Spring Special — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Buford's got the space, the weather, and honestly, the mud problem that makes sport courts such a smart move. Between the clay-heavy soil near Lake Lanier and those spring rains that turn backyards into swamps, a lot of homeowners around the Mall of Georgia area and the lake's south shore end up with unusable yards half the year. That's where artificial turf comes in. We've been installing sport courts across Gwinnett County for years, and we've seen firsthand how much difference a properly built court makes—especially when you've got kids who want to shoot hoops or kick a soccer ball without sinking into the lawn. Our spring special is built with Buford's specific conditions in mind. We're not talking about the cheap, bouncy stuff that gets slippery when wet. We're talking about a real playing surface that handles the red clay underneath, drains properly through Georgia's humid summers, and actually holds up to the freeze-thaw cycles we get around here. If you're within 40 minutes of our shop, we can have your court ready before the heavy spring season kicks in.
Buford's proximity to Lake Lanier and the clay-laden soil of Gwinnett and Hall counties creates specific challenges for outdoor courts. That red clay base holds water like nobody's business, which means drainage isn't optional—it's essential. When we install in neighborhoods around the Mall of Georgia or anywhere on the lake's south shore, we always account for the water table and slope your yard naturally holds. Spring brings consistent rain, and the last thing you want is a court that puddles or stays soggy for days. We build in a proper gravel and perforated base to handle that. Sun exposure varies a lot depending on whether you're nestled among the trees near Lake Lanier Islands or in the more open residential sections. We assess your specific shade patterns and recommend turf pile height and infill type accordingly—shorter pile if you've got full sun most of the day, a bit more cushion if you're under tree cover. HOA rules in some Buford neighborhoods can be picky about colors and court dimensions, so we check those requirements upfront. The typical residential yard here runs 20x40 to 30x50, which gives us plenty of room to work with for a regulation or semi-regulation court.
Absolutely. Gwinnett's clay soil holds water, so we don't just lay turf on top. We excavate, add a proper drainage base with gravel and perforated pipe, and slope everything to move water away from the court. Skip that step and you'll have a soggy mess come spring. We've learned this the hard way working all over the county.
Spring is ideal because you avoid the summer heat and get the court ready before kids' sports season ramps up. Our spring special pricing reflects that—we're booking now for April through May installations. Winter can work too, but you're fighting freeze-thaw cycles and wet conditions that slow the job down.
Pricing depends on size and existing yard conditions, but a 20x40 court typically runs between $4,000 and $7,000 installed. Our spring special bundles the base work, premium turf, infill, and line marking, plus we throw in a five-year warranty.

Yes, but it requires careful grading. The lake's south shore has some naturally sloped yards. We can work with slopes up to about 10%, but steeper than that means more site prep and cost. We'll level what we need to and use the removed material to improve drainage elsewhere on your property.
