Side Yard — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Jonesboro homeowners know the struggle—that side yard between your house and the fence line sits there month after month, either patchy from our Georgia heat or turning into a muddy mess when the rains roll through. A putting green changes that whole dynamic. Instead of another patch of dead grass or a maintenance headache, you've got a genuine reason to step outside, practice your short game, and actually enjoy that forgotten corner of your property. We've installed dozens of these in the Tara Boulevard area and Downtown Jonesboro, and the response is always the same: people wish they'd done it sooner. The Clayton County clay soil that makes traditional lawns so finicky? That's actually perfect for a stable, well-draining turf base. Your side yard becomes functional, it looks sharp year-round, and your neighbors start asking questions. That's the real payoff.
Jonesboro's clay-heavy soil is both a challenge and an advantage. While it holds moisture and makes regular lawn care frustrating, it provides an incredibly stable foundation for artificial putting greens—no settling or shifting like you'd get in sandier areas. The key is proper base preparation and drainage. We typically build up a compacted stone base to handle our south-metro rainfall patterns, especially during spring storms when water pooling becomes an issue. Side yards in the 30236 and 30237 zip codes tend to fall into two categories: full-sun exposures (like those facing west toward the Tara Boulevard corridor) or partially shaded by mature trees. Full sun means your turf faces genuine UV exposure, so we spec premium materials built for that. Partial shade is actually more forgiving with our putting greens. Most Jonesboro properties have modest side-yard dimensions—typically 8 to 15 feet wide and 20 to 40 feet deep—which is ideal for a putting green sized at 300 to 600 square feet. That footprint fits the neighborhood aesthetics from Downtown Jonesboro to the outlying areas, and installation usually takes one day without major landscape disruption.
Not when it's installed correctly. The clay actually locks in place and prevents turf shift. We excavate to the right depth, install crushed stone base for water movement, and add a perforated drainage layer. Jonesboro's seasonal rain gets routed away cleanly. The clay becomes your friend instead of your enemy.
No. We've done installs throughout Downtown Jonesboro and the Tara Boulevard area, and they blend naturally. The turf looks like premium lawn, not artificial. Neighbors see it and ask for quotes. Most HOAs in the 30236 and 30237 areas welcome them as a landscape upgrade since they're maintained, green year-round, and eliminate the eyesore of struggling grass.
Most Jonesboro side yards have enough. A practical putting green runs 300 to 600 square feet—roughly 10×30 to 15×40 feet. That's enough for multiple hole placements and realistic short-game practice. Smaller spaces work too; it just means fewer layout options. We'll assess your side yard on the initial visit.
