Urgent Install — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Your backyard in Dunwoody doesn't have to turn into a swamp every time it rains. We see this constantly in Georgetown, Winters Chapel, and around Dunwoody Village—homeowners dealing with soggy lawns, puddling near the foundation, and that spongy feeling underfoot that makes any yard basically unusable. The problem isn't always the weather; it's drainage. And here's the thing: artificial turf actually solves this in ways natural grass never can. We install systems with proper subsurface drainage that channels water away from your home and keeps your yard playable year-round. No more muddy patches, no more wet boots, no more worrying about whether the kids can go outside after a storm. Our team knows Dunwoody's soil composition inside and out, and we design every installation to handle the heavy clay that comes with DeKalb County. Whether you're near Brook Run Park or out in one of the quieter residential pockets, we've got the expertise to get it right on the first try.
Dunwoody's clay-heavy soil is beautiful in concept but brutal in practice. The DeKalb clay doesn't drain naturally—water sits, compacts, and turns your yard into concrete or swamp depending on the season. Add in the mature tree coverage throughout Georgetown and Winters Chapel, and you've got shade patterns that limit grass growth while creating those wet, dark corners where nothing thrives. Most Dunwoody lots are suburban-sized—not tiny, not sprawling—which means drainage design has to be efficient and invisible. We see a lot of neighborhood HOA guidelines here too, especially near Dunwoody Village and around Perimeter areas, so we make sure every installation looks intentional and polished while solving your water problems completely. Our drainage base sits 4–6 inches below the turf surface depending on your yard's slope, with perforated pipes directing water to daylight or a dry well. This approach handles Georgia's heavy spring rains without the mud, without the standing water, and without compromising on aesthetics. The shade doesn't matter either—artificial turf performs the same whether it's under a 40-year-old oak or in full sun.
Yes—that's actually where it shines. Clay doesn't drain on its own, but we don't rely on the native soil. Our system uses a permeable base layer, geotextile, and subsurface drainage pipes that bypass the clay entirely. Water flows through the turf and base, then exits via perforated lines. We've installed hundreds of these in DeKalb County with zero drainage issues, even in heavy rain.
Typical drainage-focused turf installations take 2–4 days depending on yard size and existing conditions. We handle removal of old turf, base preparation, drainage system installation, and new turf all in one project. Most Dunwoody homeowners are up and running within a week of first contact.
It depends on your lot. Many Dunwoody yards have good slope toward the street or side yard, so we design drainage that moves water to daylight without a well. Some properties near Winters Chapel or closer to valleys need a catch basin or dry well. We assess your grading and tell you exactly what makes sense—no guessing.
Most likely, yes. Foundation puddles usually mean surface water and poor slope. Our installation includes grading adjustments and subsurface drainage that moves water away from your home's perimeter. We've solved this for dozens of Dunwoody homeowners dealing with the same clay and shade issues you're facing.
