Installation — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A putting green in your Waleska backyard is one of those projects that sounds like a luxury until you realize how much use it actually gets. Seriously—once it's installed, your family will be out there practicing short game, your guests will ask to play a few holes, and suddenly that empty corner of your yard becomes the most-used feature on your property. We've been installing synthetic greens across North Georgia for years, and the homeowners around Reinhardt University and the surrounding Cherokee County neighborhoods consistently tell us the same thing: they wish they'd done it sooner. The clay-heavy soil in this area actually makes artificial turf a smart choice—you're not fighting Georgia's moisture and mineral content the way you would with natural grass. Plus, if you're thinking about entertaining during the warmer months (which, let's be honest, is most of the year here), a putting green adds both function and real curb appeal. We typically complete Waleska installations within a few days, and we handle everything from site prep to finishing touches.
Waleska sits in that transition zone between the North Georgia mountains and the Cherokee County lowlands, which means your soil is likely that stubborn clay-and-mineral mix that makes maintaining natural grass frustrating. Artificial putting green turf completely sidesteps that problem—no more fighting drainage issues or mineral staining. Sun exposure varies quite a bit depending on whether you're closer to the Reinhardt University area or in one of the neighborhoods to the north and east. We assess your yard's actual sun patterns during the site visit because a green that gets hammered by afternoon heat needs different backing and drainage than one in dappled shade. Most residential lots in Waleska have enough room for a 400–600 square foot green, which is the sweet spot for both practice and casual play. The bedrock in this area can sit pretty shallow in some yards, so we sometimes need to adjust sub-base depth—nothing complicated, just something we catch during the walk-through. Winter drainage is rarely an issue here, but we always slope the green slightly to handle those heavy Cherokee County spring rains.
Actually, clay soil works in your favor with artificial turf. The real struggle with clay is that it holds water and stains natural grass—both problems that disappear with synthetic. We prep the base with proper drainage materials regardless of soil type, so your green will perform great. The clay underneath actually helps stabilize the sub-base, which is something we appreciate when we're working in the Waleska area.
Most residential putting greens take us 2–3 days from start to finish. We handle site prep, base installation, turf laying, and edge finishing all in-house. Since we're about 40 minutes away from Waleska, we schedule jobs back-to-back in Cherokee County when possible, which keeps your timeline tight and predictable.
Waleska doesn't have county-wide HOA restrictions on backyard improvements like putting greens, but some neighborhoods and developments do. We always recommend checking with your HOA or local zoning office before we start. We've worked with most of the development associations in the area and can help you understand what's required.
Very little. Blow off leaves seasonally (especially fall here), rinse the surface occasionally to keep it clean, and use a stiff brush on high-traffic areas to maintain blade texture. The clay-heavy rainfall in Waleska won't damage the turf—our drainage system handles it all. Most customers spend maybe 15 minutes a month on upkeep.
