving across Cobb County for a quick nine holes, you're practicing your short game on your own turf—literally. We've installed dozens of these in the Austell area, and homeowners consistently tell us it's the best addition they've made to their property. The clay-heavy soil in South Cobb can make natural grass maintenance a headache, especially for something as precise as a putting surface. Artificial turf eliminates that problem entirely. You get a perfectly manicured green year-round without the watering, fertilizing, or seasonal die-off that plagues real grass around here. Whether you're in the heart of Austell or closer to the Sweetwater Creek neighborhoods, a custom putting green works beautifully in backyards of any size. It's not just about golf, either—it becomes a gathering spot for family and friends, a reason to linger outside instead of heading inside.
Austell's transitional climate and South Cobb clay create specific challenges for maintaining a natural putting surface. Our clay soil retains moisture unevenly, which means real grass either drowns in wet spots or dries out in others—neither scenario works for a putting green that needs consistent firmness and ball roll. Artificial turf sidesteps this entirely. Sun exposure varies across Austell neighborhoods; some properties near Sweetwater Creek enjoy partial shade, while backyards closer to Six Flags often get full southern exposure. We factor that into your turf selection—certain synthetic blends handle intense Georgia heat better than others. Installation in Austell typically involves grading away from your home's foundation (especially important given our clay composition), adding a proper drainage base, and compacting everything to tournament-grade firmness. Your lot size matters too. Some Austell homes sit on generous spreads perfect for an 8x12 green, while others work better with a 6x10 configuration. We assess your actual space and sun patterns during the consultation, then build accordingly. No two yards are identical, and we don't treat them that way.
South Cobb clay doesn't drain naturally, so we install a engineered base layer beneath your turf—typically crushed limestone and sand—to prevent water pooling and maintain the firm playing surface you need. Without proper drainage prep, your green would stay soggy after our frequent summer storms. We've done this hundreds of times in Austell and know exactly how to handle the clay.
Artificial turf requires far less work than natural grass, but it's not zero-maintenance. Light brushing a few times yearly keeps the fibers upright and ensures consistent ball roll. We can show you how, or we offer seasonal maintenance packages for Austell homeowners who'd rather have us handle it. Most customers find it takes maybe an hour per year.
Pricing depends on size, existing drainage, and whether you add features like chipping areas. A standard 6x10 green typically runs $2,500–$4,000 installed. Larger greens or those requiring significant grading adjustments for clay removal cost more. We provide a detailed quote after measuring your space.
Absolutely. Many Austell homeowners combine a putting green with a small chipping area, practice bunker, or walkway. We design these as a cohesive package, and the clay grading work we do for drainage serves the whole feature. It becomes a real practice area, not just a novelty.
