Fire Pit Area — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A lot of our Lithonia clients tell us the same thing: they want a backyard space that actually gets used year-round, not just on the rare Georgia weekend when the weather cooperates. That's where a putting green comes in—especially paired with a fire pit area where you can hang out after work or entertain friends on those pleasant evenings near Arabia Mountain. Here's what makes this combination special in Lithonia: you're not fighting the soggy, clay-heavy soil that plagues a lot of East DeKalb. Instead, we work with the granite bedrock that runs through neighborhoods like Downtown Lithonia and the Stonecrest area. That means your turf installation sits on stable, well-draining ground. A putting green gives you that resort-quality aesthetic and a genuine reason to spend time outside, while a fire pit turns your yard into a gathering spot. We've installed dozens of these setups across DeKalb County, and we know exactly how to handle Lithonia's unique conditions—no guesswork, no shortcuts.
Lithonia's soil composition is honestly one of your advantages. That granite outcrop running through the area means drainage isn't the nightmare it is in other parts of DeKalb County. When we install a putting green here, we're building on solid footing—literally. The clay that does exist sits on top of stable substrate, so settling and movement are minimal compared to neighborhoods closer to downtown Atlanta. Sun exposure varies depending on whether you're in the Stonecrest area or closer to Downtown Lithonia. Some yards here get afternoon shade from mature oaks, which actually helps during Georgia's hot summers—your turf won't bake out as quickly. If your property backs up to any of the wooded sections near Arabia Mountain, expect some tree coverage. The putting green itself should be positioned where it gets at least 6–8 hours of direct sun; we'll work around existing trees rather than remove them. HOA guidelines in Lithonia neighborhoods tend to be reasonable about backyard improvements, but we always confirm before breaking ground. Most residential lots here are large enough to accommodate both a quality putting green and a small fire pit area without feeling cramped.
Actually, it works in your favor. That granite bedrock means excellent drainage and minimal settling over time. We don't need extensive grading work like you'd see in clay-heavy areas. We still prepare the subbase properly, but the stable ground underneath means your green stays level and plays consistent. It's one reason Lithonia properties tend to have longer-lasting turf installations.
Absolutely, as long as we space them thoughtfully. We typically position the fire pit 12–15 feet from the green, with proper clearance for safety and wind patterns. The putting green surface itself isn't affected by heat or smoke at that distance. In fact, many of our Lithonia clients love having them close enough to walk between spaces but far enough to keep everything separate.
Georgia sun is intense, but modern synthetic putting green turf is built for it. We choose materials rated for UV stability and heat tolerance. If your Stonecrest or Downtown Lithonia yard gets blasted afternoon sun, we might recommend slightly thicker pile or a backing that handles temperature swings. We'll assess your specific exposure and match the turf spec to your site.
Most installations take 3–5 days, depending on lot size and how much prep work the granite-based soil needs. Since we're just 35 minutes away, we can schedule efficiently and handle any questions that pop up during the process. We'll give you a firm timeline once we walk your property.
