Side Yard — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Your side yard in Chattahoochee Hills doesn't have to stay bare or patchy. A lot of homeowners around Serenbe and the Rico area have these generous estate lots with spaces that just don't cooperate with natural grass—whether it's shade from mature trees, compacted clay soil, or the simple reality that side yards are tough to maintain. Artificial turf transforms those awkward spaces into something actually usable. You get a clean, green strip that handles foot traffic, rain runoff from the rolling South Fulton terrain, and the Georgia heat without turning into a mud pit or dying off every summer. We've installed pool-adjacent turf for dozens of homes in this area, and the difference is instant. No more excuses to avoid using your side yard. It becomes an extension of your entertainment space—kids can play safely, you've got somewhere to set up, and it looks intentional rather than neglected. The Chattahoochee Hills landscape doesn't demand perfection, but it does demand practicality.
The terrain around Chattahoochee Hills, especially toward Cochran Mill Park and throughout the Serenbe community, sits on those characteristic South Fulton rolling hills with heavy clay and red soil underneath. That clay drainage is your biggest consideration. Natural grass struggles here during wet seasons, and side yards—which often sit between your main house and property line—tend to stay shadier and stay wet longer. Artificial turf handles that clay base beautifully once it's prepped properly. We excavate and level, add a gravel base for drainage, and lay the turf so water flows away from your pool and house foundation. Most estate lots in this area are generous enough to accommodate wider side yards, which gives us flexibility on turf width and orientation. One thing to note: Serenbe has community covenants, so confirm your HOA has no restrictions on artificial landscaping before we schedule. The Georgia sun still beats down hard even in side-yard shade, so we'll recommend a UV-stabilized turf that won't fade after three years of exposure.
Serenbe has community standards, so yes—check your covenants first. Most allow quality artificial turf, especially in utilitarian spaces like side yards, but it varies by neighborhood. Rico-area properties tend to have fewer restrictions since they're on larger, less-regulated lots. We can help you navigate the approval process if needed.
Absolutely. That heavy red clay is exactly why we install a proper gravel and drainage base. Water drains through the turf and base layer, flowing away from your house and pool. The clay actually helps stabilize the installation on those rolling hills.
Side yards here get variable light depending on tree canopy and house orientation. Even shaded side yards need UV-resistant turf because Georgia sun reflects off pool water and house walls. We'll assess your specific yard and recommend a turf grade that won't fade or degrade in 3–5 years.
Estate lots around here are usually generous—10 to 20 feet wide and 40+ feet deep. That gives us plenty of room to create a functional space. Smaller side yards still work great; we just adapt the layout to your actual dimensions and pool proximity.
