Pool Deck Edge — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Smyrna homeowners in Vinings and around Market Village are discovering that a backyard putting green does more than just look sharp—it transforms those awkward pool deck spaces and tight corners into year-round entertainment zones. We've installed enough greens in Cobb County to know what works and what doesn't, and here's the honest truth: the clay-heavy soil and our Georgia humidity mean your artificial turf needs to be installed right the first time. Unlike a sod lawn that'll fight you every summer, a properly built putting green handles our weather swings and actually improves drainage around problem areas. Most of our Smyrna clients start thinking about a green because they're tired of maintaining real grass in tight spaces, or they want to add genuine value to their outdoor living area. Either way, you're looking at a space that plays beautifully, looks pristine year-round, and actually solves some of the drainage headaches that plague our local clay terrain. We're just 18 minutes away, so we've worked with dozens of Smyrna properties and understand the specific challenges—and opportunities—your yard presents.
Cobb County's clay base is beautiful for building foundations but stubborn for drainage, especially in pool-deck situations where water pooling becomes a real problem. Our putting greens solve this by incorporating a perforated base layer that channels water away from the turf and toward your yard's natural slope or drain system. Sun exposure varies wildly depending on whether you're nestled in Vinings' tree-heavy landscape or closer to Market Village's more open lots. A green on the east or southeast side of your pool deck will handle Georgia's intense afternoon sun better than western exposure, where heat reflection off the water can stress even quality turf. Most Smyrna yards we work with range from 200 to 600 square feet for a putting area—enough for a nice practice setup without feeling cramped. HOA regulations in some neighborhoods require landscape approval before installation, so we handle that paperwork upfront. Humidity here means drainage and proper base preparation matter more than in drier climates; standing water and algae growth are real risks if corners are cut. We always recommend a 4-to-6-inch engineered base with a perforated layer, especially near pool decks where water management is critical.
Yes, when it's built properly. Our greens include a engineered base system that actively manages water, which is crucial in Cobb County's clay environment. We see a lot of pooling around pool decks here, but a correctly sloped green with perforated base layers actually improves your yard's drainage. It's one of the reasons so many Smyrna homeowners end up with better water flow after installation than they had before.
It depends on your neighborhood. Vinings and Market Village area properties often have HOA landscape guidelines. We've worked with most Smyrna HOAs and handle the approval process—submitting plans, documentation, and drainage specs on your behalf. Usually turnaround is 2–3 weeks, and most boards approve greens because they're low-maintenance and add property value.
Most Smyrna yards can accommodate a 200–400 square foot green that gives you genuine practice range. If you're working with a tighter pool deck or patio area, we've done successful 150-square-foot setups. We'll walk your property and recommend a size that fits your space and your budget without feeling cramped or underutilized.
Not if it's quality turf installed with proper drainage. Georgia's humidity is actually tougher on real grass than artificial turf. Our greens are designed for this climate—the materials handle heat reflections and humidity without breaking down. The bigger challenge is drainage, which we engineer specifically for Cobb County's clay and Smyrna's typical yard slopes.
