Vs Pavers — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A putting green in your Smyrna backyard is one of those upgrades that actually pays for itself in enjoyment. We've installed plenty of them throughout Cobb County, and the Smyrna homeowners we work with—especially around Vinings and the Market Village area—tend to have smaller, more intentional yards where a quality green makes a real impact. Here's what we've learned: people don't always want a full golf course setup. They want a focal point. A reason to spend 15 minutes outside before work, or to challenge your spouse after dinner. That's what a well-built putting green does. Unlike a paver patio that blends in with every other house on the block, a green is genuinely yours. It works in tight spaces, doesn't compete with existing landscaping, and honestly, it'll get more use than you'd expect. The Cobb County clay soil and our Atlanta humidity actually work in your favor here—we know exactly how to manage drainage so your green stays playable year-round, not soggy in spring or rock-hard in summer.
Smyrna sits on Cobb County clay, which is dense and drains slower than sandy soil. That matters for putting greens because standing water ruins the surface. Our installation process here includes proper base preparation and our drainage system to handle the urban runoff that collects in yards near Market Village and surrounding developments. Sun exposure varies significantly depending on your lot's orientation and tree coverage—properties in Vinings tend to have more mature trees, which creates shade patterns that actually benefit cool-season turf during hot summers. Lot sizes in Smyrna's residential areas typically range from 0.25 to 0.5 acres, so most homeowners aren't looking to fill their entire backyard. That's ideal for a putting green installation—you get maximum visual impact and playability without overextending your space. HOA regulations in some Smyrna neighborhoods require landscape approval, so we handle all the documentation before we break ground. The green itself tolerates our humid summers better than real grass would, and it's essentially maintenance-free compared to traditional lawn or sod.
It depends on your neighborhood's covenants. Many Smyrna subdivisions, particularly in Market Village areas, do require landscape modification approval. We handle that conversation with your HOA as part of our process—we've worked with enough local boards that we know exactly what documentation they need. Most see putting greens as an attractive hardscape improvement, not a problem.
Clay compacts and holds water, which is why drainage layers are non-negotiable here. We excavate properly, install a gravel base, add our engineered drainage system, then lay the turf. Without this step, you'd get puddles after rain. Smyrna's urban setting also means roof runoff and neighbor drainage can flow toward your yard, so we design greens with that reality in mind.
Most Smyrna homeowners we work with choose greens between 400 and 800 square feet. That's large enough to feel like a real challenge—multiple hole placements, different break angles—but compact enough to fit in a corner or side yard without dominating your landscape. Smaller lots near Jonquil Park area often go 300–500 square feet.
Artificial turf actually thrives in humidity better than real grass. No mold, no fungal issues, and our products are UV-stabilized for Georgia sun. You won't have to worry about dead patches or brown spots. Drainage keeps moisture from pooling underneath, so you're playing on firm, consistent surface all summer long.
