Weekend Install — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A lot of Lithonia homeowners we work with have the same dream: a backyard putting green that actually looks and plays like the real thing, ready to use the moment the weekend hits. Whether you're in Downtown Lithonia, over near the Stonecrest area, or anywhere in between, we get it—your yard is your retreat, and weekend golf practice beats driving across town. The good news? A professional putting green installation doesn't have to eat up your whole weekend or leave your yard torn apart for weeks. We've installed dozens of these across DeKalb County, and we know how to get your green in the ground quickly without the typical construction headaches. Your neighbors at Arabia Mountain and around the Mall at Stonecrest have already figured out that a quality artificial putting surface pays for itself in use and resale appeal. The Lithonia clay soil and East DeKalb granite outcrops actually give us some advantages—better drainage planning, more predictable subsurface conditions—which means faster, smarter installations. We can typically complete a weekend-ready putting green in one or two visits, depending on your space and what you want. Let's talk about what your perfect backyard green looks like.
Lithonia's soil is no joke—you're sitting on that classic East DeKalb clay with granite bedrock not far below, especially if you're closer to Arabia Mountain. That sounds complicated, but it's actually helpful for us. Clay compacts predictably, which means we don't waste time guessing about settling or drainage surprises after installation. We grade and prepare your base layer with that geology in mind, so your putting surface stays level year after year. The neighborhoods around Downtown Lithonia and Stonecrest tend to have a nice mix of yard sizes—some tighter urban lots, some with more room to work. Sun exposure varies too. If your property faces the Stonecrest direction, you might get afternoon heat; properties tucked under tree cover need a different turf blend. We always scout your yard first to understand the light patterns and soil conditions before we quote. Drainage here is critical because clay holds water, and a putting green needs to shed rain fast so it's playable the next morning. We install a proper subsurface system—not a shortcut base—that handles DeKalb's typical rainfall without pooling. HOA rules in some Stonecrest-area developments require approval for landscape changes, so we'll help you document everything properly.
Yes, for most residential greens in the 30038 and 30058 zip codes. A typical 300–500 sq ft green takes us one day once site prep is complete. We do ground work first—sometimes a week before—to let the clay base settle, then finish the surface and turf in your weekend window. That way you're not living in a construction zone, and your green is ready to play almost immediately.
Actually, it helps. The granite outcrop we see in East DeKalb creates stable, predictable soil. We don't have unpredictable settling issues like you might see in other regions. Our subsurface drainage system—which we build to handle clay's water retention—works beautifully in Lithonia. You end up with a green that stays level and drains properly.
Tree cover is common in both areas. Putting green turf needs some light, but we have shade-tolerant blends that thrive under canopy coverage. We assess your sun hours during the site visit and recommend the right turf type—whether that's a sun blend or shade blend. Some customers also thin out branches strategically for better light and air flow.
It depends on your neighborhood. Stonecrest-area developments sometimes have landscape guidelines, while Downtown Lithonia lots are often more flexible. We handle documentation and photos for HOA submissions if needed. Most approvals come through without issues since a well-designed green actually improves curb appeal and property value.
