Side Yard — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Your side yard in West Cobb gets hammered by dogs, and that clay soil underneath doesn't help matters. By the time your pup has worn a path from the back fence to the gate, you're looking at mud in the rainy season and dust when it dries out—both landing on your kitchen floor. Pet artificial turf changes that equation completely. We've installed pet-friendly synthetic grass throughout Lost Mountain, Mars Hill, and the Harrison High School neighborhoods, and the difference is immediate. No more dead patches where your dog circles before lying down. No more tracking wet dirt inside after a West Cobb downpour. The turf stays green year-round, drains properly, and gives your dog a comfortable surface that won't tear up under their paws the way natural grass does in our clay-heavy soil. It's especially popular with newer construction homes in the area—a lot of homeowners realize early on that their side yards need a practical solution. We can typically have a side-yard installation done within a week, and your dog can use it the same day we finish.
West Cobb's clay-based soil is beautiful for landscaping in some ways, but it's honestly working against you if you want a healthy natural lawn—especially in a high-traffic pet area. Clay compacts easily, drains poorly in heavy rain, and turns to concrete when it's dry. Your side yard probably sees full sun from mid-morning through afternoon, which stresses out regular grass during our hot Georgia summers. Our pet turf is engineered with drainage systems that handle Cobb County's rainfall without pooling, and the backing allows water to flow straight through to the ground below. We typically install over a crushed stone base rather than trying to level the existing clay, which gives you superior drainage and a more stable foundation. Side yards in this area tend to be narrower—5 to 8 feet wide—so we customize the installation to maximize usable space for your dog without waste. If you've got an HOA, most developments in Lost Mountain and Mars Hill allow synthetic turf as long as it looks well-maintained, and ours does. We'll pull any HOA documentation you have and make sure the specs align before we break ground.
Absolutely. Our pet turf is rated for Georgia's climate and won't melt or off-gas in the heat. The backing we use allows air circulation, so it stays cooler underfoot than you'd expect. We've got installations all over Cobb County that have been in place for years without fading or degradation. The real advantage is that it won't turn into a muddy mess during our humid springs or bake into hard-packed clay in July.
We excavate and replace the top 4 to 6 inches with a compacted crushed stone base. This sits underneath the turf backing and lets water percolate down and away instead of pooling. In West Cobb's heavy rain events, you'll see water drain within minutes. The clay beneath stays intact and doesn't compromise the installation—it just gives us a solid foundation to work from.
Most homeowners we talk to end up going professional, especially once they realize the clay prep work involved. Proper base preparation is what makes the difference between a turf installation that lasts 10+ years and one that fails in three. We're 12 minutes from West Cobb, so a side-yard install is a quick job for us but saves you weeks of your own time and the risk of uneven settling.
Nope. The turf is specifically designed for pet use—urine drains straight through the backing into the stone base below and doesn't accumulate. It won't yellow or stain the turf fibers. If you want extra protection, we can add an antimicrobial treatment during installation. Most pet owners in Mars Hill and Lost Mountain tell us odor is completely eliminated compared to natural grass.
