Vs Concrete — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Out here in Chattahoochee Hills, a lot of homeowners have those sprawling estate lots with beautiful rolling hills—and they're thinking about what to do with the backyard. A putting green isn't just a novelty; it's a genuine lifestyle upgrade that makes sense for the terrain and the slower pace of life in communities like Serenbe and the Rico area. Instead of fighting clay soil and uneven grading to maintain a traditional lawn, you're looking at a permanent, playable surface that actually improves your property's usability. Whether you've got views over Cochran Mill Park or just want a reason to spend more time outside, a custom putting green transforms dead space into something you'll actually use year-round. We've worked with enough Chattahoochee Hills properties to know that concrete or hardscape alternatives pale in comparison—they're hot, they look industrial, and they don't give you that satisfaction of sinking a putt on your own land. A well-installed artificial green fits the landscape here, handles the Georgia humidity without the maintenance nightmare, and honestly makes your neighbors wonder why they didn't think of it first.
The Chattahoochee Hills area sits on South Fulton's rolling topography, which means most residential lots have natural elevation changes that actually work in your favor for putting green installation. The native soil tends toward clay with decent drainage in some pockets, but we've learned that proper base preparation—especially with the way water moves through these rolling properties—is critical to longevity. Sun exposure varies significantly depending on whether your lot borders Cochran Mill Park or sits deeper in the Serenbe community; some backyards get afternoon shade from mature oaks, while others are wide open. That matters because it affects which turf blend we recommend and how much water runoff you'll manage during heavy Georgia rains. Most estate properties here are large enough that homeowners can dedicate 400–800 square feet to a putting green without feeling cramped, and the Serenbe community in particular has landscape guidelines that favor natural-looking installations over rigid, manicured designs. We typically recommend a 4–6 inch compacted base with proper grading to shed water downslope, especially given how the terrain naturally flows in this part of Fulton County.
Clay holds water, so we don't install directly on native soil. We excavate, remove the clay in your installation zone, and build up a stable crushed-stone and sand base with proper slope for drainage. The rolling terrain here actually helps—water naturally sheds downhill. We've done this dozens of times on Chattahoochee Hills properties, and when it's done right, you get years of solid performance without puddles or soft spots.
Absolutely. The slopes are exactly why putting greens work so well here. We grade and contour to your specifications—some homeowners want subtle breaks, others want challenging play. The natural elevation of your lot means drainage is usually built-in. We've installed on steeper Chattahoochee Hills properties and created playable greens that shed water and stay firm year-round.
Concrete is permanent, ugly in summer heat, and adds zero lifestyle value. A putting green is soft underfoot, looks natural within the Serenbe landscape aesthetic, stays cool, and actually gets used. Plus, you can adjust contours over time. Concrete doesn't age well; turf improves your property and your daily life out here in Chattahoochee Hills.
The Serenbe community and surrounding Chattahoochee Hills neighborhoods generally support landscape improvements that enhance natural aesthetics. We work with local HOA guidelines and can design a putting green that fits their vision. Most approve them readily because they look like part of the property, not an add-on. We'll help you navigate any approval process.
