Holiday Ready — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A putting green in your Lithonia backyard isn't just about golf anymore—it's become the centerpiece of holiday gatherings, a place where neighbors stop by to challenge each other to a few holes, and honestly, a reason to stay outside even in cooler months. We've installed dozens of these across DeKalb County, from Downtown Lithonia to the Stonecrest area, and we've learned what actually works on the granite-influenced clay soil around here. The thing about East DeKalb is that your yard probably drains differently than yards just a few miles over, and that matters when you're building something designed to roll true year-round. Holiday season is prime time—families want something ready for December gatherings, New Year's tournaments with friends, and those January weekends when the weather's perfect but the grass courses are crowded. We can have your green installed and ready well before the holidays roll around, and it'll look sharp for years without the maintenance headaches of real turf in our climate.
Lithonia's soil composition—that clay-heavy mix sitting near the granite outcrop—actually works in your favor for putting green installation. Unlike yards with sandy loam, our clay base provides excellent drainage when properly graded, and the natural firmness means your green won't settle unevenly over time. The granite bedrock nearby means you're on stable ground; we don't see the shifting and settling problems in this area that plague some other neighborhoods. Sun exposure varies significantly between Downtown Lithonia and the Stonecrest side, so we'll assess your specific lot during the site visit. Some yards get afternoon shade from mature oaks, others sit in open sun until 5 p.m.—both work fine, but they inform which infill materials and grass blade heights we recommend. Most residential lots in your area range from half-acre to two acres, which gives us room to build greens between 400 and 1,200 square feet. The Stonecrest area tends toward slightly larger properties, so custom contours and multiple elevation breaks are common there. Installation timeline is typically 5-7 days depending on site prep, and our crew is based just 35 minutes away in the LawnLogic service area.
Actually, no. Clay compacts and holds firm, which is ideal for a stable green surface. We slope the base layer properly and use engineered perforated backing so water moves through, not across your green. The granite bedrock underneath means you're not dealing with the settling issues some softer clay areas face. We've never had drainage complaints in the Stonecrest or Downtown Lithonia areas.
We typically complete installation in 5-7 days from start to finish. If you call us soon, we can absolutely have your green playable by November and in perfect condition for December entertaining. Our team is based 35 minutes away, so scheduling is flexible. We recommend calling before mid-October to guarantee holiday-season availability.
Yes. We assess your sun patterns during the site visit—some yards get afternoon shade from mature oaks, which actually keeps the surface cooler and reduces algae growth in humid months. Artificial turf doesn't require photosynthesis like real grass, so 4-6 hours of indirect light is plenty. We'll recommend the right grass pile height for your specific light conditions.
Minimal. Blow off debris weekly, rinse occasionally during our humid months, and brush the pile every few weeks if you're very detail-oriented. Unlike natural greens at local courses, you're not dealing with fertilizing, fungus treatments, or seasonal dormancy. Most Lithonia homeowners spend 30 minutes a month on maintenance, max.
