Landscape Upgrade — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Dunwoody's a great place to live, but that clay-heavy soil and all the shade from mature trees make keeping a natural lawn looking pristine pretty exhausting. A lot of homeowners in Georgetown, Winters Chapel, and around Dunwoody Village have discovered that a putting green solves that problem entirely. Instead of fighting the DeKalb clay every spring or dumping money into shade-tolerant seed that never quite thrives, you get a perfectly manicured green that actually improves your yard's curb appeal—and your golf game. We've installed dozens of these in the Perimeter area, and the feedback is always the same: it's the best upgrade they made to their landscape. A putting green works whether you've got a postage-stamp lot or a sprawling backyard. It drains better than you'd expect, holds up to Georgia's humidity without turning into a soggy mess, and you'll never mow it again. That alone is worth it for most of our Dunwoody clients.
Dunwoody's clay soil is dense and compacted in most residential yards, which actually works in our favor for turf installation—we get a solid, stable base that won't shift. The real challenge is shade. You've got mature oaks and pines everywhere, especially in the older neighborhoods around Winters Chapel. That's why drainage and base prep matter more here than they do in sunnier parts of metro Atlanta. We grade and install a engineered base layer that prevents water from pooling under the turf during our humid summers. The typical lot size in Dunwoody runs anywhere from half an acre to a couple acres, so we size putting greens accordingly—anywhere from a small practice green near the patio to a full 2,000-square-foot course-style setup if you've got the space. HOA rules in some Dunwoody neighborhoods are pretty specific about landscape aesthetics, but artificial turf is almost universally approved because it's maintained and looks sharp year-round. We handle all the permitting and HOA coordination. Summer heat and humidity are real, but quality turf handles it; the bigger consideration is making sure water flows away from your foundation and doesn't collect in low spots.
Dunwoody doesn't require a permit for landscape features like putting greens, but your HOA might have guidelines. We're familiar with the major Dunwoody communities—Georgetown, Winters Chapel, Dunwoody Village—and we handle any HOA approvals. It's usually a quick conversation; they love that turf stays green and maintained.
Yes, but it requires the right base. We install a perforated base layer that sits above the clay, so water moves through the turf and drains away instead of pooling. Dunwoody's clay is actually helpful here—it's stable and doesn't shift like sandy soil does. The engineered subsurface is what makes the difference.
Artificial turf doesn't need sunlight like natural grass does, which is huge for Dunwoody. If you've got spots under those big pines around Winters Chapel or Georgetown where nothing grows, a putting green thrives there. Even 2–3 hours of filtered light works fine.
A typical Dunwoody putting green takes 3–5 days from start to finish, depending on site prep and size. We're about 28 minutes from most of Dunwoody, so scheduling's easy. You can putt on it the day after we finish; it's ready to go immediately.
