Older Home — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Here's the thing about older homes in Brunswick—especially the ones in Old Town and around the Mainland neighborhoods—they weren't built with today's drainage standards in mind. When you've got a 1970s or 1980s house with settled foundation lines and that coastal sandy soil we're sitting on, water problems are basically inevitable. The salt air doesn't help either; it corrodes old drainage systems faster than you'd expect. Most homeowners we talk to don't realize their drainage issues until they're staring at a soggy yard after a summer rain or noticing soft spots near the foundation. Natural grass makes this worse because the roots eventually clog or deteriorate old drain lines, and then you're looking at expensive excavation. That's where artificial turf comes in. By removing the root problem—literally—and installing a proper drainage base underneath, we can solve your water issues permanently while giving you a maintenance-free yard. Whether you're in 31520, 31523, or 31525, the solution is the same: pull out the problem grass, install engineered drainage, and lay down modern turf that actually lets water through instead of holding it.
Brunswick's coastal sandy soil is honestly a gift when it comes to drainage—sand naturally moves water fast. The problem is that old subsurface drain lines installed decades ago are often cracked, clogged, or improperly graded. Add the salt-air environment, and metal components corrode while vegetation roots find their way in. Older homes in the Sea Island access areas and throughout Glynn County tend to have smaller lot sizes with irregular grading patterns, which means water pools in unexpected spots. Before we install artificial turf, we assess your existing drainage infrastructure and either repair it or work around it with a proper base system. Our installation includes a perforated drainage layer that sits under the turf, allowing water to flow through the grass and into the sandy soil below—or into corrected drain lines if needed. The coastal humidity and occasional salt spray won't damage synthetic turf, but poor drainage underneath will. We also account for shaded areas near mature oaks (common in Old Town properties) where water tends to sit longer. Every yard in Brunswick is different, but they all benefit from the same principle: get the water moving, and your foundation stays dry.
Houses built before the 1990s in Glynn County often have drain lines that weren't installed deep enough or graded correctly. Coastal sandy soil shifts over time, and salt-air exposure degrades older PVC and metal components. Roots from natural grass also infiltrate old drain lines. We see this constantly in Old Town and Mainland neighborhoods, especially in homes near Mary Ross Waterfront Park where groundwater is higher.
Yes, significantly. We install a engineered drainage base under the turf that allows water to percolate through instead of pooling. Since artificial grass has no roots to clog drain lines, your existing system works better immediately. For homes in 31520 and surrounding areas with problematic subsurface drainage, we can also repair or reroute lines during installation.
Not at all. Modern synthetic turf is engineered to withstand coastal environments, including salt spray. The real enemy is poor drainage underneath—water sitting against the backing material causes problems, not the salt air itself. Our installation method ensures water never pools under the surface.
Properly installed turf lasts 12–15 years in Brunswick's climate. The salt air and humidity won't degrade the fibers, but the drainage system underneath must be correct. We've installed turf in Sea Island access homes and throughout Glynn County that's performed beautifully. Annual rinsing with fresh water (which you'd do anyway) keeps salt residue minimal.
