New Construction Home — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Building a new home in Lithia Springs? Congratulations—you're joining one of Douglas County's most desirable communities, and you've got a real opportunity to design your outdoor space the right way from day one. A lot of new construction homeowners here think about the house first, the landscaping second. But here's what we've learned installing putting greens across the Lithia Springs area: the homes that hold their value and feel complete are the ones where the yard was planned as intentionally as the kitchen. A backyard putting green isn't just a luxury anymore—it's a lifestyle feature that turns your yard into an actual destination. Think morning coffee while practicing your short game, or weekend gatherings where guests remember your place for that incredible green in the backyard. In Lithia Springs, where many lots back up to or sit near Sweetwater Creek State Park's natural landscape, a well-designed putting green complements the area's natural beauty instead of fighting against it. We're just 25 minutes away in our service area, and we've helped dozens of new construction buyers in your neighborhood plan greens that fit the lot, the soil conditions, and the lifestyle they're building. Let's talk about making your new yard work as hard as your new home.
Lithia Springs sits on west metro clay soil—the kind of dense, drainage-challenged base that catches a lot of new construction builders off guard. If you're planning a putting green, this clay is actually an advantage for us, not a problem. Clay compacts well and holds the subsurface structure we need. That said, proper drainage is non-negotiable here. We install perforated backing and gravel base layers designed specifically for clay-heavy lots like yours. The creek influence in the area means your lot may have shade patterns that shift seasonally—especially if you're near tree coverage from the Sweetwater corridor. We'll assess your sun exposure before recommending turf type; some new builds in Lithia Springs get morning sun and afternoon shade, which changes the maintenance profile. Most residential lots in the 30122 ZIP code run 0.25 to 0.5 acres, so we're typically working with compact backyard spaces where every square foot counts. That actually makes putting greens perfect—they maximize usable entertaining space without taking over your entire yard. New construction homes here often have builder-grade sod or clay-only backyards, so we're starting from scratch, which means we can build your green into the grading plan rather than retrofitting it later. Hardscape and slope matter; we'll work with your builder's grading to ensure water moves away from your home foundation while keeping your green playable.
Yes—clay is actually ideal because it compacts and holds structure. The key is subsurface prep. We install a perforated drain layer and engineered base that sits above the clay, then slope the green slightly away from your home's foundation. We've done this on dozens of Lithia Springs properties without drainage issues. It's the homes that skip the proper base layer that end up with problems.
Most Lithia Springs lots get 4–6 hours of direct sun, especially if you're near Sweetwater Creek's tree coverage. We can work with that. We'll assess your specific shade patterns and recommend turf accordingly. If your lot has significant afternoon shade, we'll choose a blend that thrives in partial sun rather than forcing full-sun turf into a shady spot.
Build it during construction—that's actually ideal. We coordinate with your builder's grading plan so drainage and slope work together from the start. Retrofitting a green after the house is done is possible but more complicated. Since you're in new construction, now's the time to integrate it into your overall lot plan.
Most new construction lots in your neighborhood support a 400–800 square foot green comfortably. That's roughly 20 by 30 to 30 by 30 feet—enough for a legitimate short game practice space and entertaining area without overwhelming your backyard. We'll measure your space and show you layout options before installation.
