Emergency Install — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A putting green transforms your Buford backyard into a private golf escape—and if you're dealing with the clay-heavy soil around the Mall of Georgia area or the lakeside properties near Lake Lanier, artificial turf is honestly your best shot at getting a playable surface that doesn't turn into a mud pit after rain. We've installed dozens of greens across Gwinnett County, and Buford homeowners consistently choose them because they're done right the first time, no matter whether your lot borders the Mall corridor or sits on the south shore where drainage gets tricky. Unlike natural grass, which fights clay soil and thrives on constant maintenance you probably don't have time for, a quality artificial putting green handles our humidity, our summer heat, and that unpredictable spring weather without turning patchy or bald. You get year-round playability, zero fertilizer runoff into Lake Lanier, and a surface that stays true whether you're practicing your short game in January or hosting a Labor Day tournament in your yard. Most Buford installations take one day—sometimes two if we're grading around existing landscaping—and you're putting that same afternoon.
Buford sits on Gwinnett County's notoriously dense clay base, especially noticeable if your property is anywhere near the Mall of Georgia footprint or down toward Lake Lanier's south shore. That clay means natural grass struggles with both drainage and root development, which is why so many local homeowners end up with thin, weedy patches by mid-summer. Artificial turf sidesteps this entirely. We build a proper sub-base with drainage rock and leveling sand—critical in your area because water sits on clay instead of percolating—so your green plays consistently and doesn't become a swamp after thunderstorms. Sun exposure varies wildly in Buford depending on neighborhood. Properties near the lake often have mature tree cover that filters afternoon heat, which actually extends turf life and keeps playing conditions cooler. Mall-area yards tend to be more open, which means we pay attention to infill selection to prevent heat buildup. Most Buford residential lots are spacious enough for a 12x20 or 15x25 green without crowding other landscaping, and we always work around existing HOA landscape guidelines—some neighborhoods have specific requirements about mounding or border materials that we factor in during the design phase.
Yes. Gwinnett County clay doesn't drain naturally, so we always install a gravel base layer and proper slope to push water away from your green and the surrounding landscape. Skip this step and you'll have pooling and turf degradation within a season. It's not optional in Buford—it's foundational.
Most Buford installations happen in one day if the site is prepped and grading is minimal. If we're reworking drainage or integrating around existing hardscape, plan for two days. We schedule emergency installs quickly because we're based 40 minutes away and familiar with Gwinnett County permitting and soil conditions.
Absolutely. Artificial turf handles Georgia's heat and moisture better than natural grass, which gets moldy or thin in our humid summers. Your green will play true in July and January, no seasonal dormancy or dead spots like you'd see with real grass.
Some are, some aren't. We've worked with several Mall of Georgia and Lake Lanier–area HOAs that require specific border materials or limit mounding height. We review your neighborhood guidelines during the design consultation so there are no surprises down the line.
