Emergency Install — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Your Chattahoochee Hills property sits on some of the most beautiful rolling terrain in South Fulton—but those elevation changes come with real drainage challenges. We've worked with homeowners throughout Serenbe and the Rico area long enough to know that what looks like a minor puddle after rain can quickly become a soggy mess that kills your lawn and creates safety hazards around your home. When you've got an acre or more of property, water management isn't optional. That's where artificial turf with proper subsurface drainage makes sense. Unlike natural grass, which requires perfect drainage conditions to thrive on these hillsides, quality synthetic turf actually performs better when installed with engineered drainage systems. We're not talking about patching a wet spot—we're talking about designing a system that handles the heavy spring rains and keeps your yard usable year-round. If water's pooling in your yard right now, or if you're tired of muddy patches near your home's foundation, we can assess the situation and show you how modern turf installation solves both problems at once.
The rolling hills of Chattahoochee Hills present specific drainage realities. Your soil composition—typical of South Fulton's clay-heavy terrain—naturally resists water penetration, which means surface runoff becomes your main concern. Properties in Serenbe and the Rico area often sit on larger lots with significant grade changes, so water naturally wants to collect in low spots. We design artificial turf installations with this in mind. Our standard approach includes a perforated base layer that captures subsurface water and redirects it away from your home's foundation and low-lying areas. The good news: because your property has acreage, we have room to slope the system properly without making your yard look awkward. Shade patterns vary considerably depending on whether you're backed by mature trees or facing more open ridgeline exposure—both affect how quickly standing water dries. We'll evaluate your specific lot during the site visit. If you're part of the Serenbe community, landscape guidelines typically allow synthetic turf installations that match natural appearance standards, and we make sure our work complies with any neighborhood requirements before we break ground.
Our installation uses a layered system—permeable turf backing sits over engineered crushed stone and perforated drainage pipe. Water moves through the turf, into the base layer, and flows downhill to exit points we position strategically on your property. On slopes, this actually works better than natural grass because there's no compaction or erosion. We slope the subsurface system 1-2% grade minimum, which handles even heavy South Fulton spring rains without pooling.
That's exactly why engineered drainage matters. We keep perforated pipe at least 4-6 feet from your foundation and direct water away from the structure entirely. In Chattahoochee Hills' clay soil, improper drainage causes real foundation problems. Our system prevents water from collecting against your home while keeping your new turf dry and usable.
Yes. Shade slows evaporation, which is why those spots stay soggy under natural grass. Synthetic turf doesn't need to photosynthesize, so shade isn't a growth limitation. We'll install the same drainage system, and the turf will dry faster than a muddy natural grass area because there's no soil compaction or root mat holding water.
Typical projects run 3-5 days depending on lot size and existing conditions. We remove old sod, install the drainage framework, then lay turf. Larger Serenbe-area properties might extend to a full week if grading adjustments are needed. We'll give you an exact timeline after the site assessment.
