New Construction Home — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
You've just closed on a new construction home in Dunwoody—maybe in Georgetown, Winters Chapel, or near Dunwoody Village—and you're thinking about what's next for your yard. A putting green is one of those upgrades that transforms your outdoor space from blank slate to backyard destination. Most new builds in DeKalb County come with builder-grade sod that's serviceable but nothing special, and if you're anything like our clients, you're ready for something that actually reflects the care you're putting into your home. Here's the thing about Dunwoody lots: they're typically suburban-sized, which means you have enough room to get creative without needing a sprawling estate. A well-designed putting green works especially well in these neighborhoods because it's a genuine focal point—something neighbors notice when they drive by, something your family actually uses. We've installed dozens of them across the area, and the feedback is always the same: it's the one upgrade that everyone assumes costs way more than it does. Whether you're in a newer section near Brook Run Park or closer to the Perimeter corridor, we can design a green that fits your lot, your sight lines, and your game.
Dunwoody sits on DeKalb clay, which is dense and doesn't drain as quickly as sandy soils you'd find further south. That matters for putting greens because proper base preparation is non-negotiable—we always install a perforated drainage layer under the turf to keep water from pooling, especially during Georgia's rainy spring months. Your lot probably has a mix of sun and shade, particularly if you're nestled among the mature trees common to Georgetown and Winters Chapel. Artificial turf is honestly perfect for shade situations because it doesn't thin out or go patchy like natural grass does. Most Dunwoody properties run 0.25 to 0.5 acres, which gives us plenty of space to work with a putting green without eating up your entire backyard. HOA landscape guidelines in many Dunwoody neighborhoods are reasonable about artificial turf, especially when it's a putting green rather than full-lawn replacement—we handle all those conversations for you. The clay base means we'll need to do some grading and compaction work, but that's standard for us. Installation typically takes 3-5 days depending on green size and site access.
Absolutely. Shade is actually one of the best reasons to choose artificial turf. Natural grass struggles under the tree canopy you'll find in Georgetown and Winters Chapel neighborhoods, but our turf stays vibrant year-round without sunlight. You'll get consistent playability even in low-light areas. The DeKalb clay base won't develop drainage issues either once we install proper underlayment.
Most do, and we've worked with several neighborhood associations in the area. Putting greens are typically viewed as landscape features or hardscape improvements rather than full-lawn replacements, which keeps them in compliance. We'll review your deed restrictions upfront and handle any submission paperwork. A few neighborhoods near Dunwoody Village have stricter rules, but we've never had a green rejected outright.
New construction lots here average 0.25 to 0.5 acres, so you've got options. Most greens we build range from 300 to 800 square feet—enough for a few holes and real practice value without dominating your yard. Even a modest 400-square-foot green becomes a conversation piece and actually gets used by families.
Not if we prep it correctly. Clay is dense, so we always install a perforated underdrain system to route water away. This is especially important during Georgia's wet springs. The turf itself drains quickly, and with proper grading, you won't see standing water. It's a standard part of our installation process in this area.
