Base Prep — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A lot of homeowners around Lawrenceville dream about having a putting green in their backyard—somewhere they can practice their short game without driving out to the course every time the mood strikes. The thing is, most of those dreams stay dreams because real grass putting greens are a nightmare to maintain in Gwinnett County. Our artificial turf putting greens give you that polished, tournament-quality surface year-round, no matter what the Georgia heat and humidity throw at it. We've installed dozens of these across the Lawrenceville area—in the historic neighborhoods near the courthouse, out in Collins Hill, everywhere in between—and the response is always the same: people wish they'd done it sooner. Your backyard doesn't have to feel like a practice range that's fighting you every season. With the right artificial surface, it becomes something your family actually uses, and your golf game improves without the membership fees.
Lawrenceville sits on that notorious Gwinnett red clay, which is both a blessing and a complication. The good news? It drains reasonably well when you get the base prep right. The challenging part is that red clay is dense and often compacted on older, established lots throughout the historic courthouse area and Collins Hill neighborhoods. Before we lay any putting green, we have to address what's underneath. Most yards around here benefit from proper grading and a solid base layer—we're talking crushed stone, sand, and sometimes a drainage mat depending on your lot's slope and what's already there. Sun exposure varies wildly depending on whether you're surrounded by mature oaks (common in the older sections of town) or you've got full southern exposure. That affects how the turf performs and how realistic the playing surface will feel. We'll assess your specific yard's light patterns, any existing drainage issues, and the layout of your space before recommending the right turf grade and installation approach.
Gwinnett County doesn't typically require a permit for residential turf installations, but it's worth checking with your HOA if you're in one of the planned communities near Collins Hill or the historic areas. Some neighborhoods have landscape guidelines that technically apply to artificial turf additions. We handle all that coordination for you—it's part of the process.
Red clay compacts hard and doesn't drain like sandy soil, so we can't just lay turf on top and expect it to play well. We build a proper base with crushed stone and leveling sand to ensure water moves through the system instead of pooling. It takes more prep work than some soils, but it's the difference between a surface that lasts and one that becomes a muddy mess after rain.
Absolutely. Quality artificial turf is designed to withstand intense UV exposure and heat without fading or breaking down. The playing surface stays consistent whether it's 75 degrees or 95 degrees—no seasonal variations like you'd get with real grass. You're putting the same way in July as you are in April.
Most Lawrenceville backyards can accommodate a functional 500–1,000 square foot putting green with some variety in hole placement. Smaller spaces work too—even 250 square feet gives you enough to practice. We'll walk your yard and show you what's realistic for your layout and sight lines.
