Dog Yard — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A putting green in your Morrow backyard isn't just a nice-to-have anymore—it's become one of the smartest upgrades homeowners around Clayton State and the Southlake Mall area are making. We've installed dozens of them across Clayton County, and we've learned what works in this specific corner of Georgia. The clay soil here, the summer heat, and the way Morrow yards are typically laid out all play a role in how we design and build your green. Unlike a generic turf install, a putting green demands precision: proper base work to handle our clay, the right grass blend for our humidity and sun patterns, and drainage that actually works when those Georgia rains hit. Most of our Morrow clients are drawn to putting greens because they want a backyard that serves double duty—a beautiful focal point and a space where dogs can actually play without destroying the landscape. We handle both those needs in one install. Our team is based just a half-hour away, so we're familiar with neighborhood layouts, what the local HOAs typically approve, and which yards around here need extra attention before we even lay down turf.
Clayton County's clay-heavy soil is beautiful to look at but challenging to work with, especially for something as precision-focused as a putting green. We don't just lay turf over existing ground in Morrow—we prepare a proper base that lets water drain without pooling, which matters because our clay tends to hold moisture. The summer sun here is intense, particularly in yards facing south or west around the Southlake area, so we recommend grass blends that handle both heat and partial shade depending on your specific lot. Morrow's commercial corridor means some properties have unique lot shapes and mature tree coverage we have to work around. Most residential yards in this zip code sit in the 0.25- to 0.5-acre range, which gives us enough room for a quality 300–600 square-foot green without overwhelming the space. If you've got dogs, the base preparation becomes even more critical—proper compaction and drainage prevent digging damage and keep the surface playable year-round. We've also found that HOA approval in Clayton County goes smoother when we present detailed plans, so we handle that conversation upfront and include it in our design process.
Yes, but it's manageable with the right approach. Clayton County's clay needs aggressive base prep—we excavate deeper than standard turf installs, add drainage rock, and sometimes install perimeter drains to handle water movement. It costs a bit more upfront, but it prevents the soggy, unplayable conditions that kill putting greens in clay areas. We've done this enough times in Morrow that we know exactly what thickness and material mix works.
Not if it's installed correctly. We use a pet-specific backing that resists urine damage, proper infill, and solid base compaction that prevents digging through to soil. Dogs playing on a well-built green actually keep it cleaner than a natural lawn—easier to clean up waste, no muddy paws, and the surface stays firm. We see this work great in yards around Clayton State and throughout Morrow.
Ideally 4–6 hours of direct sun daily, though some modern grass blends handle 3–4 hours in partial shade. Morrow lots vary widely—some in the Southlake area get afternoon western sun, others have tree coverage that changes seasonally. We assess your specific yard during the consultation and recommend the grass type and placement that'll perform best year-round.
We typically schedule a site visit within a week of your call, provide a design and quote within 3–5 days, and complete installation in 1–2 weeks depending on base work complexity. Clayton County's soil sometimes requires extra prep time, but we give you an honest timeline upfront so there are no surprises.
