Satisfaction Guarantee — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Your Crabapple backyard sits on some of North Fulton's trickiest terrain—rolling clay that either holds water like a bathtub or drains faster than you'd expect, depending on the slope and elevation of your lot. We've spent years working with homeowners in the Crabapple Crossroads and Birmingham Falls areas, and drainage issues are one of the biggest complaints we hear. Natural grass struggles here because that clay compacts, tree roots clog gutters, and water either pools near your foundation or runs off unevenly across your property. Artificial turf solves that problem, but only if the base drainage system is engineered right. We don't just roll out fake grass over a soggy foundation—we design proper subsurface drainage that works with Crabapple's topography, not against it. Whether your lot slopes toward the house, toward a neighbor's property, or has a low spot that collects water after heavy rain, we'll install a system that keeps your turf playable year-round and protects your home. That's not just a promise—it's backed by our satisfaction guarantee.
Crabapple's rolling estate lots come with unique drainage challenges. Most properties sit on clay-heavy soil common to North Fulton, which compacts easily and resists water infiltration. We account for this by installing proper base gravel layers and perforated drainage lines beneath your turf—something essential here that flat yards in other parts of Georgia might skip. The neighborhood's tree coverage (especially near Crabapple Market and the Birmingham Falls Elementary area) means debris, shade patterns, and root interference are real considerations. Your artificial turf installation needs to accommodate both sunny exposure and dappled shade zones, which affects material selection and infill choices. Lot sizes in Crabapple tend to be generous—typically a half-acre or more—which means we're often designing drainage systems that manage water flow across larger areas. We also pay attention to how water flows toward neighbors' properties or back toward your home's foundation. The clay soil means we can't rely on natural percolation; we build engineered drainage corridors that move water safely off your property and away from structural risk zones.
Clay soil in North Fulton, especially on sloped lots like yours, compacts over time and creates a barrier to drainage. Natural grass roots can't penetrate that clay effectively, so water sits on top. Artificial turf with a proper drainage base solves this by creating engineered pathways for water to flow away from the surface, through gravel and perforated lines, rather than pooling.
Absolutely—it's our top concern. We survey your lot's elevation and slope during the design phase, then install drainage that directs water appropriately. Proper grading and subsurface drainage ensure you're not creating a problem downhill. This protects both you and your neighbors and keeps everyone compliant with local drainage expectations.
Most projects in your area take 3–5 days, depending on lot size and drainage complexity. We're usually 35 minutes from our shop, so travel time is minimal. Larger properties with significant grading or extensive drainage work may take longer, but we'll give you a clear timeline during your consultation.
Yes, but we choose the right blend. Some shade is fine; dense shade under big oaks is trickier. We'll assess your tree coverage and sun exposure, then recommend a turf variety rated for your specific light conditions. Proper drainage underneath ensures the turf doesn't stay damp in shaded zones where moisture can linger.
