Lifetime Warranty — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A lot of our Buford customers ask us the same question: "Why should I invest in a putting green when I've got all this clay soil that won't drain anyway?" That's actually the perfect reason. The heavy Gwinnett clay that dominates yards around the Mall of Georgia area and down toward Lake Lanier's south shore creates drainage headaches for natural grass. It stays wet, compacts hard, and turns into a muddy mess half the year. Artificial putting greens sidestep all of that. You get the backyard golf experience without fighting the regional soil. We've installed dozens of these in Buford—from compact setups in townhome communities to full-size practice greens on larger lots near the lake. And because we back every installation with a lifetime warranty on the turf itself, you're not gambling on the climate or the soil. You're building something that plays true for decades, rain or shine.
Buford's clay-heavy soil is both your problem and your solution. That dense, poorly draining earth is terrible for traditional grass but ideal for artificial turf installation—it provides a stable, compacted base that won't shift under foot traffic. We typically excavate 4–6 inches, compact the existing clay, and lay a perforated base layer to manage the water that does accumulate during Gwinnett's wet springs and summer storms. Sun exposure varies wildly here depending on your neighborhood. Properties near the Mall of Georgia tend to have less tree canopy, while homes closer to Lake Lanier's south shore often sit in dappled shade from mature oaks and pines. Our synthetic putting surfaces handle both scenarios, though homes with heavy afternoon shade benefit from slightly lighter-colored yarn to maintain visual contrast on the greens. Most Buford lots we work with are 0.25–0.5 acres, so putting greens typically range from 400–800 square feet. That size fits perfectly in a side yard or along the back, leaving room for entertaining. HOA rules in some Buford communities require pre-approval for landscape modifications, so we handle those conversations early.
Not at all—it actually makes it easier. Clay compacts solidly, giving your putting green a rock-stable foundation that won't settle or shift. We manage drainage by adding a perforated base layer beneath the synthetic turf, so water from spring rains and summer thunderstorms drains away instead of pooling. It's one of the reasons our installations here hold up so well.
Our synthetic turf requires almost no summer maintenance. No watering, no fertilizing, no fungicide sprays like you'd need for natural grass in this humidity. Light brushing once or twice a month keeps the pile upright and ensures consistent ball roll. Most Buford homeowners spend 15 minutes a month on upkeep—far less than fighting heat stress and disease on real grass.
Yes. Our turf performs in shade, though we might recommend a lighter yarn color to improve visibility and ball contrast on the green. Many properties near Lake Lanier's south shore get dappled afternoon sun, which is ideal. Even full-shade installations play true—shade just means cooler surface temps and longer turf life.
We guarantee the synthetic turf itself against defects, fading, and pile degradation for life—no time limit, no fine print about Gwinnett's climate. That covers manufacturing flaws and wear from normal use. Installation quality is backed separately. It's the confidence you need when you're investing in a long-term backyard feature.
