New Construction — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Building a new home in Austell? A putting green is one of those finishing touches that transforms your backyard from generic to genuinely yours. Whether you're settling into the Austell area proper or one of the newer neighborhoods near Six Flags, a custom putting green adds real value and gives you something you'll actually use year-round. We've installed plenty of greens across Cobb County, and we know what works in our climate and soil. The nice thing about a putting green is it doesn't demand the same fussiness as a full lawn—especially not here, where our transitional climate and clay-heavy soil can make maintaining natural grass frustrating. Most of our Austell clients tell us they wish they'd done it sooner. You're not just getting a putting surface; you're getting a low-maintenance feature that looks sharp, plays true, and handles our Georgia weather without constant babying. If you're in the planning stages of a new build, this is the perfect time to talk about where to place it, how big to go, and what will work best with your property's drainage and sun exposure.
Austell sits on some genuinely heavy soil—that South Cobb clay doesn't drain like the sandy stuff further south. That's actually a plus for putting green installation, because it gives us a stable base and means we're not fighting erosion or washouts the way some installers deal with. What we do watch carefully is grading and subsurface drainage, especially in the transitional zones between your yard and native landscape. Sun exposure matters more than most people think. If your lot backs toward Sweetwater Creek or sits under mature trees (common in established neighborhoods here), you might get afternoon shade that actually helps during our hot summers. Full-sun greens need premium irrigation planning. We typically recommend 3/4-inch nap for Austell homes—fine enough to play true, durable enough to handle our humidity and occasional heavy rain. Most new construction lots in the 30106 and 30168 areas run between 5,000 and 10,000 square feet total, so we're usually working with 400–800 square feet of green space, which is ideal. Don't assume your builder's grading is turf-friendly; we've reworked plenty of drainage after homes were framed. Let's talk through your specific lot conditions before you finalize your landscaping plan.
Yes, but it's manageable. That heavy clay base is stable, which is great, but we build in a perforated-pipe drainage layer beneath the turf to handle our Georgia rain. Without it, you'd get pooling, especially near Sweetwater areas where water naturally collects. It's not expensive—just essential. We factor it into every Austell install.
Spring and fall are ideal here. Summer heat and humidity can stress new turf, and winter frosts are less of a concern in Georgia than elsewhere, but we want the ground warm enough for root establishment. We're comfortable installing March through October. If you're finishing a new build in summer, we can prep everything and start the turf in early fall.
Less than you'd think. Austell's humidity is actually helpful—turf doesn't dry out as fast. You'll brush once a week, mow every two weeks during growing season, and keep irrigation on a timer. That's it. No fertilizer, no pesticides. We design greens that thrive with minimal input in transitional zones like ours.
Depends on the shade amount. If it's dappled afternoon shade (like under a pine tree), absolutely. If it's deep shade most of the day, the turf won't hold up. We assess sunlight patterns before recommending placement. Many Austell backyards have mixed sun—we work around that by positioning the green in the sweet spot where it gets 4–6 hours of direct light.
