Base Prep — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A putting green in your Morrow backyard isn't just a luxury—it's a smart investment for homeowners in Clayton County who want to enjoy year-round golf without the membership fees. Whether you're near Southlake Mall or closer to Clayton State University, we've installed dozens of practice greens throughout the area, and we've learned what works in our local climate and soil. The thing about Morrow is that most yards have that dense, heavy clay base, which actually gives us a solid foundation to work with once we handle the prep correctly. Your neighbors are doing this—families in the neighborhoods around here are turning underused corners of their yards into functional greens that hold up beautifully through Georgia summers and winters. We handle everything from drainage planning to the final fringe work, and we can be at your Morrow property within 30 minutes from our headquarters to walk through a site assessment. The base prep is where the real difference shows up months down the road, and that's exactly what we focus on.
Clayton County's clay-heavy soil is the first thing to understand about your putting green installation. That clay compacts hard and doesn't drain naturally, so any green we build in Morrow needs a proper base system—not a shortcut. We typically excavate 6–8 inches, lay a perforated drainage layer, and add a gravel bed that handles Georgia's rainfall without turning your green into a bog. Sun exposure varies wildly depending on whether you're in the Southlake Mall corridor or tucked into a more residential neighborhood. Some yards get brutal afternoon heat; others are shaded by mature trees. We'll assess your specific microclimate during the walkthrough because orientation and shade patterns directly affect turf selection and maintenance. Most Morrow properties we work on range from 400 to 800 square feet for a functional putting green—enough for real practice, not so large that upkeep becomes a weekend job. HOA rules here are usually reasonable about amenity installations, but we always confirm before breaking ground. The key difference between a green that lasts 10 years and one that looks rough by year two is that base prep and drainage—especially here in Clayton County where the soil wants to hold water.
Clayton County doesn't typically require permits for residential putting greens under 1,000 square feet, but HOA approval is often necessary depending on your neighborhood. We handle all the paperwork and coordinate with your HOA if needed. Best practice: we confirm local requirements before scheduling your installation.
Clay is dense and sheds water instead of absorbing it, so we always build a multilayered base with perforated drainage pipe and gravel. This prevents pooling and keeps your green playable year-round. Without proper drainage prep, a Morrow green will fail fast, which is why we never skip this step.
We typically recommend Bermuda-blend synthetic turf for Morrow because it handles Georgia heat, tolerates partial shade, and holds up to regular use. It's durable enough for putting practice but still drains quickly. We'll match it to your sun exposure during the site visit.
Most residential putting greens take 3–5 days from base prep through final fringe installation. We'll give you an exact timeline after the walkthrough. Weather can add a day or two, but we factor Clayton County's soil conditions into our scheduling to keep delays minimal.
