Pool Deck Edge — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Stone Mountain homeowners have a unique advantage when it comes to backyard entertainment spaces. That granite dome rising over the park creates distinct microclimates across the neighborhood—some yards bake in afternoon sun, others stay shaded most of the day. A putting green isn't just about golf bragging rights anymore. It's become the centerpiece of how families in Smoke Rise and Stone Mountain Village use their outdoor space, especially around pool decks and patio areas where traditional grass struggles with foot traffic and chlorine splash. We've been installing artificial turf systems across DeKalb County for years, and we've learned exactly what works in this clay-heavy soil region. The good news: a well-built putting green solves problems that natural turf can't handle here. You get a pristine surface year-round, no mud tracking into the house after rain, and a surface that actually improves your short game instead of developing bare patches by July. Whether you're looking at a compact 8x12 practice area or something larger that anchors your backyard design, we can build it to match Stone Mountain's aesthetic and withstand the local climate.
Stone Mountain's soil profile is tricky—that DeKalb clay sits right on top of granite bedrock in many yards, which means drainage isn't automatic. Natural grass putting greens often fail here because water either pools or drains too fast, depending on where the outcrop sits beneath your property. Artificial turf solves this directly. We install a permeable base system that handles Georgia's heavy spring rains and the occasional summer downpour. The granite dust that's common in this area actually works in your favor during installation—it compacts cleanly and provides stable foundation material. Sun exposure varies significantly between Smoke Rise (often tree-heavy) and yards closer to Stone Mountain Village that get full afternoon exposure. Your putting green's backing and infill system adjust based on that orientation. Pool-deck installations need special attention here because chlorine and saltwater runoff can degrade certain materials. We use UV-stable, chlorine-resistant synthetic blades and drainage systems that channel chemicals away safely. Most residential lots in the area range from quarter-acre to half-acre, which means a putting green typically occupies 200–400 square feet—large enough for meaningful practice, small enough to fit naturally between patios and landscaping.
Absolutely. Pool decks create specific challenges—chlorine splash, foot traffic, and standing water after rains. Our turf systems are designed for this. We use marine-grade backing that resists chemical degradation and install perimeter drainage that keeps chlorinated water from pooling. The surface dries quickly after splashing, so kids won't track wet rubber into the house. We've installed dozens around Stone Mountain area pools without issues.
Clay doesn't drain naturally, which is why we don't rely on it. We excavate the existing soil, lay a gravel base for permeability, add a sand leveling layer, and then install the turf system with proper slope for water management. It takes extra prep work compared to sandy soil, but the result is a putting green that performs consistently through Stone Mountain's wet springs and dry summers.
Shade is actually one of synthetic turf's strengths. Unlike grass, it doesn't need photosynthesis to stay green and healthy. Partial shade in Smoke Rise yards is ideal—it reduces UV exposure, keeps infill cooler, and extends the lifespan of the material. Full sun areas get hotter, so we adjust infill type accordingly. We can work with whatever light pattern your lot gets.
A standard putting green takes 2–3 days once we start. We're based about 30 minutes away, so we schedule back-to-back installs in your area to be efficient. Most homeowners have a ready-to-use surface within a week from the initial site visit. We handle all excavation, base prep, and finishing in-house—no subcontractors, no delays.
