Side Yard — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A lot of Hiram homeowners in the Cedarcrest and Bill Arp areas are discovering that a backyard putting green transforms a side yard that's otherwise just grass into something you actually use. Whether you've got a narrow strip between your house and the fence or a wider space that catches afternoon sun, a quality artificial putting surface gives you a low-maintenance practice area without the headaches of real turf. We work with folks around Paulding County who want to maximize their outdoor space—turning unused lawn into a feature that adds both function and curb appeal. The thing about Hiram's clay soil and humid climate is that traditional putting greens struggle here. They need constant watering, feeding, and disease management, especially during our hot summers. Artificial turf eliminates those problems entirely. You get a true putting experience with realistic ball roll and zero worry about drainage issues or bare patches. Our team has been installing synthetic greens across the Atlanta metro for years, and we've learned exactly how to build them so they stay playable year-round without fussing.
Paulding County's dense clay creates real challenges for natural grass putting greens. Water pools instead of draining, roots struggle to establish, and fungal issues spike during humid summers. That's precisely why artificial turf makes sense for Hiram properties. Our installations account for the local terrain—we build proper base layers that handle the clay without creating soggy spots come July. Side yards in the Cedarcrest area tend to be tighter than they look, so we design greens that fit your actual space while still giving you a functional practice surface. Sun exposure varies dramatically depending on whether you're near the tree canopy or in open space. We assess shade patterns before installation because that affects both durability and playability. HOA rules in certain Hiram neighborhoods may restrict green color or height, so we verify those details upfront. Most residential lots here are spacious enough for a 200–400 square foot green, which gives golfers room for realistic shot variety. We handle all site prep ourselves, including proper grading to prevent water pooling—a critical step given our clay-heavy soil composition.
Absolutely. Artificial turf doesn't need photosynthesis like real grass does, so shade is actually an advantage—it means less UV degradation over time. We've installed greens under oak and pine coverage throughout Paulding County. The only consideration is that damp, heavily shaded areas need extra-robust drainage, which we build in during the base prep.
Clay doesn't drain naturally, so we never install directly onto native soil. We create a layered base with crushed stone and perforated drainage fabric that sits above the clay. This prevents the water pooling and soft spots you'd get otherwise. It's extra work upfront, but it's essential for the humidity and rainfall we see in Paulding County.
Yes. We've built greens in tight 100–150 square foot spaces that work great for practice. The smaller footprint actually makes maintenance easier and keeps installation costs down. We'll walk your space, measure sun and shade, check HOA restrictions, and design something that fits your actual lot.
Most side-yard greens take 3–5 business days from site prep to final compaction. We handle everything—excavation, base layers, turf installation, and edging. Weather can add a day here or there, but we're local, so we know Hiram's patterns and schedule accordingly.
