Lifetime Warranty — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Lawrenceville's established neighborhoods—from the historic Courthouse area to Collins Hill—were built on what we call Georgia's red clay problem. That clay doesn't drain. It pools. And when you've got an older lot with settled ground, water sits right where you don't want it: under your deck, along your foundation, or in those low spots where grass dies and mud takes over. Artificial turf sounds like the answer, but here's what most installers won't tell you: bad drainage under the turf turns into a swamp real fast. We've seen it happen on properties all over Gwinnett County. The turf looks fine on top, but underneath? Standing water, mold, and a mess that costs more to fix later. That's why we build drainage right into every installation—and we back it with a lifetime warranty. No games, no fine print, no 'we didn't know about the clay.' We know Lawrenceville. We know what happens when you ignore what's beneath the surface. Our drainage system is engineered to handle Gwinnett's heavy clay and Georgia's rain events. Install it once, maintain it once, and stop worrying about water problems for good.
Gwinnett County red clay is dense, compacted in older neighborhoods, and naturally sheds water instead of absorbing it. In Lawrenceville, that means proper base preparation isn't optional—it's foundational. Most yards in the historic Courthouse vicinity and Collins Hill are quarter-acre to half-acre lots with mature trees, so shade patterns are a real factor. Full sun turf and shade-tolerant varieties perform very differently under Georgia's humidity and rainfall. The good news: artificial turf doesn't care about clay the way natural grass does. The bad news: if water can't escape, it pools under the turf and causes degradation from below. We excavate, install a gravel base, add a perforated drainage layer, and slope everything toward a discharge point—either a dry well, French drain, or existing storm drainage. HOA rules in some Lawrenceville subdivisions restrict landscape changes, so we coordinate on any visible drainage modifications. Most installations here run 3,000–8,000 square feet. We size drainage based on your lot's slope, soil type, and how much rain typically accumulates. No guessing.
Yes. Georgia averages 50+ inches annually, and Lawrenceville sits in an area with afternoon thunderstorms. Our drainage system is sized for 100-year storm events, not just regular rain. We use perforated pipe, gravel beds, and engineered slope so water moves away from the turf, not into it. The turf itself drains fast once water hits the surface. Combined, you're safe through Georgia's wettest seasons.
Absolutely. Lawrenceville's red clay is deceptive. Water may not pool visibly because it spreads slowly, but it's trapped underneath. After a few years of saturation, clay settles further and drainage gets worse. We always install drainage—it's included in our process, not an upgrade. Your warranty depends on it.
We've seen it: mold growth, turf degradation, washouts, and foul odors. Repairs mean partial removal, remediation, and reinstallation—thousands of dollars and months of mess. That's exactly why we don't skip this step and why our lifetime warranty covers drainage failure. Do it right from day one.
Proper drainage adds 3–5 days to installation and accounts for roughly 20–25% of total project cost. In Lawrenceville's clay, it's non-negotiable. The alternative—fixing drainage problems years later—costs far more and takes longer. We include it in our lifetime warranty, so there's no surprise expense down the road.
