Base Prep — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Dunwoody homeowners are discovering that a backyard putting green transforms outdoor space without the headaches of traditional turf maintenance. Whether you're in Georgetown, Winters Chapel, or near Dunwoody Village, the suburban lots here are perfect candidates for a custom practice green—especially when you're tired of fighting DeKalb's clay soil and shade patterns. The beauty of artificial turf for putting greens isn't just about golf. It's about reclaiming usable yard space that actually looks intentional year-round. No bare patches from foot traffic, no brown-out during dry spells, no scalping the grass every weekend trying to keep it fairway-short. In a neighborhood where properties back up to Brook Run Park and residents take pride in their landscapes, a well-installed putting green becomes a genuine conversation piece. What makes Dunwoody different from other parts of metro Atlanta is the mix of mature trees and those heavy clay soils. That combination means traditional grass struggles with both drainage and light. Artificial putting green turf sidesteps those problems entirely. Installation is straightforward—we handle base prep, proper grading for water runoff, and secure edging so your green stays crisp for years. Most Dunwoody homeowners see the value immediately: a low-maintenance feature that increases backyard functionality without the seasonal frustration.
DeKalb clay is notoriously dense, which is why proper base preparation matters more in Dunwoody than in sandier parts of Georgia. Before we install turf, we excavate to the right depth, compact the subgrade, and lay a crushed stone base that lets water drain instead of pooling. Dunwoody's shade is another reality check—mature oaks and pines are beautiful, but they limit grass options. Artificial turf doesn't care about light levels, so your green works whether it's in full sun or dappled shade. Most Dunwoody lots run a quarter-acre to half-acre, giving homeowners room for a practice green without it dominating the yard. HOA communities here tend to be receptive to well-executed landscape improvements, though we always recommend checking covenants first—they're usually fine with putting greens as long as installation is clean and edging is professional. Installation timing is flexible year-round in Georgia, but late fall through early spring avoids the heat and gives your base time to settle. We compact everything properly so you won't see subsidence. Drainage around the perimeter is critical in Dunwoody's clay environment—standing water is the enemy. Our crews know DeKalb County soils inside out, and we build that knowledge into every base-prep job.
We don't fight the clay—we work around it. After excavation, we install a compacted stone base that forces water downward and outward, preventing the pooling that clay naturally causes. Proper slope is critical. Your green sits above grade slightly, shedding water like a roof. It's why base prep matters more in Dunwoody than in sandier areas.
Absolutely. One of artificial turf's biggest advantages is that it thrives without sunlight. Georgetown and Winters Chapel lots with mature trees are ideal candidates. Your green won't thin out or go dormant. It performs identically in full shade or full sun, which is rarely true for real grass.
A standard residential green takes 3–5 days from excavation to finished edges. Base prep is the foundation—we don't rush that step. Weather delays are rare since we can work most of the year, though late fall and winter offer ideal conditions for settling.
Most do, especially when the installation looks professional. Dunwoody's landscape-conscious communities appreciate quality improvements. Check your covenants, but we've rarely encountered restrictions on putting greens. We handle all the details so your green complies with local standards.
