Dunwoody's established neighborhoods of 1970s and 1980s brick two-stories sit under towering pines and oaks that define the northern suburbs, and those tall trees mean shaded backyards, clay soil, and yards that need solutions traditional lawns can't deliver. Atlanta Turf Installation has been serving Dunwoody and the surrounding Atlanta area since 2013, and we know the specific challenges homeowners face here: dense shade, red-clay drainage, HOA front-yard rules, and the wear that dogs and kids put on grass in a humid climate.

Whether your lawn has thinned out under the pines, your dog area has turned to mud and smells, or you need a putting green, pool surround, or a low-maintenance yard that looks sharp year-round, our team installs artificial turf built to handle Dunwoody's soil, sun exposure, and seasonal weather. We write down the turf product, face weight, pile height, infill, and base depth so you know exactly what you're getting.

Artificial Grass Installation in Dunwoody (30338)

Dunwoody yards sit on the red-clay Piedmont, and that clay drains poorly when it's wet and hardens when it's dry. The tall pines overhead mean some yards get only a few hours of direct sun, while others bake in full afternoon heat. Traditional fescue and bermuda lawns thin out in shade, and in full sun they struggle through Georgia's humid 90-degree summers and spring pine pollen. Dogs turn shaded areas to mud; kids wear paths bare. Artificial turf solves these problems, but only if the base is built right. We excavate, grade for drainage, lay a compacted stone base, and install turf that's specified in writing for the exact conditions of your yard. Front yards in Dunwoody are often governed by HOA architectural rules, and we help with submittals so your turf meets the rules on color, pile height, and edging. We also handle removal of old lawn or old turf, seam repair on existing installations, and cleaning with pet odor treatment.

Our team has installed residential yards, pet turf and dog runs, putting greens, pool surrounds, patios, and commercial properties across Atlanta and Dunwoody since 2013. We're fully insured, we show up when we say we will, and we leave your property clean.

How a Job Works in Dunwoody

We start with a free on-site assessment. You walk us through what you want, we measure the area, look at the sun and shade throughout the day, check drainage and soil, and discuss your budget and timeline. If your yard has an HOA, we'll explain what the rules cover and what turf options fit. If there's an old lawn or old turf in the way, we'll price removal. If water pools in the yard, we'll talk about grading and base depth before we install anything.

When we're ready to build, we call for a Georgia 811 utility locate so we don't hit any buried lines. We excavate to the depth needed for proper base and drainage, haul away the old soil or turf, lay compacted stone base (typically 3 to 4 inches), and install the turf you've chosen, seaming it tight and stretching it smooth. If the yard is tight or has a narrow side access, we plan ahead so our rolls and equipment fit. For front yards with HOA rules, we make sure the finished height, color, and edging match the submittal.

When we're done, we haul off all debris, rake and brush the turf pile, and walk through the job with you so you know how to care for it. The turf is ready to use the same day.

Artificial grass in Dunwoody typically runs from $8 to $18 per square foot installed, depending on the turf product, infill type, base depth, and what has to come out first. A basic residential yard with good drainage and no removal might be $8 to $10 per square foot. Pet turf with a thicker pile and drainage infill runs $10 to $12 per square foot. A putting green or artificial grass wall is $15 to $18 per square foot. For a 400 square foot backyard, plan $3,200 to $4,000 installed. For a 1,000 square foot yard, budget $8,000 to $12,000. If we have to remove an old lawn or old turf, add $2 to $3 per square foot. The biggest cost factors are the turf product and face weight, the type and depth of infill, the base depth and compaction, site access for rolls and equipment, and whether we're removing what's already there. The only way to know your price is a free on-site estimate. Call us at (470) 943-2510 and we'll schedule a time that works for you.

✅ Written Turf Specs: Face Weight, Pile Height & Infill, fully insured for work in Dunwoody and nearby areas.

My backyard is shaded by pines and my lawn is thin and patchy. Will artificial turf look natural under the trees?

Yes. Shade turf is designed to look like natural grass even in low light, and it won't thin out like fescue does under pines. The pile height and color matter, so we'll show you samples in your yard at different times of day. Artificial turf doesn't need sunlight to stay green, so it stays full and uniform year-round. We'll specify the right product for shade in writing.

How hot does artificial turf get in summer, and is it safe for dogs and kids?

In full Georgia sun, turf surface can get hot to the touch, but it cools down quickly in shade and when rinsed with water. We install cooling infill and lighter-colored products that run cooler. For dog areas and playgrounds, we use pet-rated turf with drainage infill that keeps paws from burning. Kids can play safely on it the same day it's installed. If you're worried about heat in a specific spot, tell us during the estimate and we'll recommend the right product and infill for that area. Call (470) 943-2510 to discuss.

What does artificial grass cost for a typical Dunwoody backyard?

A standard backyard install in Dunwoody runs $8 to $12 per square foot. A 500 square foot yard typically costs $4,000 to $6,000 installed, including base prep. If we remove old lawn or old turf, add another $1,000 to $1,500. The exact price depends on the turf product, infill, base depth, and site conditions. We'll give you a firm price after we measure and assess the yard. Free estimate at (470) 943-2510.

My front yard is under HOA rules. Do I need approval before we install turf?

Yes, most Dunwoody HOAs govern front-yard turf on color, pile height, and edging. We help you prepare a submittal with photos and product specs, but the HOA makes the final decision. We never promise approval, but we know the common rules and we'll make sure your turf meets them. Check your HOA's architectural guidelines first, then call us at (470) 943-2510. For questions about local rules and permits, the City of Dunwoody's official site can point you to the right department.

My yard has drainage problems and water pools after rain. Can artificial turf fix that?

Not by itself. We have to fix the drainage first or the water will sit under the turf and cause problems. We'll grade the yard to slope away from the house, lay a compacted stone base 3 to 4 inches deep, and sometimes install a drainage layer underneath. If the problem is serious, we talk about grading and base depth before we commit. On some yards with severe issues, we might recommend talking to a drainage specialist first. We won't install turf on a yard with a water problem unless we fix it properly.

Are you fully insured for this work?

Yes, we carry general liability and workers' compensation insurance. We'll provide a certificate of insurance before we start any job. When you're vetting any turf installer, ask for proof of insurance, a written spec with turf product, face weight, pile height, infill type and pounds per square foot, and base depth, a local address, references, and photos of finished work. We have all of those.

What's the best time of year to install artificial turf in Dunwoody?

Spring and fall are ideal. In spring (March through May), the weather is mild, the ground is workable, and you'll have the yard ready for summer. Fall (September through November) is also excellent, with lower heat and less rain. Summer is possible but hot for the crew and the turf. Winter can work if the ground isn't frozen, but it's slower. If you need the yard ready for a specific event, sale, or move-in date, call us and we'll work around your timeline. Most jobs take 2 to 5 days depending on size and site prep.
