Drainage Solutions — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A putting green in your Dunwoody backyard isn't just a luxury—it's a smart investment, especially when you're dealing with DeKalb's notoriously dense clay soil and the shade that comes with those mature trees around Georgetown and Winters Chapel. Most of our Dunwoody clients tell us the same thing: they're tired of patchy grass in shaded corners, tired of drainage problems after heavy rain, and tired of spending weekends fighting their yard instead of enjoying it. That's where artificial putting green surfaces come in. Unlike natural grass, synthetic turf doesn't care about your soil composition, doesn't need to be babied in low-light areas, and—this is the big one—it solves drainage headaches that plague so many homes in this area. Whether you're in 30338, 30346, or near Dunwoody Village, the drainage solution is the same: a well-designed putting green with proper base preparation channels water away cleanly, sits perfectly level for play, and looks crisp year-round without the maintenance nightmare. We've installed dozens of these systems across DeKalb County, and Dunwoody homeowners consistently report better yard usability and a genuine lifestyle upgrade.
Dunwoody's landscape comes with specific challenges that a standard lawn simply can't handle. The clay-heavy soil throughout DeKalb County compacts easily and holds water longer than most property owners expect—especially in the lower-lying sections near Brook Run Park. When you add the canopy coverage from established neighborhoods like Georgetown and Winters Chapel, you've got shade patterns that shift seasonally, meaning grass struggles half the year. A putting green solves both problems at once. Our installation process accounts for DeKalb's soil profile by building a robust drainage base beneath the turf—we're talking engineered sub-base, perforated pipes, and proper slope management so water doesn't pool under your new surface. The synthetic material itself handles shade without thinning or developing bare patches, and it drains water through and away from your installation zone. Most Dunwoody lots range from quarter-acre to half-acre, which means you've got room for a quality putting green without overwhelming your landscape. We typically see the best results when homeowners pair their turf installation with attention to the grading around their home—something that matters more in Dunwoody than in flatter areas of Georgia.
Absolutely. DeKalb's clay creates standing water issues that frustrate homeowners, but our systems are built specifically for that. We install a engineered drainage base under the turf that actively moves water away from your putting surface and out to storm drainage or graded areas. The synthetic material itself is permeable, so water drains through the turf and into the engineered base below. This is one of the biggest advantages over natural grass in Dunwoody's soil conditions.
That's actually one of the main reasons Dunwoody homeowners choose artificial putting green turf. The mature trees around Georgetown, Winters Chapel, and other neighborhoods create shade that kills natural grass, but synthetic turf thrives in low-light conditions. You get a consistent, playable surface year-round without the bare patches and thin spots you'd get with real grass.

Dunwoody neighborhoods vary in their HOA rules. We recommend checking your covenants first—many Dunwoody communities allow artificial turf for recreational surfaces like putting greens, but some require approval. Our team can help you navigate the conversation with your HOA and provide documentation about our professional-grade installation if needed.
