Large Yard — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Lawrenceville's established neighborhoods—especially around the Gwinnett Historic Courthouse area and Collins Hill—feature some gorgeous, mature properties with yards that have real character. That's also where we see the most interest in putting greens. Homeowners in your area have already invested in their landscape aesthetics, and a custom putting green fits naturally into that mindset. The thing is, those older lots in Gwinnett often come with dense clay soil and quirky sun patterns thanks to established trees. A putting green isn't just about having a smooth patch of grass; it's about working with what you've got—the shade, the drainage challenges, the slope of your yard—and turning it into something genuinely playable. We've installed dozens of greens across Gwinnett, and we've learned what works in your specific soil and climate. Whether you're looking at a 200-square-foot accent green near your patio or a larger practice area that takes advantage of a flat section of your yard, the approach is always the same: honest conversation about what your space can handle, and a finished product that actually plays well year-round.
Gwinnett red clay is stubborn, but it's predictable. That's the good news. The bad news is that drainage matters more here than in other parts of Georgia. We always recommend a proper base layer—usually crushed stone and perforated drainage pipe—especially if your yard slopes toward the foundation or a neighbor's property. Lawrenceville's tree canopy is a huge asset aesthetically, but it also means a lot of yards have partial shade. Morning sun and afternoon shade is actually ideal for turf health in Gwinnett summers, but full shade will eventually thin out even premium artificial grass. We assess sun exposure during a site visit because it directly impacts the turf type we recommend. Lot sizes in the historic neighborhoods and Collins Hill tend to be established and sometimes irregular, which actually creates neat opportunities for creative green placement—maybe wrapping around an existing landscape feature or fitting into a side yard that's otherwise unused. Installation timeline typically runs 3–5 days depending on prep work required. The red clay often needs good excavation and base preparation, which is where most of the labor goes. We always confirm grading and drainage before laying turf, especially in spring when Gwinnett can get heavy rain.
We always remove the old turf and work down to bare soil. With Gwinnett's clay, compaction is a real issue if we skip that step. We haul away the debris and start fresh with proper base layers. It takes extra time upfront, but the green will play true for years instead of settling unevenly.
Absolutely, as long as part of your yard gets 4+ hours of direct sun. We can work around tree shade—it's common in your neighborhoods. The key is choosing a location that balances playability with realistic sun exposure. Full shade won't hold turf health, but dappled afternoon shade is perfect for Gwinnett.
It's critical. Our red clay soil retains water, and a poorly draining green becomes a mud pit after heavy rain. We build in perforated base layers and slope the green slightly away from structures. Spring storms come through Gwinnett regularly, so good drainage isn't optional—it's essential.
Most HOAs in Lawrenceville neighborhoods are fine with artificial turf, especially putting greens, since they're low-maintenance and stay manicured. We recommend checking your specific covenants, but we've never seen a blanket ban on quality artificial grass in this area.
