Winter Care — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Oakwood homeowners know the deal: our clay-heavy soil and proximity to Lake Lanier mean winter moisture is always lurking. A putting green that sits on soggy ground or collects water isn't much fun when the temperature drops. That's where we come in. Over the past several years, we've installed artificial putting greens across the Oakwood area and the Mundy Mill neighborhoods—spots where real grass struggles and winter drainage becomes critical. The good news? Synthetic turf doesn't care about Hall County's heavy clay or our unpredictable winter rain. It drains, it stays playable year-round, and it doesn't require the constant fussing that natural greens demand when frost hits. Whether your backyard faces north toward the lake or you're tucked into one of the shaded lots common around here, we've got the experience to build a green that actually works in our climate. We make the drive from our shop regularly—Oakwood's become one of our favorite service areas—and we understand the specific challenges homeowners face here.
Hall County's clay soil is beautiful for trees but brutal for drainage. If you're thinking about a putting green in Oakwood or Mundy Mill, that clay layer underneath is job one. We account for it by building a solid gravel and sand base that sits above the clay, not on it. This keeps winter water from pooling under your turf. The other thing we notice around here: lot sizes vary wildly. Some properties near the lake-adjacent growth areas have room for a full 20-footer; others are tighter. We design around what you've actually got. Sun exposure matters too—north-facing yards in the Oakwood area tend to stay shaded longer in winter, which means slower drainage and potential ice buildup if you're not careful. We'll walk your property, check the lay of the land, and make sure your slope moves water away from the green and toward drainage points. No guessing, no surprises come January.
Absolutely. We install a engineered base layer specifically for clay-heavy areas like Hall County. We use crushed stone and permeable sand to create a buffer between your turf and the clay below. This prevents water from pooling in winter when the ground is cold and compacted. It's not an upgrade—it's standard practice for us in Oakwood, and it's why our greens stay playable through the wet months.
Yes, but we'll use a shade-tolerant turf blend and ensure drainage is excellent. The lake-adjacent areas and some Mundy Mill lots get limited sun, especially in winter. Shaded turf stays wetter longer, so we focus on slope and base prep to move water fast. We've done plenty of shaded greens in Oakwood that work beautifully—it just requires the right product and installation approach.
Winter care is minimal compared to natural grass. Brush the turf every few weeks to keep the pile upright and prevent matting from wet leaves. Check drainage after heavy rain—make sure water isn't pooling. If ice forms, let it melt naturally; don't use salt or sharp tools. Our synthetic greens handle Georgia winters without fuss. We're 50 minutes away and happy to troubleshoot if you notice anything odd.
Price depends on size, base preparation (clay soil often needs more work), and site conditions. A typical residential green in the Oakwood area runs $3,500 to $8,000+.
