Money Back Guarantee — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Living up here in the mountains around Hiawassee means dealing with drainage challenges most Georgia homeowners never see. That lake-influenced climate and the way our north Georgia soil sits—especially in the Downtown Hiawassee and Lake Chatuge areas—creates standing water problems that can wreck a natural lawn in a season or two. We've installed artificial turf systems for dozens of properties in Towns County, and the difference proper drainage makes is night and day. Here's what we've learned: mountain properties with clay-heavy soil need a drainage solution built into the turf system itself, not just hoping water soaks in. That's why we back our work with a money-back guarantee. If your turf installation doesn't perform through our wet springs and the occasional heavy downpour, we'll make it right. We're not cutting corners with cheap base layers or undersized drainage lines. Your yard should handle rain the way it's supposed to—water flowing through, not pooling. We've made the drive from our shop plenty of times to service Hiawassee properties, and we know exactly what this terrain demands.
Hiawassee sits in a pocket where elevation, proximity to Lake Chatuge, and dense forest coverage all affect how water moves through your yard. The soil around here tends to be acidic and clay-rich—great for native plants, tough on drainage if you're not careful. Most properties in the Downtown Hiawassee neighborhoods sit on slopes or near low spots that collect runoff from higher ground. Even homes near the lake have their own quirks: the microclimate keeps things damper longer, and afternoon shade from surrounding trees means slower evaporation. When we install artificial turf, we're not just laying down product. We're building a engineered base that accounts for Towns County's rainfall patterns and that heavy soil composition. Your yard size typically ranges from modest mountain lots to sprawling lakeside properties—we custom-size the drainage system to match. We use permeable base layers thick enough to handle spring snowmelt and summer storms. The underlying gravel and drainage cloth we specify are calibrated for this specific climate, not generic specs written for flat Georgia clay land.
North Georgia mountain soil drains slowly by nature. Around Hiawassee and the Lake Chatuge area, clay content is high and organic matter breaks down slowly in cooler elevations. Water sits on top instead of filtering through. Artificial turf with proper engineered drainage—the kind we install and guarantee—solves this by moving water through a permeable base layer into gravel and drainage lines, not relying on soil absorption alone.
Absolutely. Sloped yards actually work in our favor for drainage. We contour the base layers to direct water downslope into drainage channels, and the turf itself won't erode the way natural grass does on inclines. Mountain properties benefit most from turf because we eliminate bare patches, washouts, and the constant battle against shade and wet soil. Your slope becomes an asset, not a liability.
Less than you'd think. You won't mow, fertilize, or reseed. Occasional rinsing removes pollen and keeps the fibers fresh—our lake-adjacent properties love this in spring. Winter snow just melts through to the drainage layer. We include maintenance guidance with every installation, and our guarantee means if drainage issues develop, we handle it at no cost.
If standing water appears on your turf after installation, or if drainage fails during normal Hiawassee rainfall, we fix it or refund the installation cost. We're confident in our engineered systems because we've tested them against our actual climate—mountain soil, lake humidity, and all. It's not a gimmick; it's how we stand behind work we know works.
