Patio & Paver Turf in Savannah, GA | Courtyards, Balconies & Turf Strips

Patio, Balcony & Turf-Paver Strips in Savannah solve the hardest surfaces around your home. Concrete patios crack and fade in the coastal heat and humidity. Balconies overlooking the Historic District squares stay bare and institutional. Narrow turf strips between pavers in courtyards and side yards turn to mud in Savannah's high water table. We install synthetic turf on these hard surfaces to create usable outdoor rooms that stay green year-round, drain properly, and handle foot traffic without the maintenance of real grass or the deterioration of bare concrete. Whether you own a brick townhouse with a walled courtyard in the Historic District, a Victorian on Victory Drive, or a newer home in Pooler or Richmond Hill, artificial turf on patios, balconies and paver strips transforms spaces that are otherwise wasted or difficult to maintain. We've installed over a decade of these projects across Savannah and the surrounding Low Country.

Why Patio, Balcony & Turf-Paver Strips Matter in Savannah's Unique Landscape

Savannah's terrain and architecture create specific challenges for outdoor surfaces. The sandy soil sits over a high water table, so standing water pools on patios and between pavers after the near-daily afternoon thunderstorms that run June through September. Concrete cracks under freeze-thaw cycles in winter and buckles where tree roots lift it. Balconies on historic properties face strict HOA rules about color, material and appearance. Narrow courtyards between brick walls stay shaded and damp, making real grass impossible to establish or maintain. Artificial turf solves these problems directly: it drains fast, stays green without watering, handles salt spray on Tybee Island and Wilmington Island, and meets HOA architectural guidelines for front and side yards.

• We install turf on concrete patios with a drainage underlay that sheds water and prevents pooling after heavy rain.
• Balcony turf is secured with adhesive and infill to handle foot traffic and wind exposure without shifting or seaming.
• Turf-paver strips between hardscape elements fill narrow courtyards and side yards where real grass fails in shade or wet soil.
• We work with HOA architectural review boards in Ardsley Park, Gordonston, and the Historic District to document specs and color for approval.

Each of these applications requires different base preparation, infill weight, and edge treatment to perform reliably in Savannah's climate and soil conditions.

Key info: Savannah's average annual rainfall is 50 inches, with concentrated downpours May through September. Patios and paver strips must drain to grade or to a subsurface system, or water will pool and create odor problems. We specify drainage layers and slope every hard-surface turf installation to handle this reality.

How We Install Patio, Balcony & Turf-Paver Strips in Savannah

Hard-surface turf installation is not the same as yard installation. Concrete and pavers are fixed, so we cannot regrade or compact a base layer. Instead, we prepare the surface itself, install a drainage underlay, secure the turf, and finish the edges to match the existing hardscape. The process changes depending on whether you are covering a solid patio, a balcony with limited access, or narrow strips between pavers in a courtyard.

1. We assess the surface for slope, cracks, drainage, and structural integrity to confirm turf can be installed safely.
2. We clean and prepare the concrete or paver surface, filling voids and rough edges to create a stable base.
3. We install a high-quality drainage underlay that allows water to flow away from the surface and prevents pooling or moisture trapping.
4. We cut and fit the turf to the exact perimeter of the patio or balcony, working around steps, railings, and transitions.
5. We secure the turf with adhesive rated for outdoor use and infill to anchor it against foot traffic and weather.
6. We finish edges with aluminum trim, landscape edging, or a transition to existing hardscape to prevent peeling or tripping hazards.

The entire process is cleaner and faster than yard installation because there is no excavation, no heavy equipment, and minimal site disruption. A typical 200-square-foot patio can be completed in one to two days.

Example: A brick townhouse courtyard in the Historic District (Savannah 31401) has three sides of brick wall, one side of the house, and uneven pavers with low spots that hold water. We installed a 400-square-foot turf patio with a sloped drainage layer, secured the edges to the brick with aluminum trim, and now the courtyard is usable year-round without mud or standing water.

Patio, Balcony & Turf-Paver Strips Cost in Savannah: What to Expect

Pricing for hard-surface turf installation starts at $9 to $15 per square foot, depending on the complexity of the surface, the turf product selected, and the drainage requirements. A 200-square-foot patio typically runs $1,800 to $3,000 installed. A 400-square-foot balcony or courtyard will cost $3,600 to $6,000. These figures include turf, underlay, adhesive, infill, edge trim, and labor. The main factors that affect cost are the condition of the existing concrete or pavers (cracks or uneven surfaces require more prep work), the turf face weight and pile height you choose (heavier turf costs more but lasts longer and handles traffic better), and whether drainage needs to be diverted to a drain line or can flow to grade.

We always recommend getting two or three written estimates from turf installation companies so you can compare the turf spec (face weight, pile height, infill type), the base preparation method, and the warranty offered. Avoid any quote that does not name the turf product and its specifications in writing. For a detailed pricing breakdown and examples of common project costs, visit our full pricing overview.

What to Look for When Hiring a Turf Installation Company Near Savannah

Choosing the right turf installer is critical, especially for hard-surface work where drainage and edge detail determine whether the turf will perform or fail. We recommend checking these points before you hire any company, including us. First, ask for proof of insurance naming general liability and workers' compensation coverage. Second, request a written specification that names the turf product, face weight, pile height, infill type and weight per square foot, base material, and depth of preparation. Third, ask for references and photos of completed patio and balcony jobs, particularly in Savannah or similar coastal climates where drainage and salt exposure are real concerns. Fourth, understand any local HOA architectural rules for your property and confirm the installer will work with your HOA to document the turf color, pile, and edge treatment for approval if required. Fifth, clarify the warranty on the installation itself, not just the manufacturer's material warranty, and confirm it covers seaming, edge peeling, and drainage failure for at least one year.
