Zero Down — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A putting green in your Lithonia backyard sounds like a dream—and honestly, it's more achievable than you'd think. We've installed plenty of them across DeKalb County, and the neighborhoods around Downtown Lithonia and Stonecrest are perfect for it. Here's the thing: most yards in this area have decent space, and the east DeKalb clay soil, while tricky for natural grass, actually works great once we prep it right for artificial turf. You get a realistic, maintenance-free green that plays true year-round. No more watering, no more patchy spots from the humidity and heat we get here. Just roll out, practice your swing, and enjoy. We're based about 35 minutes away, so we're close enough to handle your install quickly and far enough to know exactly how Georgia weather affects outdoor surfaces. Whether you're in the Stonecrest area or closer to Arabia Mountain, we can build you something that'll make your neighbors jealous.
Lithonia sits on some challenging terrain—literally. That granite outcrop and clay soil near Arabia Mountain means drainage can be a real headache for natural grass. The good news? Artificial turf thrives here because we control the base completely. We install a proper sub-base that handles the clay and slopes water away from your foundation, which is critical in this part of DeKalb County where moisture buildup happens fast. Sun exposure varies a lot depending on whether you're in the tree-heavy neighborhoods or the more open Stonecrest side. We assess your specific yard's sun pattern before recommending grass pile height and density. The heat here is intense—we're talking mid-90s in summer—so we spec turf that doesn't retain excessive heat and won't degrade under UV exposure. Most Lithonia properties we work on have 200 to 600 square feet of usable green space, which is perfect for a practice green or small recreational area. HOA rules in some Stonecrest neighborhoods require approval, so we walk through that with you upfront.
Not if we install it right. The clay is actually why proper base preparation matters here. We use a compacted gravel and sand sublayer to manage drainage and prevent settling on that Lithonia clay. The turf itself sits above it all, so standing water and clay-related issues stay below surface. Your green will stay level and playable year after year.
Depends on size and site prep. A 300 sq ft green typically runs between $3,500 and $6,000 installed, including base work. Lithonia yards with better-prepped sites or less clay-moving required can be on the lower end. We provide a custom quote after measuring and walking your yard.
Some neighborhoods do, some don't. We've worked in both unrestricted and HOA-controlled areas around Stonecrest. If you're in a managed community, we'll help you submit the landscape modification request. Most HOAs approve putting greens as long as drainage and appearance meet standards—which ours do.
Our turf is rated for heat and UV. Yes, it gets hot here in Lithonia—we know that. We select materials with lower heat retention and recommend light-colored backing. You won't get that scorching surface that cheap turf gets. Your green stays playable even in peak summer.
