Starter Home — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
You've picked a great time to move to Hiram—or maybe you're already settled in the Cedarcrest or Bill Arp area and thinking about what comes next for your yard. A lot of newer homeowners out here are realizing that Paulding County clay and Georgia's humid summers make traditional grass maintenance a real grind. That's where a backyard putting green comes in. Instead of fighting the soil every summer or spending weekends mowing, you get a year-round green space that actually plays like you'd hope. We've been installing synthetic turf setups across the metro Atlanta area for years, and Hiram homeowners specifically love how putting greens fit into starter homes—they're an upgrade that makes your outdoor space feel finished without the constant upkeep. Whether you're near the Silver Comet Trail or tucked into one of the quieter neighborhoods, a custom putting green can turn a problem yard into something you'll actually use. It's not just about golf, either. Families use them for casual chipping practice, kids' games, or just having a softer, cleaner yard to walk on. We can be at your place in about 25 minutes from our shop, so we're close enough to handle everything from the first site visit to the final walkthrough.
Hiram's got some specific challenges when it comes to yard installations, and being honest about them upfront just makes sense. The clay-heavy soil in Paulding County drains differently than what you see in sandier parts of Georgia, which matters when we're prepping your base. We account for that drainage pattern and make sure your putting green slopes correctly so you're not dealing with standing water during our typical summer thunderstorms. Sun exposure varies a lot depending on whether you're in a wooded lot or one of the newer, more open subdivisions. Some of the homes near Cedarcrest sit under mature trees, which is beautiful but means we'll spec out a shade-tolerant synthetic blend. Lot sizes in starter-home neighborhoods tend to run smaller, so we focus on maximizing your usable green space—maybe 400 to 800 square feet is typical, which still gives you plenty of putting practice and short-game work. One thing we've noticed: a lot of Hiram HOAs are pretty reasonable about backyard improvements, but we always check your covenants before we start. Installation usually takes a day or two depending on the site, and we handle grading adjustments for that Paulding County clay so your green sits perfectly.
Absolutely. We account for that heavier clay by building a more robust base layer—typically a compacted stone foundation with proper grading to handle our summer rain. Paulding County's soil doesn't drain like sand, so we make sure water moves away from the surface. Your green sits on top of that prep, which keeps it playable and prevents the soggy feel you'd get if we skipped proper base work.
Yes. Most starter homes in Cedarcrest and Bill Arp have yards that work great for a 400- to 800-square-foot green. That's enough for realistic putting practice, some chipping angles, and a nice visual upgrade. We've designed hundreds of them for yards just like yours—tight enough to feel intimate but substantial enough to be worth the investment.
We use shade-rated synthetic grass blends that hold up under tree coverage. Hiram's got some beautiful mature trees, especially in certain neighborhoods. Shade turf doesn't need quite the same UV resistance, so we can spec something that'll stay green and play true even if you're not in full sun all day.
Most residential installations take one to two days, depending on site prep and whether we're grading for drainage. Since we're 25 minutes away, we can schedule efficiently and keep your project moving. We'll give you a solid timeline at your initial walkthrough.
