How To Install — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Putting greens have become a real draw for homeowners across Chattahoochee Hills—especially in established communities like Serenbe and the Rico area where estate lots give you room to actually build something worth playing on. Those rolling hills in South Fulton create natural backdrops that honestly look better framing a custom putting surface than they do sitting empty. The thing is, installing a putting green here isn't just about laying down some turf and calling it done. The soil composition, drainage patterns, and how your lot slopes all matter when you're trying to create something that plays true and lasts. We've worked with plenty of homeowners in your area who started by thinking "how hard can this be?" and quickly realized that regional conditions—and the specific layout of their property—make a real difference in how the project turns out. Whether you're in Serenbe with manicured landscape expectations or out in Rico where you've got more creative freedom, the installation process has some local wrinkles worth understanding upfront.
The South Fulton rolling terrain around Chattahoochee Hills presents both opportunity and challenge. Those hills are great for visual interest, but they also mean drainage and grading become central to your install. Your soil tends toward clay-heavy composition in this county, which means standing water can be a genuine problem if the base prep isn't dialed in. Most estate lots in your area are large enough to accommodate a proper putting green, but that size advantage gets offset if you don't account for how water moves across your property during heavy rain. Sun exposure varies significantly depending on whether you're nestled in the Serenbe community's more wooded setting or in the more open Rico area—that affects which turf products perform best. If you're in or near a planned community, check whether there are landscape guidelines; Serenbe especially has design standards that can influence materials and finish. The good news is that the rural character of Chattahoochee Hills generally means fewer setback restrictions than closer-in neighborhoods, giving you real flexibility on size and placement. Proper drainage installation and base preparation are what separate a playing surface that holds up for a decade from one that gets soggy and uneven within a couple of years.
Absolutely. The rolling terrain around Chattahoochee Hills means your lot likely slopes more than suburban properties closer to Atlanta. We always start with a site survey to understand your existing grade, then build a base that both anchors your turf and directs water off the playing surface. Skipping this step is how you end up with a soggy putting green by June.
We typically recommend premium-grade synthetic putting greens made to handle the humidity and occasional freeze-thaw cycles common to South Fulton. Your clay-based soil and summer moisture mean turf needs good drainage characteristics and UV stability. The specific product depends on your aesthetic goals and whether you're dealing with shade from mature trees—common in the Serenbe community.
Residential installs usually span 3 to 7 days depending on green size and how much grading your lot requires. South Fulton's rolling hills sometimes mean we're doing more base work than expected, but that's exactly the kind of hidden site-specific factor that shows up in the final quality.
It can, which is why we don't install directly on clay. We excavate and replace the base with engineered sand and gravel layers that drain properly, then install a perimeter system to move water away from the green. This extra step is essential in Chattahoochee Hills and non-negotiable for long-term performance.
