Fixer Upper — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A putting green in your Lithonia backyard transforms a yard that's been neglected—or never quite worked out—into something you'll actually use. We see this all the time in the Stonecrest area and Downtown Lithonia neighborhoods: homeowners inherit patchy grass, deal with the clay-heavy soil that doesn't drain right, or just want a space that doesn't demand constant maintenance. Artificial putting turf is the answer that keeps showing up. It handles the humidity, doesn't fade in our Georgia sun the way you'd expect, and honestly, it's the kind of upgrade that makes you want to spend time outside again. We've been installing these greens across DeKalb County for years—from fixer-uppers on the edge of Arabia Mountain to yards in the newer Stonecrest developments. The turf looks real, plays consistently, and you won't be out there every Saturday trying to save dying grass. Whether you're tired of fighting clay or just ready to add something that raises your home's appeal, a putting green is practical and fun.
Lithonia's soil presents real challenges that artificial turf solves elegantly. That east DeKalb clay near the granite outcrop—the same geology that makes Arabia Mountain distinctive—doesn't drain well for natural grass. Water pools, moss creeps in, and you're fighting an uphill battle seasonally. Artificial putting turf bypasses all of that. The substrate we install underneath ensures proper drainage, so you won't see standing water even after our heavier Georgia summer storms. Sun exposure varies significantly depending on your lot's orientation and tree coverage, especially in neighborhoods closer to Arabia Mountain where mature oaks provide afternoon shade. The good news: modern turf performs beautifully in both full sun and partial shade—no brown patches from intense afternoon rays hitting exposed areas. Most Lithonia yards run small to medium residential size, which makes a 400–600 square foot putting green a realistic, high-impact project. Installation timing works best in spring or early fall; we typically complete a Lithonia job in 2–3 days. Local HOAs (particularly in Stonecrest developments) generally embrace turf installations as landscape improvements, though we always verify any covenants before we start.
Absolutely. Our turf is UV-stabilized to resist fading in Georgia heat and designed with drainage that manages humidity without algae buildup. The clay soil underneath gets a proper base layer, so moisture moves through instead of pooling. You'll see the same performance year-round whether it's July or February.
Yes. Partial shade is actually ideal for turf longevity—it reduces UV stress. As long as your green gets 3–4 hours of indirect light daily, the turf thrives. We assess shade patterns during consultation and position the green accordingly. Many Lithonia yards with mature oaks are perfect candidates.
A mid-sized green (500 sq ft) usually runs between $3,500–$6,500 depending on base prep complexity and turf grade. Lithonia's clay soil sometimes needs extra drainage work, but that's factored into the estimate. We provide a detailed quote after a site visit—no surprises.
Initial consultation and measurements take about an hour. Once you approve the design and we schedule, installation typically happens within 1–2 weeks. The actual install is 2–3 days. You can use the green immediately after we finish—no cure time required.
