Backyard — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A putting green in your Johns Creek backyard changes everything about how you spend your free time. Instead of heading to the course or the driving range, you've got tournament-quality short-game practice steps from your patio. The neighborhoods around Country Club of the South and St Ives are filled with homeowners who get it—they understand that a well-designed outdoor space adds real value and genuine enjoyment to daily life. Here's what makes this different from a typical lawn project: a putting green demands precision. The slope, the surface texture, the drainage underneath—all of it matters. We've installed dozens of these in the Johns Creek area, and we've learned exactly what works in Fulton County clay soil and the specific microclimates of upscale subdivisions here. Your neighbors might have beautiful natural grass, but a synthetic putting surface gives you something they don't: zero maintenance, year-round playability, and a surface that performs the same way every single time you step up to the ball. Our team knows Johns Creek from the ground up. We understand your HOA guidelines, we've worked around the trees near Newtown Park and Autrey Mill properties, and we know the drainage challenges that come with our local soil conditions. When we design your putting green, we're not working from a generic playbook—we're building something that fits your specific yard, your golf game, and your vision for outdoor living.
Johns Creek sits on heavy Fulton and Gwinnett clay, which sounds like bad news for drainage until you know how to work with it. Clay actually holds its shape beautifully once we've built the proper base and subsurface system. That said, we always install a perforated drainage layer beneath the putting surface to prevent water from pooling during Georgia's rainy springs and summers. The slope of your yard matters more here than it would in sandier soil—we'll grade carefully to ensure water moves away from your home foundation. Sun exposure varies dramatically across Johns Creek neighborhoods. Properties near Country Club of the South and St Ives often sit under mature oak and pine coverage, which looks gorgeous but affects turf performance. We select synthetic putting grass varieties that thrive in partial shade while still delivering that crisp, responsive feel. If your yard gets 4+ hours of direct sun, we can spec a firmer surface; shadier yards benefit from a slightly softer blend. Most homeowners in your area have yards large enough for a 300–500 square foot putting green, sometimes with chipping zones included. HOA covenants in these upscale subdivisions typically permit synthetic turf, but we always confirm your specific deed restrictions before we break ground. Installation takes 3–5 days depending on existing landscape features and any hardscape work—flagstone borders, bunker edging, or lighting are all popular additions in this market.
Absolutely. Clay is actually ideal once we build the right foundation. We excavate 4–6 inches, install a compacted base layer, add our drainage system, and then set the turf. The clay holds everything in place better than sandy soil would. Fulton County clay just needs respect for water management, which we handle through proper grading and subsurface drainage.
Most do, but every property is different. We've worked extensively in both neighborhoods and know the landscape committees well. Before any project begins, we review your deed and get written approval if needed. It's a quick step that saves headaches later.
We spec our turf blend based on your specific sun hours. If you've got mature oaks overhead, we choose a shade-tolerant synthetic grass that stays soft and responsive even with 3–4 hours of direct sun. It plays differently than full-sun turf, but it plays beautifully if we design for it.
Plan for 3–5 business days, depending on yard prep and any extra features like bunkers or lighting. We handle all excavation, base work, and drainage in-house. Our team works efficiently but never cuts corners—clay soil requires proper compaction, which takes time to do right.
