Airbnb Upgrade — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Your Clarkston backyard is about to become an Airbnb superstar. A putting green isn't just a nice-to-have anymore—guests actively search for it, and they'll pay a premium for a stay that includes one. We've installed dozens of putting greens across DeKalb County, and Clarkston's compact urban lots are actually perfect for this upgrade. Whether you're in the Milam Park area with those tighter quarter-acre spaces or closer to Downtown Clarkston where the lots are a bit more generous, a well-designed putting green transforms what might feel like wasted yard space into a genuine amenity that justifies higher nightly rates. The magic is in the execution: proper drainage for our clay-heavy soil, the right turf pile height for actual playability, and smart design that works with your existing landscape. Most of our Clarkston clients see their booking rates climb within the first season. We're just 25 minutes away, so we know this area's quirks—the drainage challenges, the sun angles, the HOA considerations. Let's talk about making your outdoor space work harder for your rental business.
Clarkston sits on DeKalb clay, which means drainage is your first real consideration. Clay compacts, water sits, and cheap turf installations fail fast. We excavate properly, add a perforated base layer, and slope everything toward a French drain system. Your yard's probably not massive—that's actually the Clarkston norm—but it means we're designing putting greens in the 300–600 square foot range, which is totally functional and looks intentional rather than cramped. Shade patterns matter here. Many Clarkston properties have mature trees, especially in the Milam Park neighborhoods, and full-sun greens perform better. We'll assess your property's afternoon sun exposure and recommend turf blends accordingly. If you've got an HOA, they're usually fine with putting greens since they're permanent and well-maintained, but we'll review your covenants upfront. Installation typically takes 3–5 days depending on soil prep, and we handle all the heavy lifting. One heads up: the clay base means we're doing extra foundation work compared to sandy soil regions, but that's how you get a green that doesn't settle or puddle after heavy rain.
Most do, and they often prefer them over natural grass alternatives because they stay manicured year-round. We've worked with several HOAs in the Milam Park area and Downtown Clarkston. The key is checking your specific covenant language first—we'll review it with you. Permanent, well-maintained turf installations rarely get pushback since they actually improve curb appeal.
Absolutely, but only if it's installed right. We excavate the clay base, compact it, add a perforated underdrain system, and slope toward a French drain. This is non-negotiable in Clarkston. Cheap installs skip this step and fail. Our method keeps water moving, even during heavy DeKalb County rain.
You can do a legitimate green in 300 square feet—think 20 feet by 15 feet. Most Clarkston properties work with 400–600 square feet, which gives room for varied hole placements and makes it feel like a real feature. We design around what you've got available.
Once you approve the design, installation typically takes 3–5 days depending on soil prep complexity. Clarkston's clay requires solid foundation work, so we don't rush. Your green will be ready to photograph for your Airbnb listing within a week of our first site visit.
