Cat Safe — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Decatur's tree-lined streets and historic neighborhoods—from the charm of Oakhurst to the character of Winnona Park—create some of Georgia's most beautiful residential landscapes. That same mature canopy, though, means dappled sunlight and tricky shade patterns in most backyards. A putting green can transform those challenging spots into something functional and fun, whether you're in the MAK Historic District with a modest lot or have a larger property that's been tough to maintain. Unlike traditional lawn grass, artificial turf doesn't demand constant fussing with shade tolerance, thatch buildup, or the red clay compaction that plagues Decatur yards. We've installed putting greens across DeKalb County—including plenty of Decatur homes—and we understand exactly how your soil, your trees, and your neighborhood's vibe shape what works. A well-designed putting green gives you a low-maintenance green space that your family and pets can actually enjoy year-round, without the chemical treatments or seasonal dead spots that come with natural grass in our climate.
Decatur's signature red clay combined with mature tree coverage creates specific challenges for traditional turf. Most properties here sit under a dense canopy—great for summer shade, tough for grass growth. Artificial putting greens sidestep this entirely. They perform equally well in partial shade or full sun, and they don't compact like natural grass does when installed over clay-heavy soil. One thing we always discuss with Decatur homeowners: lot sizes in neighborhoods like Winnona Park and Oakhurst tend to be smaller, which actually favors a putting green design. You're looking at a focused, high-impact feature rather than trying to spread resources across a large lawn. Installation involves proper base preparation—we account for Decatur's drainage patterns and clay composition—and the finished surface handles Georgia's humidity without puddling or shifting. If you have cats or dogs, artificial turf gives you a contained, easy-to-clean play area. Many Decatur residents also appreciate that a putting green doesn't trigger neighborhood appearance concerns the way some other hardscape projects might; it reads as thoughtfully landscaped, not utilitarian.
Absolutely. That's actually one of the biggest advantages. You don't need to worry about whether your corner gets five hours of sun or two—artificial turf greens perform the same either way. We design around your trees and shadows, not against them. In neighborhoods like the MAK Historic District where mature trees are part of the charm, a putting green lets you use the entire yard without fighting nature.
We excavate to proper depth, install a compacted base layer to handle Georgia's drainage, and then lay the turf system. The clay actually helps with stability once prepared correctly. We've done this across DeKalb County long enough to know exactly how Decatur soil behaves seasonally. Proper base prep prevents shifting and ensures your green stays level through rain and heat.
Yes. That's one of the main reasons Decatur pet owners choose putting greens. The turf is non-toxic, easy to rinse clean, and won't develop mud patches or bare spots from traffic. Cats can use it as a bathroom area without chemicals leaching into soil, and you can hose it down regularly. Many clients appreciate having a dedicated pet-friendly zone instead of torn-up natural grass.
Minimal. Occasional rinsing to remove pollen and dust (especially relevant in our pollen season), and brushing if you want to keep the nap standing upright. No mowing, no fertilizer, no fungicide treatments for the humidity-related issues that plague natural grass here. Most Decatur homeowners spend maybe 30 minutes a month on upkeep, if that.
