Drainage — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Fair Oaks sits in that sweet spot where suburban living meets real yard maintenance challenges. If you've got clay soil from South Cobb working against you, or you're tired of fighting drainage issues every time it rains, a putting green might be exactly what your backyard needs. Here's the thing—we're talking about a space that's low-maintenance, year-round playable, and honestly, way easier on your water bill than traditional grass. Whether you're near the Mableton border or closer to the Six Flags side of Fair Oaks, the principle is the same: proper drainage underneath makes all the difference. We've installed plenty of putting greens in this neighborhood, and every single homeowner mentions how much time they get back. No more weekend mowing, no more wrestling with muddy patches after a Georgia downpour. Your family gets a mini golf experience right at home, and your yard actually looks better maintained than ever. We're just 18 minutes away in Marietta, so we know Fair Oaks inside and out—including exactly what it takes to make artificial turf perform flawlessly in this specific climate and soil type.
Fair Oaks deals with heavy South Cobb clay, which means water sits instead of draining naturally. That's actually why a putting green works so well here—we install a proper sub-base with gravel and perforated drainage systems that handle Georgia's humid subtropical climate beautifully. Most lots in this area are suburban-sized yards, typically a quarter to half acre, which gives you plenty of room for a putting green without overwhelming the landscape. Sun exposure varies depending on which side of Fair Oaks you're in, but we assess shade patterns during your consultation because turf selection depends on it. HOA guidelines in Fair Oaks neighborhoods are generally favorable toward artificial turf—it's actually seen as a maintenance upgrade—but we always verify restrictions before design. The real consideration here is that clay base. Without proper drainage infrastructure, water pools and creates slime beneath synthetic turf. We build in slope and base layers that solve Fair Oaks' drainage problem permanently. Installation typically takes 3–5 days depending on existing yard conditions, and we handle all grading and compaction work.
Absolutely. We excavate the existing clay, install a compacted gravel base layer with proper slope, then add perforated drainage pipe before laying turf. This system works specifically because it accounts for South Cobb's heavy clay. Water moves through the turf and gravel, then drains away from your yard. We've done this dozens of times in Fair Oaks neighborhoods, and it handles heavy rain without pooling.
Our synthetic turf is UV-stabilized and designed for exactly this climate. Unlike natural grass, it won't brown out in summer or develop mold from humidity. The drainage system we install prevents moisture buildup underneath, which is the real enemy in Georgia. Fair Oaks homeowners see consistent playability year-round—no seasonal dead spots.
Most Fair Oaks yards have room for at least a 400–600 square-foot green, often in a side or backyard space. We work with your existing layout and HOA rules. If you have shade from mature trees near Mableton, we recommend selecting shade-tolerant turf varieties. The footprint doesn't have to be massive—even a modest green becomes a neighborhood conversation piece.
Minimal. You'll brush it occasionally to maintain nap direction and rinse debris, but that's it. No fertilizer, no watering in drought, no mowing. The drainage system we install means you won't deal with algae or mold even during Fair Oaks' humid summers. Most homeowners spend 15 minutes a month on upkeep instead of hours.
