Base Prep — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Putting greens are having a real moment in Conyers backyards, and honestly, it makes sense. Whether you're in Olde Town Conyers or over near Honey Creek, a lot of homeowners are realizing that synthetic turf for a putting green solves problems that real grass just can't handle in our climate. The clay-heavy soil in Rockdale County drains differently depending on your lot, and maintaining a tournament-quality green here takes serious work. We've installed plenty of these in the east metro, and what strikes us most is how much people use them once they're in. Not just for golf practice—families are out there in the evenings, kids are learning the game, and it becomes this unexpected gathering spot. The base prep is everything, though. Get that foundation right, and your green stays playable for years. Get it wrong, and you're dealing with pooling water, uneven surfaces, and turf that shifts. We'll walk you through exactly what your Conyers lot needs.
Rockdale County's clay composition is both a blessing and a challenge. Clay doesn't percolate water the way sandy soil does, so your base preparation has to account for that from day one. We typically install a engineered drainage layer beneath synthetic putting greens here—it's not optional in most Conyers yards. Sun exposure patterns matter too. If your backyard faces west toward the afternoon heat, the turf will perform differently than a north-facing lot near the Monastery of the Holy Spirit area. We've also found that HOA communities in Olde Town Conyers and surrounding neighborhoods sometimes have specific landscape guidelines worth checking before installation. Most residential lots in the 30012 and 30013 ZIP codes have room for a 200–400 square foot putting green, which is the sweet spot for practice and family play. The base itself—typically 4–6 inches of compacted gravel and sand mix—needs to be graded with slight pitch to prevent standing water, especially during our spring rains. We account for this during the initial site survey.
Clay doesn't drain naturally, so we can't just level and install turf. We build a proper drainage base with engineered stone and sand layers, graded to slope away from the playing surface. This prevents the pooling and soft spots we see in other Conyers yards that skip this step. It's more upfront work, but it's what makes a green last.
Absolutely. Olde Town Conyers and some neighborhoods in the 30012 ZIP code have landscape restrictions. We recommend reviewing your CC&Rs before we start. Most HOAs approve putting greens since they're low-maintenance and look sharp, but it's better to confirm early than to have a conversation after the base is already down.
Most residential lots we work on support a 250–350 square foot green comfortably. That's big enough for real practice—different slope angles, breaking putts—without dominating the yard. We've done smaller ones (150 sq ft) and larger ones (500+ sq ft), but we'll assess your space during the free site visit.
Base prep is usually 2–3 days depending on lot size and soil conditions. We're 40 minutes away, so we schedule efficiently. Once the base is compacted and graded, we'll install the synthetic turf—that's typically another day. Full project timeline is about 5–7 business days from start to play-ready.
