Veteran Owned — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A putting green in your Marietta backyard isn't just about golf—it's about reclaiming your outdoor space and actually using it year-round. Whether you're in East Cobb, West Cobb, or near Whitlock, that red clay soil and dense oak canopy we deal with here creates real challenges for natural grass. You end up with bare patches, muddy divots, and a lot of frustration come summer. As a veteran-owned operation just 12 minutes away, we've built putting greens for Marietta homeowners who wanted something that actually holds up to our climate and keeps its shape through Georgia's wet springs and hot summers. No more watering, no more chemical treatments, no more excuses. You get a premium synthetic surface that drains properly, stays true year-round, and honestly makes your backyard the place neighbors actually want to visit. We handle everything from site prep to final details, and we do it right the first time.
Marietta's red clay is actually one of the biggest reasons artificial putting greens make sense here. That clay sits heavy, drains poorly, and stays soggy longer than most folks realize—perfect conditions for dead patches and disease in natural turf. Our mature oak canopy around the neighborhoods near Kennesaw Mountain creates shade patterns that shift dramatically across seasons, making consistent grass growth nearly impossible on a small putting surface. When we install, we account for this by building proper base layers that let water move through instead of pooling. Most Marietta residential lots are tight on space, so we're used to working with compact greens—50 to 150 square feet is typical—which means precision in grading and edge work matters even more. HOA rules in East Cobb neighborhoods tend to favor low-maintenance solutions, and a well-installed putting green actually increases curb appeal while staying within guidelines. Installation in Cobb County typically happens in spring or fall when the ground isn't saturated, and we always check for utility lines before breaking ground. The synthetic turf we use handles our humidity without mold issues and won't compact under foot traffic the way clay-heavy soil does.
Yes—but only if it's installed correctly. We excavate down about 4–6 inches, remove the clay, and build a base with crushed stone and perforated pipe that actually moves water away from the surface. Your Marietta yard's clay layer sits underneath, not interfering. Without this base work, you'd have standing water. We do it right.
Synthetic turf doesn't photosynthesize, so shade isn't the enemy like it is with grass. Our putting greens work fine under oak canopy. The bigger issue is moisture retention—shade means slower drying. We factor that into drainage design and often recommend turf with better moisture-wicking for shadier Marietta lots.
Most HOAs are fine with it—it's a landscape improvement that doesn't violate typical rules. We recommend checking your covenants first. If your neighborhood requires approval, we can provide renderings and spec sheets to make the case. We've done plenty of approvals across Marietta already.
A real putting green has contoured topography, proper grain direction, and premium synthetic turf that mimics actual greens—ball roll is predictable. A mat is flat and bouncy. We build the real thing so you actually practice how you'll play on a course, not just hit balls off rubber.
