Consultation — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A lot of homeowners around Waleska ask us the same thing: "Can I really have a putting green that looks and plays like the ones at Reinhardt?" The answer is absolutely yes. Whether you're in the foothills near campus or out toward the Funk Heritage Center area, an artificial putting green can transform your backyard into a genuine practice space—no more driving to a range, no more excuses to skip your short game. We've installed putting greens across Cherokee County, and we understand what works in this part of Georgia. The clay-heavy soil and mountain transition landscape here means most yards have challenges with traditional grass maintenance, especially for something as finicky as a real putting surface. Artificial turf eliminates those headaches entirely. You get consistent playability year-round, no chemical treatments, and a surface that actually improves your game instead of punishing it. Since we're based about forty minutes south, we know Waleska's terrain, its weather patterns, and exactly what homeowners in your area need to get a green that performs.
Waleska sits in that North Cherokee mountain-clay transition zone, which matters more than you'd think for a putting green. The native soil here is dense and clay-forward, which means drainage can be sluggish if you don't prepare the base properly. That's why we always recommend a solid crushed stone foundation—it keeps water from pooling under the turf during our wet springs and summer storms. The elevation and tree coverage varies significantly depending on whether you're near Reinhardt or out in the more open residential sections. Some yards get brutal afternoon sun exposure, while others are shaded heavily by pines and oaks. Both situations work fine for artificial turf, but they affect your choice of blade height and infill material. Yard sizes in the area tend to be generous—typical quarter-acre lots give us plenty of room to build a proper green with approach areas and even rough zones if you want them. We always scope out drainage patterns and sun exposure during the consultation so the green performs exactly how you want it to.
Yes, it does. The clay-heavy soil here doesn't drain naturally, so we install a perforated base layer that sits above the clay and channels water away from your green. This prevents soft spots and keeps the surface playable even after heavy rain. It's not complicated, but it's essential in Waleska.
Most artificial turfs handle shade beautifully—better than real grass, honestly. Around Waleska, many properties have mixed sun and tree coverage. As long as your green gets a few hours of direct light daily and isn't in permanent deep shade, you'll have no problems. We assess each yard individually during the consultation.
Absolutely. Slope is actually an advantage for putting green construction because it improves drainage naturally. We build the base to match your yard's contours, then create the green with subtle breaks and grades. Sloped yards around Waleska often make for more interesting, tournament-style greens.
Most residential putting greens take three to five days from site prep to final install, depending on size and complexity. We schedule around your availability. Since we're forty minutes away, we coordinate timing efficiently so you're not waiting around with an incomplete project.
