Base Prep — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Johns Creek homeowners have high standards for their outdoor spaces—and honestly, that's what makes this community so appealing. Whether you're in Country Club of the South, St Ives, or anywhere else in Fulton County, your backyard is an extension of your home. A putting green isn't just a novelty; it's a practical investment that keeps your short game sharp without the weekly maintenance headaches of natural grass. We've installed dozens of synthetic greens throughout Johns Creek, and we've learned exactly what works in our clay-heavy soil and subtropical climate. The neighborhoods here feature some of the most manicured landscapes in the metro area, and your putting green should reflect that same level of attention to detail. Unlike the generic approach you'll get from big-box installers, we handle every aspect of base prep and drainage with Johns Creek's specific conditions in mind. Your guests will notice the difference when they putt on a professionally installed green, and you'll appreciate never having to fertilize, aerate, or water it again.
Johns Creek sits on Fulton and Gwinnett clay soil, which presents both challenges and opportunities for putting green installation. Clay doesn't drain naturally—it actually sheds water—so proper base preparation is absolutely critical here. We build a compacted crushed stone foundation that accounts for our area's clay composition, ensuring water moves away from the turf rather than pooling underneath. Your putting green's elevation relative to the rest of your yard matters more in Johns Creek than it would in sandy regions. The neighborhoods around Autrey Mill and Newtown Park feature everything from flat suburban lots to properties with significant grade changes; we customize every base to match your specific topography. Sun exposure varies dramatically depending on mature tree canopy, especially in established subdivisions. We'll assess your microclimate during the consultation—some Johns Creek yards get intense afternoon sun reflecting off slate or stone features, while others sit mostly shaded. Most residential putting greens here run 200–600 square feet, fitting nicely into the gaps between pool decks, patios, and landscape beds. HOA guidelines in upscale communities like Country Club of the South typically approve synthetic turf without hassle, though we always verify local restrictions before breaking ground.
Absolutely. We don't just lay turf over clay—that's a recipe for standing water and failure. We excavate 4–6 inches, install a perforated drainage layer, then compact crushed stone to create a stable, permeable base. This approach accounts for Fulton County's heavy clay and ensures proper water management year-round.
Most residential greens take 2–4 days depending on size and base complexity. We handle excavation, drainage setup, and turf installation in one project. Once the base is properly prepped for our clay conditions, the actual synthetic turf goes down quickly.
Johns Creek's upscale communities are generally approving synthetic turf for residential use. We've worked extensively in both neighborhoods and can help you navigate any CC&R requirements. We'll pull landscape guidelines and ensure your green meets local standards before installation.
Putting green turf has a tighter weave, lower nap (grass blade height), and firmer backing to create true rolling surfaces. It plays like an actual green. General-purpose artificial turf is thicker and fluffier—great for lawns, not for putting. We install specialized putting-grade material that performs consistently in Johns Creek's humid climate.
