Drainage Solutions — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A putting green in your McDonough backyard isn't just a luxury—it's a practical way to enjoy the space you've invested in. Whether you're in Eagle's Landing, near Heritage Park, or one of the newer subdivisions filling up Henry County, having a dedicated short-game area means you're actually using your yard year-round instead of watching it sit idle. We've installed dozens of these in the McDonough area, and the homeowners tell us the same thing: it transforms how they think about their outdoor space. You get the practice you want without the hassle of maintaining real grass in our clay-heavy soil, and unlike a full lawn, a putting green is low-stress and built to last. The drainage we engineer into every installation means you're not dealing with puddles after our typical summer downpours. Most folks around Kelleytown and the surrounding neighborhoods find that a well-designed green becomes the centerpiece of their backyard—the thing guests actually want to spend time around. We handle the entire process, from site assessment to final leveling, making sure your green integrates seamlessly with your existing landscape and actually performs the way you want it to.
McDonough sits on dense Henry County clay, which is a major factor in how we design putting-green drainage. Standard clay soil doesn't percolate water quickly, so every installation we do here includes a engineered base layer system that prevents pooling—especially critical given how much rain we get during Georgia's summer months. The subdivisions around Eagle's Landing and toward Heritage Park tend to have varied lot sizes, but most residential yards have enough space for a 400–600 square-foot green without feeling cramped. Sun exposure varies significantly depending on mature tree cover; properties closer to the newer developments often have more direct afternoon sun, while established neighborhoods may have heavier shade patterns. We account for both when selecting turf type and slope. Henry County HOA rules differ by neighborhood, so we always pull local deed restrictions before breaking ground—some communities have landscape guidelines you'll want to confirm. The rapid-growth nature of these subdivisions means soil compaction and grading are often uneven from construction, which we correct during installation. Our timeline from consultation to completion typically runs 2–3 weeks, depending on site prep complexity.
Henry County typically doesn't require a permit for a backyard putting green since it's landscape improvement, not a structure. That said, check with your specific HOA—subdivisions like Eagle's Landing sometimes have approval processes for major yard modifications. We can guide you through the HOA submission if needed and have done this for dozens of McDonough installations.
Clay drains slowly, which is exactly why we engineer a sloped base with a perforated pipe system underneath every green we install here. This keeps water from pooling during our humid summers. Without proper drainage infrastructure, you'd have a muddy mess after heavy rain. We build this into every McDonough project because we've seen what happens without it.
Most yards in this area work well with 400–600 square feet, which gives you realistic practice distances without overwhelming the space. Lot sizes vary, especially between Eagle's Landing and older Kelleytown neighborhoods, so we assess your specific layout. Even a 300-square-foot green delivers solid practice value if that's all the space allows.
We typically complete a McDonough putting green in 2–3 weeks, depending on site grading and soil conditions. Since we're 45 minutes away, we schedule efficiently to minimize multiple trips. Heavy clay prep or complex drainage work can extend the timeline slightly, but we give you a clear estimate upfront.
