Backyard — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Backyard putting greens have become the go-to weekend project for Jonesboro homeowners who want to skip the drive to the course and practice right at home. Whether you're in the tree-lined neighborhoods near Downtown Jonesboro or out toward the Tara Boulevard area, a quality artificial putting surface transforms unused lawn space into a real asset—one that handles our Georgia humidity and Clayton County clay without the constant maintenance headaches. We've installed dozens of these greens across the south metro, and the pattern is always the same: homeowners are shocked at how much they actually use them once they're in. You're not just getting a novelty feature; you're getting a legitimate short-game practice tool that works year-round, drains properly in our subtropical climate, and looks sharp whether neighbors are admiring it from the street or you're hosting a backyard tournament with friends. The best part? A well-built putting green doesn't compete with your lawn—it complements it, giving you that manicured, resort-quality look without watering bills or mowing schedules.
Jonesboro sits on that heavy Clayton County clay, which is actually perfect for putting green installation—we just need to handle drainage the right way. The clay base means we're grading carefully and installing a solid sub-base so water doesn't pool during our summer thunderstorms or the occasional spring downpour. Sun exposure varies across town depending on your tree canopy. Homes near Stately Oaks and in established neighborhoods often have mature oak and pine coverage, which is great for keeping afternoon heat down but means we're strategizing hole placement to maximize playable light. Most Jonesboro yards run 0.25 to 0.5 acres, giving us solid room for an 800–1,200 square foot green without eating your entire backyard. We also pay attention to slopes—the natural terrain in this area isn't totally flat, so we're using that grade to our advantage, creating natural water runoff and making the green more interesting to play. If your property backs to a wooded area or has privacy fencing, we're factoring sight lines so your green feels like a destination, not an afterthought shoved in the corner.
Not at all. Modern artificial turf handles Georgia humidity better than natural grass ever could. The synthetic fibers we use actually shed moisture quickly, which means no fungal issues or mushy spots like you'd get on a real green during our hot, wet summers. Drainage is engineered so water moves through the base, not on top of it—critical in Clayton County with all our afternoon storms.
Most do, especially if it's tastefully done and integrated into your landscape design. We've worked with several Downtown Jonesboro and Tara Boulevard area communities, and the key is keeping it looking professional, not like a gimmick. Screening with plantings, proper edging, and quality materials make all the difference. We handle all the aesthetic details so it fits your neighborhood.
A typical backyard green—let's say 1,000 square feet—takes 3–5 days from start to finish. Day one is grading and base prep (crucial on our clay). Days two and three involve sub-base and drainage setup. Days four and five are turf installation and finishing. Weather can add a day or two if we get heavy rain, but the timeline is straightforward.
Maintenance is minimal compared to a real green. You'll brush it occasionally to keep the nap standing upright, and light rinses after heavy pollen season help it stay visually sharp. Winter brings fewer demands—no watering, no fertilizing, no aeration. It's genuinely one of the lowest-maintenance landscape upgrades you can make.
