Backyard — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A putting green in your Doraville backyard sounds like a luxury, but honestly, it's one of the smartest upgrades you can make in DeKalb County. Whether you're in the Assembly area or near the Buford Highway corridor, we've installed plenty of these in neighborhoods just like yours—and the payoff is real. You get a practice space that handles Georgia's humidity without turning into a mud pit, curb appeal that sticks around year after year, and zero maintenance headaches when summer hits. The redevelopment happening all around Doraville means properties are getting more attention from buyers and neighbors alike. A well-designed putting green signals that you care about your outdoor space. We've been doing this for years, and we know exactly how to build one that works with the clay soil you've got out here and the shade patterns that come with mature neighborhood trees. Most folks in your area have yards that are perfect for a 200–400 square foot green—big enough to be fun, small enough to not eat up your whole backyard. Let's talk about what you're picturing and how to make it happen.
Doraville's soil is typical DeKalb clay—dense, heavy, and prone to holding water when we get our spring rains. That's actually why a proper base layer matters so much. We're not just rolling out turf and hoping for the best; we're engineering drainage so water moves through the system instead of pooling under your green. The Assembly area and neighborhoods along Buford Highway corridor tend to have older, established trees, which is beautiful but means you're dealing with filtered sunlight in a lot of backyards. Artificial turf thrives in that scenario because it doesn't need full sun to stay green and playable. We size our greens to fit typical DeKalb residential lots—most homes here have enough space for a solid putting area without competing with deck space or existing landscaping. If your property sits in one of the HOA-managed communities around here, we'll make sure the design and materials meet any landscape guidelines. The redevelopment activity means some properties have newer drainage infrastructure, which we integrate with. Installation typically takes 3–4 days depending on lot prep, and we handle the clay grading and base compaction ourselves so you're not stuck with amateur drainage.
Absolutely. Artificial turf doesn't need photosynthesis, so shade is actually an advantage here. The filtered light under mature trees keeps the turf cooler in summer. The main thing is ensuring water drains properly, which matters more than sun exposure. We design around your specific tree coverage when we estimate.
Clay holds water, so we build a gravel base layer that breaks up the clay and creates real drainage. Without this step, you'd have standing water after summer thunderstorms. We excavate, compact properly, and add our base system—it's the difference between a green that works and one that becomes a swamp.
Most HOAs in Doraville are fine with artificial turf greens since they're low-maintenance and neat-looking. We can pull your specific guidelines and make sure the design complies. Some have restrictions on size or color, but those are easy to work with.
Most Doraville residential properties work well with 250–400 square feet. That's enough for a fun short game space without eating your whole backyard. We'll measure your available space and talk through layout so it doesn't crowd decks, patios, or utility areas.
