Sub Base Types — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Putting greens in Conyers aren't just about weekend golf anymore—they're becoming a smart way to reclaim yard space and add real value to your home. Whether you're in Olde Town Conyers or out toward Honey Creek, a well-built artificial putting green transforms that awkward corner of your lawn into something you'll actually use. The tricky part isn't the grass itself; it's getting the foundation right, especially given the clay-heavy soil we deal with here in Rockdale County. That's where most DIY projects fall apart. A proper sub-base keeps your green playable year-round, prevents settling and washout during our Georgia downpours, and means you're not re-grading every spring. We've installed dozens of these in the Conyers area, and every single one starts underground. The surface you putt on is only half the story. Your sub-base system—the layers underneath—determines whether your green stays true or becomes a wavy mess in two years. We're about 40 minutes away from your neighborhood, close enough to handle the whole project ourselves and stay available if you ever need maintenance or adjustments.
Conyers sits in red clay country, which honestly works against you if you're not careful. Rockdale County's clay soil drains poorly and shifts seasonally, especially through our wet winters and dry summers. That means you can't just lay sod on top of dirt and call it a day—your putting surface will sink unevenly, and you'll see dead spots where water pools. We typically start with a compacted base layer, then add a gravel or recycled asphalt component to improve drainage, and finally cap it with a sand leveling layer before the turf goes down. Sun exposure varies wildly depending on whether you're surrounded by mature trees (common in Olde Town) or in a more open lot. Some Conyers yards get punishing afternoon sun; others are shaded most of the day. Both extremes affect how your green performs and which turf yarn we recommend. HOA landscapes in parts of Conyers can be particular about colors and textures, so we always discuss what fits your neighborhood's aesthetic. Most residential putting greens in this area range from 200 to 600 square feet—enough for a real game without consuming your whole yard. Installation typically takes one to two days, depending on sub-base prep and how much old grass or debris we're removing.
Rockdale County clay doesn't drain naturally. Water pools and soil shifts seasonally, which causes your putting surface to settle unevenly and develop soft spots. A proper sub-base with gravel and sand layers keeps water moving and prevents that sinking problem. Skip the sub-base in clay, and you'll be re-leveling your green every couple of years.
Yes, but your turf choice changes. Olde Town properties often have mature trees that shade much of the day. We'd recommend a shade-tolerant synthetic turf yarn that handles lower light better. Full-sun greens use different materials. We'll assess your actual sun hours before recommending anything.
Most projects take one to two days, depending on site prep. If we're removing old sod or dealing with significant drainage issues in that clay base, prep might take longer. We handle everything—demolition, sub-base installation, leveling, and turf installation—so you're not managing multiple contractors.
Some do, others don't. Olde Town and Honey Creek have different standards. We recommend checking your HOA covenants first, but most allow artificial putting greens as long as they look professional and match neighborhood aesthetics. We've worked with local HOAs before and know what passes approval.
