Rental Property — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Clarkston's rental properties are getting a major upgrade, and putting greens are leading the charge. If you own units in Downtown Clarkston or around the Milam Park area, you already know that outdoor space is a selling point—and it's shrinking. Compact urban lots mean every square foot counts. A putting green doesn't just fill dead space; it gives tenants something they actually want to use, which means longer leases and better retention. We've installed dozens of these across DeKalb County, and the rental market in Clarkston has responded really well. The Clarkston Community Center area shows what good outdoor design can do for a neighborhood, and your property can tap into that same appeal. Our team is based just 25 minutes away, so we understand the specific challenges here—the clay soil, the shade patterns between older buildings, the HOA guidelines in certain pockets. A putting green handles all of it. It's low-maintenance compared to natural grass, it looks sharp year-round, and it gives your rental listing something memorable to photograph.
Clarkston sits on DeKalb clay, which is dense and doesn't drain like the sandy soils you find elsewhere in Georgia. That actually works in your favor for a putting green—we use a proper base layer and perforated subsurface that handles our heavier rainfall without pooling. Your lot size probably isn't huge; we see a lot of 1,000–3,000 square foot yards in the rental properties around here. That means we're often working with rectangular patches or corner installations rather than full-size greens, and we design them to maximize sightlines from the unit and the street. Shade is another real consideration. Many Clarkston properties have mature trees or are nestled between buildings, so we spec turf varieties that perform well in partial shade. Full sun is easier, but it's not always what you've got. We also factor in any HOA restrictions—some neighborhoods have guidelines about artificial surfaces, and we make sure everything we install stays compliant. The good news is that a well-installed putting green actually reduces water bills and maintenance headaches, which improves your bottom line as a landlord.
Absolutely. DeKalb clay is actually stable for installation. We excavate and compact the existing grade, then install proper drainage layers underneath—perforated pipe and gravel base—so water moves through instead of sitting on top. Your soil becomes the foundation, not the problem.
You can work with 200–500 square feet and still create something tenants love. Smaller greens in Clarkston rentals are actually more popular because they fit tight lots and feel like a real amenity without taking over the yard. We design them to be visible from windows and patios.
Most HOAs are fine with it, but we always check first. Some neighborhoods have specific guidelines on synthetic surfaces. We handle that conversation and make sure your installation stays compliant before we break ground.
Way less than natural grass. In Clarkston's climate, you're looking at occasional sweeping, debris removal, and maybe a rinse-off after heavy rain. No mowing, no fertilizer, no disease issues. Tenants can basically set it and forget it.
