Base Prep — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A putting green in your Snellville backyard transforms how you spend your free time. Instead of driving out to a golf course, you've got a professional-grade practice space steps from your patio—whether you're in the Snellville Towne Center area or one of the South Gwinnett neighborhoods. We've installed dozens of these across Gwinnett County, and what keeps homeowners coming back is simple: they actually use them. Year-round. No seasonal closures, no membership fees, no excuses. The real appeal isn't just convenience, though. A well-built putting green raises your home's outdoor aesthetic, gives you a legitimate reason to spend time outside with family and friends, and honestly, it's a lot more fun than scrolling through your phone. We handle the entire process—from evaluating your lot's drainage and sun exposure to building a green that feels like the real thing. Most Snellville yards have the space for this. Most homeowners have wanted to do it for years. The question isn't whether it's possible; it's whether you're ready to stop thinking about it and start making those putts.
Snellville sits on Gwinnett County's characteristic clay-heavy soil, which means drainage is job one. We don't just lay turf and hope for the best. Your lot's natural slope, whether it's near Briscoe Park or deeper in the residential neighborhoods, determines how water moves off the green after heavy rain. Most established lots here have decent drainage if it's planned right, but that clay base needs a proper sub-base layer to prevent pooling and turf breakdown. Sun patterns vary significantly across the area. South-facing greens near The Towne Green area get more intense afternoon exposure than north-facing backyards in shadier pockets. We assess this during the initial visit because it changes which turf blend we recommend and how we orient the green for optimal playability. Your HOA rules matter too—some Snellville neighborhoods have guidelines about landscape features, so we'll coordinate with you on compliance before breaking ground. Typical Snellville lots give us 15–25 feet of usable space for a practice green, which is plenty for short-game work. Installation takes 2–3 days depending on base prep complexity. The clay does require attention, but it's not a dealbreaker—we've done this hundreds of times in Gwinnett County.
Most residential putting greens fall under standard landscaping, so a permit isn't required. That said, check your HOA covenants if you're in a deed-restricted neighborhood—some Snellville communities have approval processes. We help navigate this conversation. If you're near Briscoe Park or another community with specific rules, we'll flag it upfront.
Clay is heavy, but we've installed hundreds of greens across Gwinnett County successfully. The key is a proper base layer that slopes away from the turf. We excavate to grade, install a perforated drain system if needed, then add a quality sand-based root zone. Your Snellville lot's existing slope and drainage patterns guide the approach—every yard is slightly different.
Base prep and installation typically takes 2–3 days for most Snellville properties. If your yard has significant grading needs or poor existing drainage, we might need an extra day. We'll give you a clear timeline after the site visit, so no surprises.
It depends on how much shade and what type. Most turf blends we use tolerate partial shade, but a green in deep shade under mature trees will struggle. During the consultation, we'll assess your sun exposure and recommend the best turf mix for your Snellville lot's specific light conditions.
