Side Yard — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A putting green in your Brookhaven side yard isn't just a golf feature—it's a practical solution for homeowners who want to use their space year-round without the maintenance headache. Whether you're in Historic Brookhaven, Ashford Park, or Drew Valley, that clay-heavy DeKalb soil means natural grass putting surfaces struggle with compaction and uneven drainage. An artificial putting green sidesteps those problems entirely. You get a playable surface that stays consistent through Georgia's humid summers and occasional dry spells, all without watering, fertilizing, or replanting. Many Brookhaven residents are turning their underutilized side yards into personal practice spaces—perfect for working on your short game before heading out to the course, or just enjoying a few putts on a Saturday morning. We've installed dozens of these in the neighborhoods around Town Brookhaven and beyond, and the feedback is always the same: it's one of the best upgrades they've made to their property.
Brookhaven's urban clay presents both a challenge and an opportunity for putting green installation. That dense soil drains poorly when it gets wet, which is exactly why artificial turf thrives here—there's no standing water problem, no muddy footprints after rain. Your side yard likely gets a mix of sun and oak shade depending on lot orientation; we assess that during the site visit to pick the right pile height and infill density. Most Brookhaven homes sit on smaller, established lots, so side yards range from 200 to 600 square feet—perfect dimensions for a functional short-game practice area without overwhelming the space. HOA rules in Historic Brookhaven and Ashford Park tend to be reasonable about landscape additions when they're maintained well, and artificial turf actually *helps* compliance since there's no brown patches or overgrowth. We typically recommend a 4-6 inch base prep to handle Georgia's occasional heavy rain, and proper slope grading is non-negotiable in DeKalb's clay environment. The payoff is a surface that stays firm and playable year-round, even in our humid summers.
Yes—both neighborhoods generally approve artificial turf installations as long as they're well-maintained and blend with the property's aesthetic. We handle all the specifics during the initial walkthrough. Since artificial greens don't require chemicals, frequent mowing, or brown-patch repairs, they actually work *with* HOA standards rather than against them. You'll want to verify your specific deed restrictions, but we've never had pushback on this type of installation in Brookhaven.
DeKalb clay compacts easily and drains poorly, which means even premium grass varieties struggle with muddy patches and uneven wear patterns—especially on a putting surface where consistency matters. Artificial turf eliminates that problem entirely. Water drains through the backing and infill, clay compaction doesn't affect playability, and you get a tournament-quality surface that performs the same every single time you putt.
Most Brookhaven side yards can accommodate 300-500 square feet comfortably, which gives you a 30-40 foot putting surface—plenty for practicing approach shots and mid-range putts. Smaller yards work too; even 150-200 square feet creates a worthwhile practice area. We'll measure your space and show you layout options during the consultation.
Absolutely. We build a 4-6 inch compacted base with proper slope and perimeter drainage to handle Georgia's humidity and occasional heavy downpours. Water moves through the turf backing and infill, then disperses into the surrounding soil or drainage lines. Your side yard drains better with artificial turf than it probably does now.
