Price Match Guarantee — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Clarkston's clay soil is beautiful in photos, but it's a drainage nightmare in reality. We've seen it happen a hundred times: heavy rain hits the Milam Park area or Downtown Clarkston, and suddenly your backyard becomes a swamp. Natural grass can't handle it, and neither can your patience waiting for puddles to dry up. That's where artificial turf with proper drainage comes in. We've been installing systems in DeKalb County for years, and we know exactly how to handle the compact, water-logged conditions that plague these neighborhoods. The clay underneath wants to hold water like a bathtub, but our installation method breaks that cycle completely. We're 25 minutes away in Clarkston, and we've built our reputation on solving problems that other installers ignore. Our price-match guarantee means you're not paying a premium for local expertise—you're getting it at the best rate in the market.
DeKalb clay is dense and poorly draining, which is the real enemy here in Clarkston. Most residential lots in Downtown Clarkston and the Milam Park area are compact and urban, so we don't have the luxury of spreading water over a large yard. Instead, we engineer our drainage systems to move water aggressively away from the turf bed and toward storm drains or designated runoff zones. Sun exposure varies dramatically depending on your location—properties near the Clarkston Community Center and surrounding tree canopy get significant shade in summer, which means your artificial turf won't dry as quickly. We account for that in our base preparation. We also see a lot of older homes with shallow utility lines, so subsurface drainage requires careful planning. The good news: artificial turf eliminates the mud, eliminates the mowing, and eliminates the dead patches that clay soil creates in natural grass. Once we're done, your yard stays playable and attractive year-round, even after the heaviest Clarkston summer storms.
Yes—if it's installed correctly. DeKalb clay can't absorb water, so we don't rely on absorption. Instead, we install a engineered base with perforated layers that move water laterally and downslope toward drainage points. We've done this successfully throughout Clarkston for years. The turf itself is engineered to drain at 60+ inches per hour, so standing water isn't an option.
Typically 3–5 days, depending on lot size and drainage complexity. We start by excavating the existing problem area, installing our base layers, and then laying turf. Compact urban lots in Downtown Clarkston or near Milam Park move faster than larger properties. We'll give you a firm timeline during the walkthrough.
If you find a lower written quote from a licensed Georgia artificial turf installer for the same drainage system and turf quality, we'll match it. We stand behind our pricing because we're confident in our installation standards and our local reputation.
Most residential installations don't require permits, but we always verify with DeKalb County requirements first. If your property is under an HOA covenant—which is common in Clarkston neighborhoods—we'll check those restrictions too. We handle the paperwork so you don't have to.
