How To Install — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A putting green in your Marietta backyard transforms those spare moments into genuine practice time—no drive to the range, no membership fees, just you and your short game whenever you want it. Whether you're in East Cobb, near Whitlock, or anywhere across the 30060–30068 zip codes, we've installed dozens of these greens for homeowners who got tired of watching their skills rust between rounds. The beauty of artificial turf for putting is that it handles Georgia's humidity and that thick red clay soil without needing constant maintenance. We're just 12 minutes from Marietta Square, so we know this area's yards, its shade patterns, and exactly what kind of surface holds up year-round. A well-built putting green doesn't have to be huge—even a 300-square-foot setup gives you enough green to work on lag putting, breaking putts, and those clutch three-footers. Most Marietta homeowners start thinking about this after their first frustrating season, realizing they could've installed one months earlier.
Cobb County's red clay is famous for two things: it holds water and it stains everything. If you've got mature oak trees overhead—and plenty of Marietta yards do—you're dealing with dappled shade and needle drop that complicates bare ground. That's actually why artificial turf works so well here. Unlike natural grass, it won't thin out under your oak canopy or struggle with the wet clay underneath. We typically excavate 4–6 inches, install proper drainage (crucial in our humid climate), then lay down a compacted base and your turf. The shade actually helps your green stay cooler in July and August, which means less surface degradation from intense sun exposure. Most Marietta properties we see run 300–600 square feet, though we've built everything from intimate 150-square-foot practice areas to 1,000-square-foot layouts for serious golfers. Check your HOA rules if you're in a deed-restricted neighborhood—most permit putting greens, but a few require approval. The red clay itself doesn't complicate installation; it just means we're extra careful with grading and drainage because water wants to pool here.
Absolutely—that's why we don't skip drainage. We excavate down to the clay, compact it flat, lay a perforated drainage layer, then add your sub-base. Water soaks through the turf and base, then moves laterally into a perimeter drain or down into the clay itself. In Marietta's humid climate, this matters. A poorly drained green becomes a swamp come July. We've never had drainage issues on properly installed systems here.
Yes. Shade is actually ideal for turf longevity—it reduces UV stress and keeps the surface cooler. The only trade-off is debris from the canopy. You'll rake or sweep needles off more often than a sunny green, but many golfers prefer this because the turf stays fresher-looking longer. The oak shade won't prevent growth or function.
A typical 400-square-foot green takes 2–3 days: excavation and prep the first day, drainage and base the second, turf and finishing the third. Smaller greens finish in one long day. Weather matters—we avoid heavy rain, so sometimes we schedule around Marietta's afternoon thunderstorms. Most jobs are playable within 24 hours of final turf install.
Brush the nap weekly to keep the pile standing, rinse it monthly to remove dust, and rake debris from trees. Unlike natural grass, you're not watering, mowing, or fighting fungus in our humid summers. Occasional deep cleaning every 2–3 years keeps it looking new. Total annual upkeep is maybe an hour or two of your time.
