Small Yard — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A putting green in your Buford backyard sounds like a luxury until you realize how practical it actually is. Whether you're tucked near the Mall of Georgia or down toward the Lake Lanier south shore, most Buford homeowners deal with smaller yard footprints—which makes a putting green perfect. You're not trying to recreate Pebble Beach; you're creating a fun, low-maintenance feature that turns weekend mornings into something worth looking forward to. Unlike a full-size lawn that demands constant feeding and mowing, artificial turf putting greens stay green year-round, never get muddy from our Georgia clay, and handle the humidity without developing that spongy, disease-prone feel natural grass gets. We've installed dozens of these across Gwinnett County, and Buford's mix of residential neighborhoods makes it ideal for putting green projects. Your friends will actually want to come over. Your kids will actually spend time outside. And you'll never have to stress about brown patches or crabgrass again.
Buford sits on heavy Gwinnett and Hall County clay, which is honestly one of the best reasons to go artificial for a putting green. Natural grass struggles with clay compaction—it holds water, it gets slick when wet, and it creates that squishy, unpredictable surface nobody wants on a practice green. Our turf solves that problem entirely. The clay base actually works in your favor because it's stable for the foundation work we do before installation. Sun exposure varies depending on whether you're in the Mall of Georgia neighborhoods or closer to the lake, but most Buford lots have decent afternoon sun. If your green gets shaded by oaks or pines, that's fine—artificial turf doesn't need photosynthesis. What matters is drainage, and we engineer that into every install by sloping the base correctly. Many Buford properties also fall under HOA guidelines, especially in established subdivisions. Artificial putting greens almost always pass HOA approval because they're manicured, permanent, and they actually improve property appearance. Most residential Buford yards are compact, which means we're usually working with 200–400 square feet for a practical green. That's the sweet spot: big enough to be genuinely useful, small enough to fit naturally into a typical backyard layout.
Absolutely. Our turf is engineered for Georgia's climate—heat, humidity, heavy clay soil, and all. The key is proper drainage underneath, which we install as part of the base. Water drains through the turf and the base layer into the ground instead of pooling. You won't get that spongy, algae-prone feel you'd get with natural grass in our clay. The turf actually performs better in wet conditions than a real green would.
Maintenance is minimal. A light rinse to remove pollen and dust, occasional brushing to keep the fibers upright—that's it. No fertilizer, no fungicide treatments (common on natural greens in our humid climate), no seasonal seeding. For homeowners in Buford's busy neighborhoods near the mall or commuting down to Lake Lanier, this is a real time saver. Your green looks the same in July as it does in January.
In most cases, no. We work regularly with Buford HOAs, and putting greens almost always get approval because they're attractive, well-maintained, and increase curb appeal. Occasionally an HOA requires a variance, but it's usually quick. We can walk you through the process if your community requires it. Give us a call and we'll check your specific covenants.
Realistically, 200–250 square feet gives you enough room for a few holes and practice distance. Buford lots are typically modest, so we often work with that range. Bigger is nice but not necessary—a well-designed compact green is way more fun than an oversized one that sits unused. We'll assess your space and design something that fits your yard and budget.
