Seam Repair — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Your putting green in Dunwoody has probably taken a beating from the Georgia heat and those unpredictable spring rains. Seams separate. Infill settles unevenly. One day you're lining up a putt on pristine turf, the next you're noticing that telltale gap where two rolls met during installation. The good news? Seam repair isn't a full replacement job, and it doesn't mean your whole green is ruined. We've been fixing Dunwoody putting greens—from Georgetown to Winters Chapel—long enough to know exactly what causes seams to fail in DeKalb County's clay-heavy soil and humid subtropical climate. Whether your green is five years old or fifteen, seam separation is fixable, and it's worth addressing before small gaps become bigger problems. Our team handles these repairs without tearing up your entire installation, which means you're back to playing within days, not weeks.
Dunwoody's combination of clay-dominant soil and mature tree canopy creates a unique environment for artificial turf. The DeKalb clay base underneath most residential lots in Georgetown and Winters Chapel means drainage behaves differently than it would in sandier regions—water pools longer, and ground movement from freeze-thaw cycles is real during our unpredictable winters. That matters for seam integrity. Shade from the oak and pine trees around Perimeter Mall's periphery and throughout the neighborhoods keeps turf cooler than full-sun installations, which actually helps preserve seam adhesive, but it can trap moisture and promote algae growth at seam lines. Suburban lot sizes in Dunwoody typically run 0.25 to 0.5 acres, meaning your putting green is probably closer to neighbors' sightlines and HOA guidelines—seam failure becomes visible fast. Installation here requires proper base prep to account for clay settling, deliberate seam tape selection rated for humidity, and infill that drains well in our wet springs. Existing installations often show seam wear first because installers underestimated how much the ground shifts beneath the surface.
DeKalb's clay soil expands and contracts with moisture and temperature swings more than sandy soils do. That movement puts stress on seam tape and adhesive. Combined with Dunwoody's shade and humidity, seam adhesive can degrade faster than expected. Poor initial base prep amplifies the problem—if the ground underneath wasn't properly compacted or graded, settlement happens unevenly, creating tension at seams.
True seam repair—cutting out the failed seam, removing old tape, and reseaming with new adhesive—works if the turf itself isn't damaged. We assess whether the turf is intact and the seam is the only issue. If the turf around the seam is deteriorated or the underlying base is failing, we'll tell you upfront. In many Dunwoody cases, targeted seam repair gets you three to five more years of reliable play.
A single seam repair typically takes one day on-site, sometimes two if we need to address base settlement beneath the turf. New adhesive needs 24 hours to fully cure before heavy foot traffic. We schedule most repairs within two weeks of your call, and you're usually back to putting within 48 hours of completion.
Absolutely. Seam repair runs a fraction of a new installation—usually between 15 and 30 percent of full replacement cost, depending on seam length and base condition. For Dunwoody homeowners, that typically means savings of several hundred dollars versus starting over.
