Vs Concrete — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Dunwoody homeowners know the struggle: you've got a vision for that perfect putting green in your backyard, but Georgia's clay soil and the shade from mature trees around Georgetown and Winters Chapel make maintaining natural grass feel impossible. Concrete patios might look clean, but they're hot, hard on your joints, and they don't give you that lush, playable surface you actually want. That's where artificial turf for putting greens comes in. Unlike concrete, synthetic turf feels natural underfoot, stays cool in summer heat, and gives you a genuinely functional space—not just a hard pad. We've installed putting greens across DeKalb County for homeowners who were tired of fighting the clay, dealing with shade patches, and spending weekends on lawn maintenance. Your yard in Dunwoody Village or near Brook Run Park can have that country club feel without the upkeep. And unlike pouring concrete and regretting it later, our turf is reversible, customizable, and built to handle the humid Georgia climate without the drainage headaches that plague so many yards here.
Dunwoody's landscape presents some real quirks. That DeKalb clay soil? It holds water like a sponge and creates drainage nightmares—especially in the 30338 and 30346 zip codes where lot sizes tend to be moderate and tree cover is heavy. This is actually where artificial turf shines. Concrete would just sit there collecting water after rain; turf systems we install have proper sub-base and drainage that keeps water moving. Shade is another big factor. Georgetown and Winters Chapel have mature oak and pine stands that filter sunlight beautifully for summer relief but murder any putting green that needs 4+ hours of direct sun. Our synthetic options don't care. They maintain consistent color and playability in 40% shade just as well as full sun—something natural grass simply can't do in this region. Lot sizes in the area tend toward quarter-acre to half-acre residential properties, which means your putting green will likely be a focal point. We size and shape them to feel integrated with your landscape, not like an afterthought. HOA considerations matter too; many Dunwoody communities have specific landscaping guidelines, but artificial turf for recreational use almost always gets approval since it reduces water consumption and maintenance.
Yes—actually better than you'd think. We install a perforated sub-base under the turf that channels water away from clay and prevents pooling. Without that drainage layer, clay would trap water under concrete or natural grass. Our system engineering accounts for DeKalb County's heavy clay and the frequent rain you get in spring and summer. It's designed specifically for Georgia soil.
Absolutely. Shade is one of the biggest reasons homeowners choose synthetic over concrete or natural grass. Unlike real turf, which struggles with anything over 50% shade, our artificial putting greens perform identically in dappled light under oak trees or in full sun. If you're in Georgetown or along the Perimeter, shade is almost guaranteed—and it's perfect for turf.
Concrete is permanent, hot, and unforgiving on joints—especially if you're putting or practicing golf regularly. Turf looks like a real fairway, stays 10-15 degrees cooler in summer, and is easier on your knees and back. Plus, concrete cracks in freeze-thaw cycles. Turf? It just gets better with time. Installation is also faster and less disruptive than concrete work.
In our experience, yes. Most Dunwoody HOAs see turf greens as low-maintenance, water-efficient upgrades that improve aesthetics without the liability of concrete or the maintenance burden of natural grass. We handle documentation if needed, but we've rarely hit approval issues for putting greens in the 30360 or neighboring zip codes.
