New Construction Home — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Building a new home in Lithonia? One of the smartest moves you can make for your yard is installing pet turf before you even move in. We've worked with plenty of new construction homeowners in the Stonecrest area and Downtown Lithonia neighborhoods, and we've seen firsthand how much easier life gets when your landscape is ready from day one—especially if you've got dogs or cats. Here's the thing: that clay soil near Arabia Mountain and the granite outcrops in East DeKalb can be challenging for natural grass. It compacts hard, drains poorly, and your pets' paws turn your yard into a mud pit within weeks. Pet turf solves that problem completely. You get a clean, durable surface that handles paw traffic, drainage works perfectly, and there's zero mud tracked into your new home. Plus, you're not dealing with bare patches, dead spots, or the constant cycle of reseeding that plagues natural lawns in our area. Our team gets to Lithonia regularly—about 35 minutes from our operation—so scheduling new construction installs works seamlessly with your builder's timeline. We can coordinate with your landscaper, work around foundation curing, and have everything in place before closing day. Your new yard will be pet-ready, low-maintenance, and built to last through Georgia's heat and humidity.
Lithonia's soil composition is unique. That East DeKalb clay mixed with the granite geology around Arabia Mountain means your natural yard would struggle. Clay compacts under pet traffic, creates standing water in heavy rain, and becomes rock-hard in summer heat. Pet artificial turf bypasses all of that. We install a proper drainage base—essential here—so water moves through instead of pooling on top. The neighborhoods around Stonecrest and Downtown Lithonia have varying yard sizes, but most new construction homes have decent backyards where pets actually have room to roam. Sun exposure varies too. If your lot faces the granite outcrops or sits in shade from mature trees, that's less UV stress on the turf and more comfort for your pets during those hot Georgia summers. One thing to confirm early: check if your HOA has landscape guidelines. Some communities have rules about artificial surfaces, though most are fine with pet turf since it looks natural and maintains property values. We handle those conversations regularly and can show your HOA manager samples if needed. Installation timing matters with new construction—we want the base graded and settled before we lay turf, so coordinate with your builder's grading phase for best results.
Absolutely. In fact, clay soil is exactly why pet turf works so well here. Instead of fighting that heavy East DeKalb clay, we install a proper drainage base system that lets water move through. Your pets get a clean, mud-free surface year-round, and you don't deal with the compaction issues that destroy natural grass in our area.
Yes—and it's actually ideal. We coordinate with your builder's timeline, installing after grading but before closing. This means your yard is finished, pet-ready, and maintenance-free from day one. No waiting for grass to establish or dealing with muddy backyards while you're settling in.
Pet turf is built for this. We use materials rated for high-traffic areas and Georgia's summer temperatures. The drainage system handles our humid climate, and the surface stays cool underfoot. Dogs won't create bare spots or dig up the turf like they do with natural grass.
Pricing depends on your yard size and site conditions. Most new construction homes in the Stonecrest and Downtown Lithonia areas run 1,500 to 4,000 square feet of usable space. We provide detailed quotes after measuring your lot. Installation is faster and cleaner on new construction than retrofits, which can save money.
