Vs Concrete — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A lot of Hiram homeowners in the Cedarcrest and Bill Arp areas are ditching their concrete patios and hardscaping for putting greens, and honestly, it makes sense. Between the Georgia heat and that Paulding County clay underneath your yard, maintaining a natural grass green gets expensive fast. Concrete reflects heat like crazy in summer, it cracks, it needs sealing, and it just sits there looking flat and industrial. A putting green does something different—it gives your backyard actual purpose and character. You get a functional outdoor space that looks like something out of a resort, plays consistent year-round, and doesn't absorb heat the way pavement does. We've installed dozens of these in the Hiram area, and the transition from concrete to turf changes how people use their backyards entirely. Your family actually wants to spend time outside, not just look at gray slabs. The nice part about replacing concrete with synthetic turf is that the removal and prep work is straightforward, and you end up with a surface that handles Paulding County's clay and heavy rain better than cracked concrete ever could. No more puddles sitting on concrete. No more tripping hazards from heaving slabs. Just a smooth, well-draining putting surface that plays beautifully whether it's July or January.
Hiram sits on thick Paulding County clay, which is both a blessing and a curse for outdoor spaces. That clay drains slowly and compacts hard, which is exactly why so many people end up with cracked concrete patios and standing water issues. When we install a putting green, drainage becomes the real focus. We're not just laying turf on top of clay—we're building a proper base with perforated drainage layers that account for how this soil behaves during our heavy Georgia rain events. The Hiram area gets significant moisture, especially in spring, so the subsurface prep has to be solid. Sun exposure varies across neighborhoods too. Homes near the Cedarcrest area tend to have more mature tree cover, which means dappled shade throughout the day. Bill Arp properties often get more direct afternoon sun. Our turf choice and infill strategy shifts based on your specific lot. Most Hiram yards are suburban-sized—half-acre to one-acre lots with room for a genuine putting green without cramping your landscape. We've found that homeowners here often want 500–800 square feet of putting surface, which gives you enough length for real short-game practice without consuming your entire backyard. The clay base actually compacts nicely once we've done the proper preparation, creating a stable foundation. Installation typically takes 3–5 days depending on concrete removal and grading work.
Yes, as long as the base is engineered correctly. Clay doesn't drain naturally, so we install a gravel base layer with perforated pipe beneath the turf. Water moves down through the synthetic fibers and base layers, then channels away through the drainage system. Without this setup, you'd have puddles. We've done this successfully hundreds of times in similar Hiram soil conditions.
Absolutely. Concrete removal in Hiram typically runs $2–4 per square foot depending on thickness and access. Your putting green becomes a functional recreation space that increases backyard usability, looks significantly better, and solves drainage problems concrete creates. Plus, concrete just keeps deteriorating—the turf investment pays dividends in enjoyment.
Much less than natural grass, but some care is necessary. You'll brush the surface weekly to maintain blade standing, rinse it occasionally to prevent algae buildup during humid months, and check drainage after heavy rain. In Hiram's climate, we recommend quarterly professional maintenance to keep the surface playing true and to manage moss growth during wet seasons.
Yes, but with caveats. We use shade-rated synthetic turf that holds up under tree cover. However, if you're getting less than 2–3 hours of direct sun daily, we may recommend a smaller green or hybrid design. Shaded areas stay damp longer in Hiram's humidity, so drainage becomes even more critical for turf longevity and playability.
