Side Yard — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Your side yard in Dunwoody gets a lot of foot traffic—especially if you've got dogs. Between the kids cutting through on their way to Brook Run Park and your golden retriever doing laps around the fence line, that patch of grass doesn't stand a chance. We've installed artificial turf in Georgetown, Winters Chapel, and Dunwoody Village long enough to know that DeKalb clay doesn't play nice with heavy pet use. It compacts, it gets muddy after rain, and honestly, it just looks beat down by mid-summer. The good news? Pet turf is built for exactly this scenario. It handles claws, urine, and constant running without turning into a dirt pit. We're talking about a surface that stays green year-round, doesn't require constant reseeding, and actually gets easier to clean than natural grass ever was. Most of the side yards we work with around here are tight on space—perfect for turf that doesn't need fertilizer, mowing, or the kind of maintenance that eats into your weekend. Your dogs get a safe, clean place to play, and you get your sanity back.
Dunwoody's clay-heavy soil is part of the challenge. It holds moisture, which means puddles and mud after the rain we get through spring and fall. If you've got shade—and plenty of homes in Winters Chapel and Georgetown do—natural grass is already fighting an uphill battle. Pet turf doesn't care. It performs the same whether you've got full sun behind Perimeter Mall or dappled shade from your mature oaks. Installation in our market usually means working around deck footings, fence lines, and landscape beds that are closer together than you'd find in newer subdivisions. Side yards here tend to be narrower, which actually works in turf's favor—less total square footage, faster install, and your dogs get a contained area that's completely functional. We typically run drainage considerations for Dunwoody properties because the clay base means water needs somewhere to go. Depending on your HOA rules in Dunwoody Village or your neighborhood, we'll make sure the turf meets any aesthetic guidelines—most are fine with quality pet turf, especially when it looks this good year-round.
Absolutely. We actually prefer it. Clay compacts well, which gives us a solid base. We prep the site, add a drainage layer, and install the turf on top. The clay won't shift or settle the way sandy soil does. It's why so many Dunwoody yards have held up well over multiple seasons.
Pet turf is engineered to handle it. We use materials with antimicrobial properties and install with a permeable backing that lets liquid drain through to the soil base below. Rinse it down occasionally with the hose, and you won't have odor issues. Most Dunwoody pet owners find it cleaner than natural grass.
Most side yards we tackle in Georgetown or Winters Chapel are done in a day or two. We're close by—just 28 minutes from our HQ—so we can schedule efficiently and get your dogs back outside quickly without a lot of downtime.
Most do, especially for side yards. Dunwoody Village and Georgetown typically approve pet turf as long as it's quality material and well-maintained. We've worked with several neighborhood associations and can help you navigate any approval process if needed.
