New Construction — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Building a new home in Buford? One of the smartest decisions you'll make is ditching the mower and choosing artificial turf for your yard. Whether you're in the Mall of Georgia area or settling near the Lake Lanier south shore, you've picked a community where outdoor living matters—and where the Georgia heat and humidity can turn lawn maintenance into a year-round nightmare. We've installed hundreds of artificial turf yards across Gwinnett County, and we know exactly what works in Buford's climate and soil conditions. New construction is actually the perfect time to go synthetic. Your landscaping crew is already out there, the ground is freshly graded, and you can skip the whole cycle of seeding, watering, and fighting brown patches during summer droughts. Instead, you get a lush, green yard by summer that requires zero fertilizer, zero fungicide, and zero weekend labor. Families moving to Buford appreciate the freedom—more time at Lake Lanier Islands, less time with a trimmer in hand. We handle everything from site prep through final installation, and we're just 40 minutes away when you need us.
Buford's got some quirks when it comes to yards. If your property sits near the lake or in the older clay-heavy zones of Gwinnett County, you're dealing with dense, poorly draining soil that makes natural grass a constant battle. Clay compacts easily, stays wet too long after rain, and creates the perfect conditions for fungal issues and bare spots. Artificial turf actually thrives in these conditions because we build proper drainage underneath—we're not fighting Mother Nature, we're working around her. Sun exposure varies significantly depending on your neighborhood. Properties near the Mall of Georgia tend to be newer builds with open lots, which means full-sun yards that can scorch real grass but are ideal for synthetic installations. Lake Lanier-adjacent homes often have mature tree canopies that create mixed shade and sun patterns. Our crew assesses your specific lot during the initial visit and recommends the right turf blend and infill system for your conditions. New construction sites also mean we're usually installing on virgin soil, which means fewer surprises than retrofitting an older yard. Most Buford HOAs are turf-friendly—they actually prefer the consistent, manicured look of quality artificial grass over the variable appearance of natural lawns across a neighborhood.
Absolutely. The clay here is actually why many homeowners prefer synthetic turf. We install a crushed stone and drainage base that sits on top of your clay soil, so water doesn't pool and create those muddy, mossy patches you see in natural yards around the lake area. This base system is critical in Gwinnett County's heavy soil conditions.
New synthetic turf technology stays significantly cooler than older varieties. We use modern infill systems and lighter-colored backing that reduce heat absorption. For properties with intense, all-day sun exposure—common in the newer Mall of Georgia neighborhoods—we can also recommend specific turf varieties rated for high-heat performance.
Most residential jobs in Buford take 2–4 days depending on yard size and site conditions. New construction is faster because we're not removing old sod or dealing with established landscaping. We can coordinate with your builder's timeline so the yard is ready when you move in.
Not with proper installation. Homes near the lake's south shore sometimes deal with higher water tables and seasonal moisture. Our drainage layer sits between your soil and turf, directing water away and preventing saturation. We've installed yards in moisture-prone Buford locations without issues.
