Infill Types — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Clarkston's compact urban lots and clay-heavy soil mean most homeowners here don't have ideal conditions for maintaining a natural grass putting green—especially not one that actually plays true year-round. That's where artificial turf comes in. A lot of folks in Downtown Clarkston and around the Milam Park area are discovering that a synthetic putting green lets you carve out a backyard feature that actually improves your home without fighting Georgia's clay soil or spending weekends fertilizing and aerating. We've been installing these for neighbors within about 25 minutes of our shop, and Clarkston's smaller lot sizes actually work great for a well-designed green. You get that golf-course feel without the maintenance headaches, and your yard becomes the place people actually want to hang out. The real game-changer is picking the right infill—it makes the difference between a green that plays like carpet and one that rolls true.
DeKalb clay is notoriously dense and compacts easily, which would spell trouble for a natural putting surface in Clarkston. Artificial turf sidesteps that problem entirely. Our compact lots around Downtown Clarkston and Milam Park often don't have the space or drainage infrastructure that traditional greens demand. When we install a synthetic green, we're working with the reality of your yard—tight quarters, existing landscaping, maybe limited sun exposure between neighboring homes. Infill choice matters more than most people think. Silica sand is the workhorse for most installations here because it's affordable and plays consistent in Georgia's humid summers. If you're willing to invest more, recycled rubber or a hybrid blend can give you a slightly softer feel and better drainage—especially valuable if you've got low spots where water pools. The Clarkston Community Center area and surrounding neighborhoods tend to have established tree canopies, so we often design greens that account for partial shade. That affects both wear patterns and how the infill settles over time. Our crew knows these soil conditions and lot constraints inside and out.
Silica sand is reliable and affordable for Georgia's climate. It compacts well, drains adequately, and plays consistent through humid summers. If you want better drainage or a softer touch—especially important in shadier Clarkston yards where moisture lingers—consider a silica-rubber blend. It costs more upfront but handles our heat and moisture better long-term.
Yes. Clay doesn't drain naturally, so we install a perforated base layer under your green. In Clarkston's tight lots, we often slope the green slightly toward a French drain or daylight to a lower spot. Skip this step and you'll have water pooling under your turf within months.
Even 200–400 square feet gives you a playable green with a few holes. Downtown Clarkston and Milam Park lots are typically smaller, so we design greens that fit your footprint. Narrow, creative shapes work great—sometimes a wraparound design maximizes the usable area without eating your whole yard.
Most Clarkston HOAs approve artificial turf greens because they're maintained, attractive, and don't violate turf-type restrictions. Always check your covenants first, but synthetic greens are increasingly seen as a premium upgrade. We can help you navigate the approval process if needed.
