Side Yard — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Temple's got that classic small-town charm, and a lot of homeowners here are discovering that a backyard putting green is the perfect way to enjoy those side yards that don't quite fit traditional landscaping. We've been installing synthetic greens across Carroll County for years, and Temple residents love how a quality artificial turf setup transforms unused space into something they actually use every weekend. The thing about Temple is that most properties have decent-sized yards, but not every inch needs to be mowed or maintained. A putting green gives you that resort-style feel right at home—no watering during Georgia's hot summers, no fighting the clay soil, and honestly, it's a conversation starter when folks come over. Whether you've got a narrow side yard between the house and fence, or you're looking to repurpose a shaded corner that won't grow natural grass anyway, we can make it happen. Our team knows the Temple area and Carroll County inside and out, and we understand what works here and what doesn't. Let's talk about turning that unused space into your own little golf haven.
Temple sits on that typical Carroll County clay soil, which honestly works in your favor for putting green installation. Clay compacts well and gives you a solid, stable base—no shifting, no settling issues like you might get in sandier areas. That said, the clay does hold moisture, so proper drainage underneath the turf is non-negotiable. We always install a perforated base layer to handle Georgia's spring and summer rains. Sun exposure varies a lot in Temple depending on your lot's tree coverage. Some properties are shaded by mature oaks, which is beautiful but means your green won't play quite as fast as a sun-soaked one. We factor that into the nap direction and turf pile we recommend. Side-yard greens are especially popular here because they're usually tucked away from the front street view, giving you privacy and focus. Most Temple yards have enough space for an 8x15 or 10x20 green, which is plenty for serious practice. The red clay in Carroll County can stain if not sealed properly, so we always include a proper base prep to keep that clay from bleeding through. HOA rules in the Temple area are generally relaxed about backyard improvements, but we'll check with you on any neighborhood guidelines before we start.
Absolutely. Our turf is UV-stabilized specifically for Georgia summers and holds up beautifully in the heat. In fact, Temple homeowners appreciate that they don't have to worry about brown patches or watering restrictions. The turf stays green and playable year-round, even during Carroll County's hottest months. Humidity isn't a problem either—we ensure proper drainage so water doesn't pool.
For a typical Temple side-yard setup (around 8x15 feet), you're looking at $2,500 to $4,500 installed, depending on base prep and how much we need to work with that clay soil. We can give you an exact quote after a site visit. Many homeowners find it's paid for itself in enjoyment within the first season.
Yes, we work with shaded yards all the time here in Temple. We'll choose a turf product that performs well in partial shade and adjust the surface setup. Shaded greens play a bit slower, which some golfers actually prefer. The trade-off is you get a cooler practice space on hot Carroll County afternoons.
We handle everything from ground prep to finish. For a side-yard green, installation typically takes one or two days. We'll assess that clay base, make sure drainage is right, and get you a playable green fast. No need to bring in contractors separately—we coordinate the whole project.
