Money Back Guarantee — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Auburn's clay soil is beautiful in a lot of ways—it holds nutrients, it's stable for construction, and it's been supporting homes in Barrow County for generations. But here's what nobody tells you about clay: it doesn't drain worth a darn. When you get heavy rain (and the northeast corridor gets plenty of it), that water just sits. Your yard becomes a swamp. Your foundation gets nervous. And if you've already installed artificial turf, poor drainage underneath can actually shorten its lifespan and create odor problems nobody wants to deal with. That's where drainage repair comes in. We work with Auburn homeowners—from downtown to the Bethlehem area and everywhere in between—to fix drainage issues before they become expensive structural headaches. Our money-back guarantee means we're confident in our work. If your drainage isn't performing the way we promised, we'll make it right. We've spent years learning how Barrow County clay behaves, how water moves (or doesn't) through local yards, and exactly what it takes to keep artificial turf performing beautifully for the long haul. That knowledge isn't something you get from a franchise manual. It comes from doing this work in *your* community.
Auburn sits in some of Georgia's heaviest clay country, and that's both a feature and a challenge. Your soil has incredible load-bearing capacity—which is why homes here are rock-solid—but water infiltration is slow. During installation, we account for this by creating proper subsurface drainage layers beneath artificial turf. Without them, water pools, algae grows, and the turf bed becomes anaerobic. That's not a distant problem; it happens in Barrow County yards within months if drainage isn't engineered right from the start. Lot sizes in Auburn and the Bethlehem area tend to be moderate, which actually works in your favor for retrofit drainage solutions. We can install French drains, permeable underlayment systems, or slope corrections without massive excavation. Sun exposure varies significantly depending on whether your property is near Auburn Downtown (more shaded from mature trees) or in newer sections of the northeast corridor (more open). We design drainage systems that complement your site's actual drainage patterns, not generic templates. If you're in an HOA community, we also verify any landscape restrictions before breaking ground. Barrow County's seasonal rainfall peaks in spring, so spring maintenance and pre-season drainage checks are part of our service calendar.
Barrow County's clay soil has poor percolation rates—water moves through it very slowly. Even slight grades that look fine to the eye will cause pooling because the water just can't infiltrate fast enough. During heavy spring rains, this gets worse. We assess your actual soil profile and water table to design a system that works with Auburn's geology, not against it.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no—it depends on the problem. If the issue is surface drainage or minor pooling, we can install edge drains or re-grade without full removal. If the subsurface is failing (which we see in older Auburn installations), full removal and proper underlayment installation is the lasting fix. We'll assess your specific turf and give you honest options.
We guarantee that drainage repairs we perform will function as designed for one year. If water pools in the repaired area within that timeframe due to our installation error or material failure, we'll fix it at no charge. This guarantee applies to Auburn residential properties. Commercial projects have different terms we'll discuss upfront.
Small surface drainage fixes (edge drains, minor re-grading) usually take one day. Subsurface work like French drain installation or full turf removal and underlayment replacement takes 2–4 days depending on your yard's size and complexity. We'll give you a timeline estimate during your site visit and stick to it.
