Veteran Discount — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Up here in Dillard, you're sitting in some of the most beautiful mountain terrain Georgia has to offer—and that means your yard probably gets a mix of full sun and dappled shade depending on where you're positioned relative to the ridgeline. A lot of homeowners around Downtown Dillard and near the Sky Valley border ask us about putting greens because they love golf, but they're tired of fighting the cool-season grass limitations that come with our elevation and clay-heavy soil. Here's the thing: artificial turf putting greens actually thrive in mountain communities like ours. You get that consistent playing surface year-round without the moss creep and drainage headaches that plague natural greens in high-altitude areas. Whether you're a veteran looking to upgrade your property or just someone who wants a practice area that won't turn into a mud pit come spring, we've installed plenty of these in the foothills, and we know exactly what it takes to make one work on Rabun County terrain. Our team's familiar with the soil conditions here, the water runoff patterns, and how to build a green that'll perform through our wet winters and dry summers.
Dillard's soil is dense clay with a lot of organic matter—great for holding moisture in summer, but it means you need proper base preparation to avoid water pooling under your putting green. We always recommend a perforated drain system underneath, especially if you're in a lower-lying part of Downtown Dillard or near any natural drainage paths. The sun exposure varies wildly depending on your lot orientation relative to the surrounding ridges; some properties get full afternoon sun while others sit in shade most of the day. We'll assess your specific microclimate during the site visit—it matters for both synthetic grass selection and how the green will play. Most residential lots in this area run between a quarter and half-acre, which gives us room to build a nice 500–1,000 square-foot practice green without overwhelming your landscape. Our elevation here (around 2,000 feet) means we don't deal with the intense UV damage that lower Georgia properties do, so your turf investment holds up longer. One thing we always account for: the freeze-thaw cycles in winter can shift soil and create settling issues if the base isn't rock-solid, so we use reinforced subsurface materials built to handle mountain ground movement.
Absolutely. Our installations include a engineered drainage system that channels water away from the playing surface and into the surrounding landscape. Given Rabun County's clay soil and the moisture we get rolling off the ridge, we design every green with aggressive perimeter drains. You'll have a playable surface even during our wettest months—way better than natural grass would perform.
Not negatively. Cooler temps actually preserve your turf's color and texture longer than they do in hotter parts of Georgia. The main thing: frozen ground in winter won't damage properly installed synthetic greens, and you won't get the algae and moss problems that plague natural greens up here. We size the nap and infill specifically for our climate.
We offer a 10% military discount on all artificial turf projects, including putting greens. Bring your VA ID or discharge papers to the site visit, and we'll apply it to labor and materials. It's our way of saying thanks for your service.
We typically schedule Dillard projects with a dedicated crew to minimize multiple trips. Most residential putting greens take 3–5 days from site prep through final finishing. Once we're on-site, we work efficiently so you can start enjoying your green that week.
