New Construction — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
McDonough's new construction boom—especially in Eagle's Landing and Kelleytown—means a lot of fresh yards that need finishing touches. A putting green is one of those projects that transforms a blank canvas into something you'll actually use. We've installed dozens of them in Henry County over the last few years, and there's something satisfying about watching a homeowner step onto their own backyard green for the first time. The clay soil here drains differently than you'd expect, and the Georgia sun can be intense in summer, so the right turf choice and installation approach matter. Most new construction lots in McDonough give you decent space to work with, whether you're carving out a 400-square-foot practice green near the patio or going bigger. Our team makes the 45-minute drive out regularly—we know the neighborhoods, the HOA expectations around Heritage Park and McDonough Square, and how to build greens that hold up to our climate and actually drain properly in heavy rain.
Henry County clay is dense and compacts easily, which actually works in your favor for putting-green base prep if you do it right. Most new construction homes in Eagle's Landing and Kelleytown sit on lots with good afternoon sun exposure, but you'll want to assess shade from new trees and neighbors' structures before you finalize placement. The clay means we spend extra time on drainage layers—standing water in McDonough's summer heat kills turf fast. We typically install a perforated base system that routes water away from the playing surface without requiring you to slope the green too aggressively. HOA rules in the rapid-growth subdivisions here are generally permissive about backyard putting greens, but we always check first. Lot sizes vary—some newer builds in Kelleytown are more compact, so we design greens that maximize usability in tighter footprints. Summer afternoon temps push into the 90s regularly, so we spec turf that handles heat without burning out. Installation usually runs 3–5 days depending on size and whether you're adding bunkers or multiple tiers.
Absolutely. McDonough's Henry County clay compacts hard and drains slowly, so we build a engineered base system with perforated layers underneath the turf to move water away from the playing surface. Skipping this step means puddles after rain and dead spots in summer. We've done enough installs here that we know exactly how thick the drain rock needs to be.
Most new construction homes have room for a 300–600 square foot green, which gives you two or three distinct holes and decent practice space. Smaller lots can work with 200–300 square feet if you do a creative shape. We'll walk your lot and show you options—no two yards are identical, especially in our rapid-growth neighborhoods.
McDonough summers are brutal on cheap turf. We install premium synthetic that's heat-resistant and UV-stabilized so it won't fade or soften in afternoon sun. It'll stay firm and true even in July and August, which is what you want on a green.
Not typically. We work in Eagle's Landing, Kelleytown, and other Henry County subdivisions regularly without pushback on putting greens. We always check your specific HOA docs first—some have minor sight-line rules—but nine times out of ten, you're good to go.
