Winter Care — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Marietta homeowners love their outdoor spaces—whether you're hosting gatherings near the Marietta Square or enjoying a quiet afternoon in your East Cobb backyard. A putting green transforms how you use that space, especially during winter months when natural grass goes dormant and Georgia clay gets soggy. Here's what we see happen: families in Whitlock and West Cobb install synthetic greens in November, and by January they're already sinking putts while their neighbors' lawns are brown and matted down. The real win? No seasonal maintenance headaches. Georgia's red clay combined with our mature oak canopy creates unique shade patterns—some yards stay damp for days after rain. Artificial turf eliminates that muddy mess and gives you a year-round play surface that actually drains better than the clay underneath. We're just 12 minutes from downtown Marietta, so we've installed hundreds of greens across these neighborhoods. Winter's actually our favorite season to build them because you see the payoff immediately.
Cobb County's signature red clay is a game-changer for turf installation—it drains poorly in winter and holds moisture longer than sandy soils. That's why we always install a proper drainage layer beneath synthetic greens; without it, water pools and creates soft spots. Marietta's mature oak canopy is beautiful, but it creates dense shade zones in many East Cobb and Whitlock yards. That matters for putting green performance: we position the green where it gets 4–6 hours of winter sun if possible, which keeps the surface firm and playable. HOA communities in Marietta typically allow residential putting greens as long as they're setback from the street and blend with existing landscaping—we work with your HOA guidelines upfront. Most Marietta lots range from quarter-acre to half-acre, which gives us flexibility to build 400–800 square-foot greens without dominating the yard. Winter installation works perfectly here because soil compaction is easier and the surface cures properly before spring growth season. We've found that greens on west-facing slopes drain best and hold their shape longest through Georgia's freeze-thaw cycles.
Yes, but only if it's installed correctly. Our crew digs out the native clay and replaces it with a stone-and-sand base layer designed for Cobb County's heavy winter moisture. Without that prep work, you'll have drainage issues. We've seen DIY installs fail because people skip this step and lay turf right on red clay. Proper drainage is non-negotiable for a green that lasts.
It does. Shaded greens stay softer and damper longer, which actually changes how the ball rolls. We design around existing trees and work with what winter sun you have. Some Whitlock properties can't support a regulation green in the shadiest spots, so we build them in transition areas where deciduous trees lose their canopy in winter but provide summer protection.
Artificial turf handles freeze cycles better than natural grass, but the base matters. If your drainage base isn't solid, ice can form underneath and create soft pockets come spring. We use materials rated for Georgia's 20–30 freeze-thaw events per season. Your green will be playable the day after most winter freezes.
A typical residential green takes 3–5 days depending on site prep and size. East Cobb properties with heavier clay digging take longer than West Cobb yards with better natural drainage. We're only 12 minutes away, so we can schedule your project around your winter schedule and complete it before spring.
