Side Yard — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A lot of our Hiram customers tell us the same thing: they've got this side yard that's just sitting there, either turning into a mud pit or growing weeds faster than they can mow. The thing is, Paulding County clay doesn't make it easy to keep grass looking decent, especially in a growing community like this where yards tend to be modest but mighty important to how your home feels. That's where a sport court comes in—we're talking an artificial turf surface sized and built for your specific space, whether it's nestled between your house and the property line or tucked alongside a fence. A lot of families in the Cedarcrest and Bill Arp areas have discovered that a small court can handle everything from basketball to just kicking a ball around, and it doesn't fight you the way native grass does in this clay. We've been installing these for 25 minutes' drive from Hiram, and we've learned exactly what works in Paulding County backyards. The surface is durable enough to handle Georgia heat and humidity, drains properly so you're not staring at puddles after rain, and honestly, it transforms a throwaway side yard into something your family actually uses. No more fighting weeds in that impossible strip of land. No more explaining to the neighbors why one corner of your property looks perpetually neglected.
Paulding County's clay soil is beautiful when you're looking at the landscape around Silver Comet Trail, but it's genuinely tough to work with for grass. Clay compacts, holds water, and makes it hard for roots to establish. In a side yard—especially the kind most Hiram homes have—drainage becomes critical because you're already working with limited sun and air circulation. That's why artificial turf actually solves a real problem here. We size courts based on your actual space; a side yard in the Cedarcrest area might be anywhere from 12×24 to 20×30 depending on your lot. We install proper base layers that work *with* Paulding County's drainage patterns, not against them. The Georgia sun hits hard in summer, but modern turf is engineered to stay cool and won't buckle or fade the way older materials used to. Shade patterns matter too—if your side yard gets afternoon shade from mature trees or your neighbor's structure, we account for that in material selection. Most HOAs in suburban Hiram don't restrict turf courts, but we always verify before you commit. The real local advantage: we understand how quickly these growing neighborhoods fill in, so we design installations that don't interfere with future fence lines or utility access.
Absolutely. We use premium-grade turf specifically rated for Southern heat and humidity. It won't melt or degrade like budget materials, and the backing is designed to handle Hiram's summer temperatures. Proper base installation—which we always do—keeps the surface from getting too hot underfoot. Most families play on it year-round without issues.
That's the beauty of custom installation. Your side yard might be tight, but we design courts to fit real spaces—20×30, 16×28, whatever makes sense for your lot. Hiram properties vary, and we've done plenty of installations in modest side yards. The court doesn't have to be regulation size to be functional and fun.
We don't just lay turf on clay and hope. We install a proper base layer system that manages water correctly in this soil type. The turf itself permeates, and the underlayment is sloped slightly to direct drainage. After a Hiram rainstorm, water moves through the system instead of pooling like it would with grass.
Way less. No mowing in summer heat, no fighting clay to reseed, no fertilizer schedules. You rinse it occasionally to keep it clean, and that's mostly it. For Hiram homeowners tired of battling Paulding County's soil, it's a genuine lifestyle upgrade—less work, more play.
