Side Yard — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Tyrone's side yards can be tricky. You've got that red clay soil that holds moisture, shade from mature trees near Shamrock Park, and dogs that tear up whatever grass you plant. We install pet-friendly artificial turf specifically for Fayette County homeowners who've given up on the grass-and-mud cycle. Your side yard doesn't have to be a muddy mess in spring or a dust bowl by July. Pet turf handles the real stuff: dog urine, constant foot traffic, and yeah, the occasional accident. We've installed dozens of systems in the Tyrone area—from compact side yards in Shamrock to the wider lots closer to Tyrone Town Park—and we know exactly what works in this climate. The clay here actually makes installation easier in some ways and trickier in others, which is why local experience matters. Most homeowners in your neighborhood are looking for something low-maintenance that doesn't require chemicals, holds up to paws and claws, and actually drains properly. That's exactly what we build.
Fayette County clay is dense and doesn't drain naturally—that's your biggest install consideration. Rain sits, which is why real grass struggles and why artificial turf with proper base preparation becomes your best option. Shade varies dramatically depending on your lot's orientation and those established trees throughout Tyrone and Shamrock. Some side yards get full afternoon sun; others are shaded most of the day. We assess each yard individually because what works three blocks away might not work for you. Side yards in this area tend to be 8 to 20 feet wide, which means we're working with tight spaces and usually limited equipment access. We account for that in our setup. Pet turf drainage is non-negotiable on clay—we install a gravel base layer that prevents water from pooling under the turf, which would create odor and breakdown issues. Tyrone's humidity also means we spec turf with antimicrobial backing. HOA rules in some neighborhoods allow synthetic turf; others have restrictions. We'll confirm what applies to your property before we start.
Yes. Clay doesn't drain on its own, so we install a stone base layer that sits between your clay and the turf. Water percolates down instead of pooling. This is standard for every install we do in Tyrone because the soil conditions demand it. Without proper base prep, you'd get sitting water, odor, and premature turf breakdown.
Shade doesn't prevent installation—it just changes the turf spec we recommend. We use products with better durability in lower-light conditions. Shade also reduces UV stress on the turf and keeps temperatures lower, which is actually good for dogs in Georgia heat. We'll map your yard's sun exposure before we quote.
We've done plenty of work in Tyrone neighborhoods, including around Shamrock. Side yards are actually some of our most common jobs because homeowners want a contained, low-maintenance space for their dogs. Installation typically takes one day. We're about 40 minutes from downtown Tyrone, so scheduling is straightforward.
Urine drains through the turf and base layer into the clay below, where it disperses. The antimicrobial backing we use prevents odor buildup on the turf itself. We also recommend occasional rinsing in hot months. The clay actually helps diffuse urine—it doesn't pool like it would on concrete or hardpan.
