Price Match Guarantee — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Your backyard in Dunwoody probably floods more than you'd like to admit. We see it constantly—whether you're in Georgetown, Winters Chapel, or near Dunwoody Village, that DeKalb clay soil doesn't drain worth a darn when Georgia's afternoon thunderstorms roll through. Artificial turf looks great, but if water's pooling underneath or turning your yard into a mud pit, you've got a problem that no blade of synthetic grass can hide. That's where drainage repair comes in. Before we install premium turf at your home, we make sure water moves the way it should—away from your foundation, away from your deck, and away from those soggy patches that kill grass and attract bugs. We've been handling Dunwoody yards for years, and we understand the specific drainage challenges of this area. Whether your lot slopes the wrong way, you've got compacted soil from years of poor drainage, or you're just tired of puddles after every rain, we can fix it. Our price-match guarantee means you won't overpay for the solution. We'll assess your yard, design a drainage system that actually works, and get it installed right—so your new artificial turf sits on a solid, dry foundation that'll last.
Dunwoody's red clay is notoriously dense and slow-draining. Most residential lots here are between a quarter and half acre, with mature trees creating patchy shade from the Perimeter area all the way through Winters Chapel. That shade actually helps artificial turf—it stays cooler and lasts longer—but it also means water doesn't evaporate as fast as it would in full sun. We often see yards where previous owners tried natural grass and gave up because the clay wouldn't cooperate. Here's what we focus on: slope and grading. Dunwoody sits at varying elevations, and if your yard slopes toward your home instead of away from it, you'll have standing water no matter what. We also install French drains or perimeter drainage systems tailored to DeKalb's specific soil composition. The good news? Once we've addressed drainage, artificial turf performs exceptionally well in Dunwoody. It won't tear up from the weight of water, it won't develop fungal problems from humidity, and it handles our hot, humid summers without turning into a mud factory. Most Dunwoody HOAs approve artificial turf for drainage and maintenance reasons, though we always recommend checking with Georgetown or your specific neighborhood's guidelines before we break ground.
DeKalb clay compacts over time and essentially becomes waterproof. Water sits on top instead of percolating down. Combine that with Dunwoody's variable grading and tree root systems that block drainage paths, and you've got a recipe for standing water. We fix this with proper slope correction and subsurface drainage systems designed for clay-heavy soil.
Artificial turf is part of the solution, not the whole solution. If your yard has poor drainage, we address that first—otherwise you're just installing turf over a swamp. We'll install the drainage infrastructure, ensure proper grading, and then lay down premium turf that won't get damaged by whatever moisture remains.
Shade slows evaporation, which can keep your turf slightly damp longer after rain. It's not a bad thing—cooler turf lasts longer. But we have to factor it into drainage design. We might recommend different infill materials or slightly more aggressive grading in shaded zones near Winters Chapel or Georgetown to keep water moving.
