Summer Install — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Your backyard in Dunwoody deserves better than a patchy lawn that turns brown the second summer heat hits. A custom putting green transforms that corner near your patio—or your whole yard—into something you'll actually use year-round. We've installed dozens of greens across Georgetown, Winters Chapel, and Dunwoody Village, and here's what we've learned: homeowners love them because they're maintenance-free, they look incredible, and they finally give that shaded spot under the oak trees a real purpose. Summer is prime installation season in the Atlanta area, and Dunwoody's suburban lots are perfect for this kind of upgrade. Unlike natural grass, artificial putting surfaces handle the heat, humidity, and occasional drought without dying back or developing bare patches. The clay-heavy soil we deal with here in DeKalb County actually makes turf installation easier—better drainage, more stable base—and our crew can knock out most residential greens in just a few days. No watering. No fertilizer. No regrets.
Dunwoody sits on dense DeKalb clay, which is a blessing and a curse. The clay provides excellent stability for turf base layers, but it doesn't drain naturally, so proper grading and subsurface prep are non-negotiable during installation. Most properties in Georgetown and around Winters Chapel have mature trees, which means shade coverage varies wildly across a single lot. Our crews account for this by selecting turf pile heights and infill materials that perform well in partial shade—something cheap, mail-order systems don't consider. Your neighborhood's lot sizes (typically a quarter-acre to half-acre) leave plenty of room for a functional 200–400 square foot green without feeling cramped. Summer installations matter here because the heat helps the base settle faster and gives the turf time to acclimate before fall. HOA rules in some Dunwoody neighborhoods restrict certain landscaping changes, so we always verify deed restrictions upfront. One more thing: because of the clay and summer thunderstorms, we ensure proper edge banding and drainage channels to prevent standing water—something that matters more in DeKalb than it does in sandier Georgia counties.
Absolutely. Georgetown and Winters Chapel have plenty of tree cover, and modern turf handles 4–6 hours of indirect light without issue. We avoid the shadiest spots (under dense pines all day), but most Dunwoody properties have a sweet spot that gets morning or afternoon sun. If you're uncertain, we do a quick site visit to map sun patterns before quoting.
Not at all—summer's actually ideal. Heat helps the base compact and the turf fibers relax into place. The real benefit: by fall, your green is fully settled. We've installed through dozens of DeKalb summers with zero issues. Just avoid heavy foot traffic for the first week while the infill material settles.
DeKalb clay is actually favorable. It compacts firmly, creating a stable, long-lasting base. The tradeoff is drainage: we always install proper grading and perimeter channels so water doesn't pool. It's extra work, but it's what keeps greens playable during our humid summers and spring rains.
Most residential greens (300–500 square feet) take 2–3 days from site prep to finish. We're based about 28 minutes from Dunwoody, so scheduling is flexible. Summer slots fill fast, so we recommend booking by late May if you want July or August installation.
