Fixer Upper — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
That red clay in your Lawrenceville yard? It's beautiful when it's dry, but a nightmare when water pools up after rain. We've been helping homeowners around the Gwinnett Historic Courthouse area and Collins Hill deal with drainage problems for years, and honestly, artificial turf is one of the smartest solutions we've found. Your neighbors might be dealing with soggy spots every spring, but you don't have to. The older established lots here in 30043, 30044, 30045, and 30046 were built on soil that doesn't drain naturally—it compacts, it holds moisture, and it kills grass. By the time you're thinking about ripping out your lawn anyway, switching to artificial turf makes the drainage fix permanent. No more muddy patches near your deck. No more choosing between watering restrictions and a dead yard. We install systems that actually solve the problem instead of just masking it.
Gwinnett red clay drains slowly, which means standing water is common in spring and after heavy rain. If your lot is older, compaction from decades of foot traffic makes it worse. Here in Lawrenceville, you've also got shade challenges—mature trees around the Historic Courthouse neighborhoods and Collins Hill mean some yards get dappled light all day. Artificial turf handles that beautifully, unlike grass. Your lot size matters too. Older established properties tend to be smaller and more irregularly shaped, which means installation needs careful planning to match your actual yard, not some standard suburban layout. We design drainage systems underneath synthetic turf that slope properly toward your existing storm drains or swales. That red clay base gets prepped, leveled, and topped with a perforated base layer. Water moves through instead of pooling. Whether you're working with HOA guidelines in your neighborhood or just want a low-maintenance yard that doesn't look like a swamp, we've got the local experience to make it work.
Absolutely. Red clay is actually an advantage for us—it's dense and stable, which is exactly what we want under synthetic turf. We build a drainage base on top of it that prevents water from pooling. The clay becomes a solid, level foundation. Without proper base prep, you'd have soggy spots; with it, you've got a draining system that handles our Georgia rain.
Sometimes. If your yard floods or stays wet for days after rain, we'll address that during installation with proper grading and a perforated drainage layer. Many Lawrenceville yards just need the right base setup—we assess during the site visit and tell you exactly what's needed, no guessing.
Most residential yards take 2-4 days, depending on size and how much grading or drainage work is needed. If your lot has significant slope or poor drainage, add a day. We'll give you a timeline after we see your specific yard conditions.
Not at all. We work around existing utilities and septic systems—it's part of our standard process. If you're unsure where your drain field is, we can help you locate it before we start. Artificial turf systems are designed to work with your home's existing infrastructure.
