Installer — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A lot of Waleska homeowners we talk to have the same dream: a pristine putting green right in their backyard where they can practice their short game without driving out to the club. The thing is, between Cherokee County's unpredictable weather and that red clay soil most properties sit on around here, maintaining a natural grass green is more trouble than it's worth. That's where synthetic turf comes in. We've installed putting greens for families near Reinhardt University, retirees in the surrounding neighborhoods, and serious golfers who got tired of fighting the elements. The beauty of artificial green is that it plays consistent year-round—no dormancy in winter, no brown spots from summer heat stress, and zero worry about that heavy clay base shifting beneath you. We handle the entire process: soil prep specific to Waleska's terrain, proper drainage for our rainy season, and finishing work that gives you tournament-quality playability. Most installations take a few days, and you're putting the following week.
Waleska sits at that interesting zone where the North Georgia mountains transition into Cherokee County's clay-heavy soil. That red clay is dense and doesn't drain quickly, which is critical knowledge for putting green installation. We account for this by building in a proper base layer and drainage system—it's not something you can skip. The area gets decent rainfall, especially spring through fall, so we size subsurface drainage to handle water movement. Sun exposure varies a lot depending on whether your property is near the Funk Heritage Center side (more open) or tucked into the tree-lined neighborhoods around Reinhardt. We assess each yard individually because shade patterns change seasonally. Most Waleska lots are large enough for a quality putting green—typically 500 to 2,000 square feet—which gives us room to build contours and multiple pin positions. Winter temperatures rarely drop hard enough to damage synthetic turf, but we make sure the infill material is suited to freeze-thaw cycles. One more thing: if you're in an HOA community in the area, we'll coordinate with any landscape guidelines before we start work.
It's actually one of the first things we address. Clay compacts hard and holds water, so we don't install directly on it. We excavate, lay down a gravel base for drainage, then add a layer of sand-based material before the turf goes down. This prevents water pooling and keeps your green playable after heavy rain—common here in spring and fall.
Absolutely. Georgia winters in Cherokee County are mild enough that synthetic turf doesn't suffer frost heave or UV degradation issues. Your green stays green and playable year-round. We use infill materials rated for the freeze-thaw cycles we get, so durability isn't a concern.
We service Waleska regularly, so travel time is built into our process. Most putting green jobs take 2–4 days depending on size and site prep complexity. We'll give you a firm timeline during the consultation.
Yes. We assess sun and shade patterns specific to your lot—Waleska yards vary a lot in tree coverage. We'll position your green in the best light, work around existing plants, and make sure drainage doesn't interfere with your landscape. Every yard is different.
