How To Install — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Pet owners in Hiram know the drill: natural grass turns into a muddy nightmare the moment your dog steps outside, especially after those Georgia downpours that turn Paulding County clay into something resembling concrete. We've installed artificial pet turf across the Cedarcrest area and Bill Arp neighborhoods for years, and the transformation is honestly remarkable. One Saturday your yard looks like a construction site from all the digging and wear; the next, you've got a clean, durable surface that actually handles paws better than traditional sod ever could. The best part? Your dog gets a safer play surface—no hidden holes, no parasites living in damp soil, and zero mud tracked into the house. Families in Hiram are choosing pet turf because it solves real problems in our climate and our soil type. We can get you set up in about 25 minutes from our place, and the installation process is straightforward. Whether you've got a quarter-acre behind your Bill Arp home or a smaller Cedarcrest lot, we size and install systems that work with your space and your pet's actual needs.
Hiram's clay-heavy soil presents both a challenge and an opportunity for pet turf installation. That dense Paulding County clay doesn't drain like sandy loam does, which means puddles hang around longer and natural grass struggles—but it also gives you a stable, compacted base that artificial turf loves. Before installation, we clear existing sod and level the yard, taking advantage of the fact that your clay foundation won't shift much seasonally. Neighborhoods like Cedarcrest and Bill Arp typically see mixed sun exposure; some yards get full afternoon heat near the Silver Comet Trail corridor, while others have tree cover that matters for turf longevity. We evaluate your specific lot and recommend turf pile heights and backing types accordingly. Most Hiram properties range from modest suburban lots to half-acre yards, and we've got configurations for both. One thing homeowners often ask about: pet urine breakdown. Our installation includes a permeable base layer that lets liquid drain through the clay without pooling on top, which is essential in our climate. We also use infill materials rated for heavy pet use, so the turf holds up to aggressive play without compacting or matting down over time.
We install a gravel base layer that sits on top of your existing Paulding County clay, then add a permeable underlayment. This setup lets pet urine and rainwater drain down through the base instead of pooling on the surface. The clay actually helps by creating a stable, non-shifting foundation. Without proper drainage, urine would sit on top and create odor and algae issues—but our installation avoids that entirely.
Absolutely. We've done 500-square-foot yards and much larger. Smaller lots actually showcase pet turf better because the wear patterns are more obvious with natural grass. A compact yard in Cedarcrest means less material, faster installation, and a cleaner look that lasts years. We size everything to fit your space and your dog's activity level.
Yes, we clear the existing sod and level the yard as part of the process. Given Hiram's clay base, we excavate just enough to account for the new turf height plus base layers, so your final surface sits flush with sidewalks and driveways. It's part of our standard install in the area.
Premium pet turf typically lasts 10-15 years in Hiram's climate. Georgia's heat and summer humidity do stress turf, but pet-grade systems are built tougher than standard landscaping turf. We use UV-stabilized materials and recommend infill top-ups every few years. Regular brushing and drainage maintenance extend the life significantly.
