Sub Base Types — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A putting green in your Austell backyard transforms a small patch of grass into a genuine practice space—no trip to the driving range required. Whether you're in the Six Flags area or closer to Sweetwater Creek, we've built dozens of these for homeowners who got tired of maintaining natural turf or simply wanted a fun focal point for entertaining. The beauty of a backyard putting green is that it doesn't demand much square footage. Most Austell yards have room for a compact 12x20 or even 8x15 layout that still gives you realistic green speed and break patterns. We handle everything from site prep to final bunker installation, and we're familiar with the specific soil conditions you're working with here in South Cobb. Our team is based just 18 minutes away, so we're close enough to handle quick consultations, measure your space accurately, and get your project on the schedule without delays. Many of our Austell clients use their putting greens year-round, and unlike natural grass, you won't spend weekends fighting the heat, humidity, and clay that comes with our transitional climate.
Austell sits in South Cobb where you'll find that dense, clay-heavy soil composition that can trap water and make natural turf maintenance a real headache. A putting green sidesteps that problem entirely—no soil amendments, no drainage struggles, no seasonal dead patches. The flip side is installation: that clay base means we need to build a proper sub-base to ensure your green doesn't settle unevenly over time. We typically use a compacted stone foundation topped with a leveling layer, then your turf membrane and infill. Sun exposure varies across the area depending on whether you're surrounded by mature trees near Sweetwater or in one of the more open residential sections. Most Austell lots get solid morning-to-afternoon sun, which is ideal for synthetic turf performance and playability. Shade under large oaks? That's fine too—artificial turf doesn't care. One thing we always discuss with Austell homeowners is HOA requirements. Some neighborhoods have specific guidelines on yard features, so we'll help you confirm your putting green fits within those rules before we break ground. Lot sizes here tend to be generous enough for a quality green without eating up your entire backyard.
Most residential putting greens don't require permits in Austell or Cobb County, but we always check first. If your green is under 200 square feet and you're not modifying drainage patterns significantly, you're typically in the clear. We'll verify with your HOA if you have one, and confirm there are no deed restrictions. It takes one phone call and saves headaches down the road.
We solve this during sub-base installation. We lay down a compacted gravel base, add a drainage layer, and use a quality geotextile membrane to keep the clay from migrating upward. This prevents settling and keeps your green playable even during Georgia's heavy summer storms. The clay actually helps us because it's stable and won't shift unpredictably.
Size and complexity. A small practice green (8x10 to 12x15) is perfect for casual chipping and short putts. A full-size green (18x24 or larger) can accommodate multiple hole positions and realistic break patterns. Most Austell homeowners start with a mid-size green around 12x20—it's affordable, fits most yards, and still gives you real practice value.
Yes. Unlike natural grass, synthetic turf doesn't go dormant or brown out in summer heat. Our putting green turf is UV-stabilized and designed for southern climates. You'll have consistent playability April through October, and it drains quickly after rain so you're not dealing with standing water or mold issues.
