Sub Base Types — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A lot of homeowners in Grayson have been asking us about putting greens lately, and honestly, it makes sense. Whether you're near Bay Creek Park or over in the Grayson High School area, having a practice green right in your backyard changes how you think about your free time. You don't have to drive across town to work on your short game anymore—just step outside. Now, we're not talking about some flimsy backyard setup that falls apart in a year. A real putting green needs the right base, proper drainage, and turf that holds up to Gwinnett County's weather. That's where most DIY projects fail. Homeowners grab cheap materials, skip the foundation work, and end up frustrated when their green settles or holds water. We've installed putting greens all over the Grayson community, and we know exactly how to build one that lasts. It starts with understanding your soil—that East Gwinnett clay isn't going anywhere without a solid plan. Then comes selecting the right artificial turf grade, installing a base system that actually drains, and making sure the slope works for how you want to putt. Every yard in this area has different sun exposure, different drainage patterns, and different aesthetic goals. Your neighbor's setup won't be the same as yours, and that's fine. We handle each one individually. If you're serious about having a professional-quality practice space at home, let's talk about what's realistic for your property and your budget.
Grayson sits on some heavy clay soils typical of East Gwinnett, which is both a challenge and something we've solved a hundred times. Clay doesn't drain quickly on its own, so your putting green's base layer becomes critical. We typically install a compacted stone base—either crushed granite or recycled asphalt—with a perforated drainage layer underneath. That clay wants to hold water, and we make sure water moves through your green instead of pooling on top. Sun exposure varies across the Grayson community depending on where your lot sits. Some properties near Bay Creek have mature trees that cast afternoon shade; others are more open. Artificial turf actually thrives in both conditions, but we need to know your sun pattern when choosing the grass blade height and pile density. Afternoon shade from oak or pine trees isn't a problem—it can actually help the turf perform more consistently year-round. Most Grayson residential lots are spacious enough for a 200–400 square foot practice green, which gives you real room to work with different shot distances. We see a lot of interest in greens that fit naturally into the existing landscape rather than looking like a separate installation. That means respecting the slope of your yard, matching sod lines to garden beds, and thinking about how water moves during Gwinnett's heavy summer rains. One last thing: some Grayson neighborhoods have HOA guidelines about artificial turf. We always check those first so there are no surprises down the road.
A quality residential putting green in Grayson typically runs $4,000–$8,000 depending on size, drainage requirements, and site prep. East Gwinnett's clay means most jobs need proper base layers, which adds cost but prevents problems later. We're about 40 minutes from Grayson, so our labor pricing reflects that service area.

Yes—that's exactly what we do in Grayson. Clay is common here, and it's manageable with the right foundation. We excavate, compact a stone base, add drainage tile if needed, and install the turf. Skipping the base prep is where DIY projects fail. The clay won't compress properly and water won't drain, ruining the green.
A typical residential green in Grayson takes 2–3 days once we start. Site prep might add another day or two depending on existing landscaping and soil conditions. We work around your schedule and coordinate with you on timeline before we begin.
Yes. Gwinnett County gets heavy summer rains and Grayson's clay soils hold water naturally. Without proper subsurface drainage, your green becomes soggy and unusable. We include perforated drainage layer and stone base in every installation to handle that clay.
