Pet Safe — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A putting green in your Doraville backyard sounds like a luxury, but it's honestly one of the smartest investments you can make—especially around the Assembly area and Buford Highway corridor where lot sizes run smaller and outdoor space is precious. We've installed dozens of pet-safe putting greens across DeKalb County, and Doraville homeowners get it: why waste what little yard you have on struggling turf that burns out in summer heat when you could have a year-round, maintenance-free green that your dogs can roam on safely? The clay soil here doesn't play nice with natural grass anyway. Summer humidity and our notorious red clay mean you're either watering constantly or watching bare patches spread. Artificial turf flips that script entirely. You get a lush, playable surface that handles Georgia's weather without the chemicals, the mowing, or the dead zones. We're just 25 minutes away and have built a reputation on installations that survive Doraville's heat and actually look better in person than the photos. Whether you're in a townhome near the MARTA station looking to maximize a small space or in a residential pocket with room to dream, a putting green isn't frivolous—it's the practical answer to a yard that finally works the way you want it to.
Doraville sits on DeKalb's red clay base, which is notoriously dense and poor-draining—perfect reason to go synthetic. Natural grass struggles here without serious amendment, and that clay stays wet in spring and rock-hard by July. Our putting greens bypass that entirely, but the installation itself matters. We account for DeKalb's clay by laying proper base layers and drainage—no shortcuts. Sun exposure varies wildly depending on whether you're under the Assembly's newer development corridor or tucked into the older residential pockets off Buford Highway. Some yards get hammered by afternoon sun; others are shaded by mature trees or adjacent structures. We assess each site individually because shade patterns here shift seasonally and affect how the turf performs year-round. HOA rules in some Doraville neighborhoods are tighter than others, so we always verify landscape guidelines before breaking ground. Lot sizes tend toward modest—quarter to third-acre is common—which means every square foot counts. That's exactly where a putting green shines: it's a defined, high-impact feature that doesn't sprawl. Installation takes 3–5 days depending on site prep, and we handle grading, compaction, and drainage before the turf goes down.
Absolutely. Our turf is manufactured specifically to resist urine breakdown and UV degradation through Georgia summers. The infill system we use drains urine quickly so it doesn't pool or cause odor. We've got dozens of installations in Doraville backyards where dogs play hard daily—no dead spots, no staining, no issues. Rinse it down occasionally and you're golden.
Clay is actually our advantage. We excavate and compact it properly, then install a specialized base layer that prevents shifting and ensures drainage. The clay stays put—no settling or movement like you'd see with sandy soil. We grade for proper water runoff so nothing pools during our heavy spring rains.
Yes, but we design for it. Heavy shade limits grass growth in nature and synthetic turf alike, though our artificial green won't thin or die in shade—it just won't have the heavy use performance of a sun-exposed green. We assess your specific light patterns and recommend turf density accordingly. Works great for lower-traffic shaded spaces.
Typically 2–3 weeks from your call to install day, depending on permitting if needed. The actual installation takes 3–5 days depending on site prep. Weather can add a few days—we won't lay turf in heavy rain. Once we're done, it's ready to use immediately, no curing time required.
