Money Back Guarantee — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Drainage problems in Buford hit different than in other parts of metro Atlanta. The clay-heavy soil around Gwinnett County and down toward Lake Lanier doesn't absorb water the way sandy soil does—it holds onto it, pools it, and then your yard becomes a swamp by mid-afternoon during spring rains. We've worked yards from the Mall of Georgia area all the way down to the Lake Lanier south shore, and we've seen every drainage disaster that heavy clay can throw at a homeowner. The good news? Artificial turf with proper drainage infrastructure underneath solves this completely. No more soggy spots, no more mud tracking through your house, no more wondering if your landscaping investment is going to wash away. We back our drainage solutions with a money-back guarantee because we know they work—and if they don't perform the way we promised, you get your investment back. That's our commitment to Buford homeowners who are tired of fighting their soil.
Buford's position near Lake Lanier and the prevalence of Gwinnett clay means most yards here deal with water retention that would frustrate a traditional grass lawn. That clay compacts easily, especially under foot traffic, and kills drainage even faster. When we install artificial turf in neighborhoods around the Mall of Georgia or closer to the lake, we're installing a complete drainage system—not just laying turf on existing soil. We excavate, grade, and install perforated base layers that channel water away from your home's foundation and septic system. Lot sizes in Buford vary widely, from smaller quarter-acre properties to more generous half-acre yards, so we customize the drainage plan to your exact footprint. The sun exposure varies too depending on tree coverage—lakeside properties sometimes have mature hardwoods that shade aggressively, while properties near shopping corridors get full sun. We account for both when designing your system so water moves exactly where it needs to go, whether your yard is open or shaded.
Gwinnett County clay is the culprit. The soil composition around Buford and near Lake Lanier holds water instead of letting it percolate down. It's not your landscaping—it's geology. Artificial turf with engineered drainage bypasses that problem entirely by creating a system that moves water away from your yard intentionally, rather than relying on soil to do it naturally.
Yes, but only with proper grading and drainage infrastructure underneath. We assess your lot's topography and your home's position relative to runoff patterns. In Buford yards, we often install French drains or swales to direct water toward storm drains or away from your foundation. The turf sits on top of that system, not instead of it.
Most residential jobs take 3–5 days depending on lot size and soil conditions. Larger properties near Lake Lanier or those with severe compaction may take longer. We schedule efficiently and minimize disruption to your daily routine while ensuring every drainage component is installed correctly.
If standing water reappears in your yard within one year due to drainage failure on our end—poor grading, faulty base installation, or design flaws—we refund your full installation cost and fix it right. We don't make promises we can't keep, and we've backed every Buford project with this guarantee for years.
