Outdoor Kitchen — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Most Marietta homeowners we talk to have the same vision: a backyard that's actually usable year-round, without spending every weekend on maintenance. A putting green fits that dream perfectly, especially in neighborhoods like East Cobb and West Cobb where lot sizes give you real space to work with. The thing about Marietta is that your yard already deals with some challenges—that red clay base, the mature oak canopy that shades half your property by afternoon—so a synthetic putting surface actually solves problems instead of creating them. You get consistent green space that doesn't turn into a muddy mess during our wet springs, and it drains better than natural grass ever could in Cobb County soil. Whether you're in 30060 or out near Whitlock, a well-installed putting green becomes the centerpiece of outdoor entertaining. We've installed these within 12 minutes of our shop in dozens of Marietta backyards, and the feedback is always the same: it's the best investment they've made in their outdoor space.
Cobb County's red clay base is actually the reason we see so many putting greens go in around Marietta. Natural grass struggles in that clay, especially in the shadier yards—and if you're anywhere near Kennesaw Mountain or in the mature neighborhoods with established oaks, you've got significant afternoon shade that limits what turf can do. Synthetic putting greens sidestep that entire problem. We typically excavate 4–6 inches, correct the drainage slope to account for clay compaction, and install a perforated base layer that keeps water from pooling during our heavy spring rains. The neighborhoods vary quite a bit—East Cobb lots tend to be larger, giving homeowners room for 12–15 foot greens with approach areas, while West Cobb and properties near Marietta Square often work with tighter footprints. That oak canopy, while it shades your putting surface, actually works in your favor because synthetics don't fade the way natural grass does under UV stress. We've found that the best Marietta installations account for the clay's density and the shade patterns; it changes how we grade and what infill material we recommend for optimal ball roll.
Yes, but it requires proper base preparation. We excavate through the clay layer, install a perforated drainage system, and slope the green away from your house and any low spots where water pools. Red clay actually compacts well, which gives us a stable foundation. The synthetic surface itself is permeable, so water moves through the turf into the base layers and away. We've done this successfully across all six Marietta zip codes.
Shade doesn't hurt synthetic turf the way it does natural grass—no photosynthesis issues or bare spots. Your putting surface will be consistent year-round. The shade does mean moss and algae growth is possible in very wet seasons, but quality infill and proper drainage minimize that. If anything, afternoon shade keeps the turf cooler in summer, which is a bonus in Georgia.
Most Marietta yards we work with have room for a 12–15 foot green with a small approach area. East Cobb properties tend to accommodate larger layouts, while tighter West Cobb lots often work better with 8–10 foot greens. We'll do a site visit to see your actual footprint, existing drainage patterns, and shade zones before finalizing the design.
From design to finished product, expect 2–3 weeks. We handle excavation, base preparation, drainage installation, and turf laying. Since we're only 12 minutes from most Marietta addresses, we can often schedule multiple phases efficiently. Weather—especially our wet springs—can add a week if drainage work needs extra attention on Cobb County clay.
