Maintenance — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A putting green in your Clarkston backyard changes everything—especially when you're working with the compact lots around Downtown Clarkston or the Milam Park area. We've installed dozens of them across DeKalb County, and here's what we've learned: homeowners in Clarkston want low-maintenance outdoor space they can actually use year-round, not a lawn that demands constant attention in Georgia's humidity. Your turf doesn't care about our clay soil or the summer heat the way natural grass does. It stays playable in August, looks sharp in January, and honestly, it's one of the smartest upgrades we see for urban yards where every square foot counts. Whether you're near the Clarkston Community Center or tucked into one of the neighborhoods nearby, a well-installed putting green gives you that resort feel without the weekend mowing routine. We're based just 25 minutes away, so we know exactly how to prep these yards for long-term performance in our specific climate and soil conditions.
Clarkston's compact urban lots come with real constraints—and that's exactly why artificial turf thrives here. Your soil underneath is likely DeKalb clay, which compacts easily and doesn't drain naturally like loamier soils do. That's actually an advantage for putting greens: we properly grade and install a drainage system that keeps water from pooling, something clay yards struggle with otherwise. Shade patterns matter too. If your lot borders trees or sits near taller homes (common in Downtown Clarkston), we'll recommend turf with UV stability rated for partial shade—it still performs, just with slightly different maintenance. The smaller lot sizes mean we're often working in tight spaces, sometimes with limited equipment access, but that's routine for us. We'll assess sun exposure, any nearby structures, and how water naturally moves across your yard during installation. Most Clarkston properties can accommodate a quality putting green without major grading surprises, though we always do a site walk first to confirm.
Yes. Our DeKalb clay soil doesn't drain well naturally, so we install a perforated base layer with proper slope to move water away from the turf. Without it, you'll get standing water and turf deterioration. We've learned this the hard way on properties across the area, so it's built into every installation we do here.
Brush it monthly to keep the pile upright, rinse it occasionally to clear dust, and clear debris. Georgia humidity is actually friendlier to artificial turf than dry climates—no UV breakdown acceleration. Just don't let leaves pile up or stand water sit. We recommend a leaf blower and a stiff broom; that's honestly it.
Most do, especially in the Milam Park area and Downtown Clarkston neighborhoods where yards are small and homeowners want low-maintenance solutions. Check your HOA documents for turf color and pile height restrictions, then get written approval before we install. We'll help you navigate that conversation.
Quality turf lasts 10–15 years with basic maintenance. Our Georgia heat and humidity don't accelerate wear the way extreme UV climates do. Heavy foot traffic and poor drainage are the real killers. With proper installation and upkeep, you're looking at a decade-plus of playable surface.
