Clay Soil — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
McDonough's boom in new construction—especially across Eagle's Landing and Kelleytown—means a lot of homeowners are finishing backyards that were raw clay just months ago. That's actually perfect timing for a putting green. Unlike seeded grass, which fights Henry County's heavy clay soil every growing season, artificial turf doesn't care about drainage problems or compacted earth. You get a playable, maintenance-free green that handles Georgia's heat and humidity without turning brown in July or getting waterlogged after a thunderstorm. We've installed putting greens in dozens of McDonough yards, and the same thing surprises every homeowner: they use it way more than they expected. Whether you're near Heritage Park or back in one of the newer subdivisions, a custom putting green can turn a neglected corner of your yard into something your family actually plays on. No watering. No mowing. No excuses to skip practice.
Henry County clay is dense and drains poorly—that's the main reason so many McDonough homeowners give up on maintaining traditional lawns in their backyard play areas. Artificial putting green turf solves that problem completely. Since we're installing over clay, proper base preparation matters. We use a crushed stone and gravel base that sits directly on your existing soil; no digging out the clay necessary. Sun exposure varies wildly in Eagle's Landing and Kelleytown depending on tree coverage and lot orientation, but our turf performs under both full sun and partial shade without fading or matting. Most McDonough lots are between a quarter and half acre, so a 300–600 square foot putting green fits naturally without dominating your landscape. We've also worked with several HOA communities in the area—make sure to check your covenants first, though most allow artificial turf for recreational features. The clay base actually helps stabilize the turf over time, and our installation crew has the local experience to handle McDonough's specific grading and drainage patterns.
No. We actually use your existing clay as a foundation. We prep the clay with proper grading and drainage rock, then install the green directly on top. This saves time and money while giving you a stable, long-lasting base. Henry County clay is dense enough to prevent shifting—that's an advantage we work with, not against.
Absolutely. Our turf is designed for partial shade and performs well with 4–6 hours of sunlight daily. If you're in a heavily wooded lot, we can work with you to position the green in the sunniest available spot. We've installed greens all over McDonough under varying light conditions without durability issues.
Pricing depends on size, base preparation, and complexity. A 400-square-foot green typically runs between $4,000 and $7,000 installed. McDonough lots often have straightforward installations since most are relatively flat, which keeps labor costs reasonable. Contact us for a free estimate based on your specific yard.
Check your covenants first—most McDonough HOAs allow artificial turf for recreational use, but some have restrictions. We recommend reviewing your documents or asking your HOA before scheduling installation. We're happy to discuss what's typical in Eagle's Landing and Kelleytown communities if you're unsure.
