Master Installer — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A putting green in your Marietta backyard sounds like a dream—and honestly, it's more achievable than you might think. Whether you're in East Cobb, West Cobb, or near Whitlock, we've installed dozens of these throughout the area, and the feedback is always the same: homeowners wish they'd done it sooner. There's something special about stepping outside on a Saturday morning, coffee in hand, and working on your short game without leaving home. We're just 12 minutes away in the Atlanta area, and we've got a solid understanding of what works in Cobb County. The red clay soil, those mature oak trees that shade half your yard, and the Georgia humidity all play a role in how we design and install your green. We don't just lay down turf and disappear—we build something that'll look sharp year-round and handle the wear that comes with actually using it. If you've been thinking about it, let's talk through what's possible for your space.
Marietta's landscape comes with some specific quirks we account for in every putting-green installation. That red clay subsoil isn't going anywhere, so proper base preparation and drainage are non-negotiable—we're not taking shortcuts there. The tree canopy situation varies wildly depending on which neighborhood you're in. Some yards near Kennesaw Mountain and the older sections of East Cobb get hammered by mature oaks, which means less direct sun and higher moisture retention. Others, especially newer developments, have more open space. Both scenarios work fine for artificial turf, but they change how we think about compaction, ventilation, and maintenance. We see a lot of HOA communities in Marietta too, and most are turf-friendly, but we always verify the guidelines upfront. Yard sizes range from modest quarter-acre lots to sprawling properties, so we're used to scaling installations up or down. The Georgia humidity means we factor in proper edging and perimeter drainage so water doesn't pool during heavy rain. Installation typically takes one to three days depending on site prep and square footage. We handle all the grading and base work ourselves—no surprises, no change orders mid-project.
Red clay compacts differently than sandy soil, and it holds moisture longer, especially under tree shade. We account for this by establishing a solid drainage base and sloping the green slightly to shed water. It actually works to our advantage—the firm subgrade gives us a stable foundation. We've installed hundreds of greens on Cobb County clay without issues.
Absolutely. Artificial turf doesn't need sunlight like natural grass does. Shaded yards in East Cobb and near Whitlock are actually ideal because they stay cooler and drier. The main thing is making sure water drains properly since shade means slower evaporation. We design the subsurface accordingly.
You can build a functional green in as little as 200–300 square feet, which fits most residential backyards. Larger installations (500+ sq ft) give you more design flexibility and room for multiple holes. We've done everything from small corner installations to full 1,000+ sq ft greens. Budget and yard layout dictate the size.
Most do, especially in Cobb County communities. We always pull and review HOA documents before starting any project. Guidelines vary—some want specific turf colors or pile heights—but we've yet to encounter a blanket prohibition. Early clarity prevents headaches down the road.
