Consultation — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A lot of homeowners in Clarkston tell us the same thing: they love the idea of a putting green, but they're not sure if their yard has enough space or the right setup. The truth is, most properties around Downtown Clarkston and the Milam Park area are actually perfect candidates—especially the tighter urban lots where traditional landscaping feels cramped. We've installed putting greens in backyards here that turned into instant gathering spots, and they've held up beautifully through Georgia's humidity and seasonal changes. The compact nature of Clarkston's neighborhoods means we're often working with creative space constraints, which honestly plays to our strength. We know DeKalb clay, we know how tight some of these yards are, and we know exactly how to build a putting surface that drains properly and looks professionally maintained year-round. If you've been thinking about adding something unique to your property—something that actually gets used—a consultation with us takes about 30 minutes, and we'll walk through your specific yard, soil conditions, and what's realistic for your space.
Clarkston's DeKalb clay soil is dense and prone to compaction, which means drainage is our primary concern when installing a putting green. We always recommend proper base preparation and a perforated underdrain system to handle Georgia's frequent rainfall and humidity. Most properties in Downtown Clarkston and around Milam Park sit on smaller lots, so we often design putting greens that double as functional landscape features—they enhance curb appeal while maximizing your usable outdoor space. Sun exposure varies significantly depending on your neighborhood's tree canopy; some backyards get direct southern exposure, while others have mature oak coverage. We assess this during consultation because it directly impacts which synthetic turf blend performs best on your property. DeKalb County's clay also means we need to be thoughtful about subsurface water management to prevent the green from becoming a drainage problem. The good news: we've built dozens of these in Clarkston, and we've solved the common issues. Your yard's specific elevation, existing grading, and soil composition all factor into our installation approach, which is why we always start with an on-site evaluation.
Absolutely. DeKalb clay is actually common in our area, and it's manageable with proper base prep and drainage. We excavate, add a gravel base, install perforated drainage pipe, and lay the turf system on top. The key is getting water off the surface quickly so it doesn't sit and compact the clay underneath. We've done this successfully in dozens of Clarkston yards, and the results last for years.
You'd be surprised. Even a lot in Downtown Clarkston or Milam Park with 15 by 20 feet of usable space can accommodate a functional, fun putting green. We design custom layouts to fit your property's dimensions and obstacles. Smaller greens still play great and save on installation cost—let's assess your specific yard during a consultation.
Synthetic turf requires far less maintenance than natural grass. Light brushing monthly and occasional cleaning keep it looking fresh. Georgia's humidity means occasional algae treatment, but that's minimal. Most homeowners spend less than an hour per month on upkeep, and we'll walk you through the routine during installation.
Yes, modern synthetic turf performs well in partial shade. We assess your specific sun pattern during the consultation—whether you're under the Milam Park oak canopy or facing south. Some turf blends are optimized for lower light, so we'll recommend the best option for your yard's actual exposure.
