Landscape Upgrade — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Stone Mountain homeowners have a particular challenge when it comes to traditional lawns. Between the clay-heavy soil that DeKalb County is known for and the unpredictable drainage patterns around the granite outcrop, getting grass to thrive here takes serious work—and even then, you're fighting an uphill battle. Add pets into the equation, and you're looking at bare patches, mud, and constant maintenance. That's where pet turf changes the game. Instead of spending weekends trying to repair what your dog has destroyed, you get a yard that actually holds up to real life. Whether you're in Stone Mountain Village or over in Smoke Rise, our team knows exactly how to work with your yard's specific conditions. We've installed pet-friendly artificial turf throughout DeKalb County, and we understand that what works in one neighborhood might need tweaking in another. Your lawn should be a place where your family and pets can play without turning into a mud pit after rain or developing dead zones where Fido does his business. Pet turf gives you that freedom—a durable, safe surface that drains properly even with our clay-based soil, stays green year-round, and requires virtually no upkeep. No more seeding, no more fertilizer runoff, and no more worrying about whether your yard can handle another season of paws and play.
Stone Mountain's landscape presents some unique installation considerations that we've learned to navigate over years of local work. The DeKalb clay soil here doesn't drain like sandy soils in other parts of Georgia, which is why proper base preparation is absolutely critical for pet turf. We build in a gravel and crushed stone foundation that accounts for our area's moisture patterns—this prevents pooling and ensures water moves through efficiently, even after heavy rain. The granite outcrop that defines Stone Mountain also means some yards have rockier subsoil, which our crew is equipped to handle. We've done installations in both Stone Mountain Village and Smoke Rise, where yard sizes and layouts vary considerably. Some properties back up to wooded areas with significant shade, while others get full afternoon sun exposure. We assess your specific microclimate—how much direct sun your yard receives, where water naturally flows, which areas stay damp longest—and we choose turf specifications and infill materials accordingly. If you're in a neighborhood with HOA guidelines, we'll work within those requirements. Many DeKalb homeowners also appreciate that our pet turf installation includes proper edging and securing methods that hold up to our seasonal weather shifts. The combination of clay soil movement and Georgia's humidity means shortcuts in installation lead to problems down the line. We don't cut corners.
Absolutely. Clay actually helps with turf stability if it's properly prepared. We install a engineered base layer that prevents the clay from creating drainage problems—water moves through instead of pooling. This is standard for all our DeKalb County installations. The key is getting the foundation right the first time, which is why we don't rush the prep work.
Yes. We offer shade-tolerant turf blends that perform well under tree cover. Properties near Stone Mountain Park or in the wooded parts of Smoke Rise often have dappled sun conditions. Our turf choices account for that. We'll assess your specific shade patterns during the site visit and recommend the right product.
Pet waste drains straight through the turf and base layer into the soil below—no odor buildup, no staining. We recommend rinsing the area with a hose after your dog uses it, similar to caring for natural grass. The antimicrobial infill we use in Stone Mountain installations also minimizes bacteria growth and smell.
Steep yards are common in Stone Mountain due to the granite bedrock. We've handled dozens of sloped properties throughout DeKalb County. The installation method accounts for slope to prevent shifting and ensure proper drainage. We'll discuss grading during the estimate.
