Base Prep — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A putting green in your Lilburn backyard isn't just a luxury—it's become the go-to move for homeowners in Killian Hill and around Lilburn City Park who want to actually use their yards year-round. We've installed dozens of them across Gwinnett County, and honestly, there's nothing quite like stepping outside to practice your short game before heading to the office. The neighborhoods here have mature lots with plenty of character, and a well-designed putting surface fits naturally into that landscape. Unlike the clay-heavy soil you're dealing with in most of Lilburn, artificial turf sits on top of a engineered base that handles our Georgia rainfall without turning into a swamp. You don't need a massive yard either—even modest 12-by-20 spaces can be transformed into a functional green that'll improve your game and become everyone's favorite spot during weekend hangouts. We're based just 30 minutes north, so we know the drainage challenges, the humidity, and the specific expectations Lilburn homeowners have. The real question isn't whether you have room for a putting green—it's why you'd wait any longer to build one.
Lilburn sits on that notoriously stubborn Gwinnett clay, which is actually why artificial turf works so well here. The heavy clay doesn't drain naturally, so grass—real or fake—needs a solid base plan. We use a crushed stone foundation that slopes properly to move water away from your home and into the Yellow River watershed the way it should. Shade varies wildly depending on whether you're near the larger trees around Lilburn City Park or in one of the more open lots in Killian Hill. We assess sun exposure carefully because even synthetic turf performs differently in full sun versus partial shade. Most Lilburn properties sit between a quarter-acre and half-acre, which gives us good flexibility for putting-green sizing. HOA rules in several neighborhoods around here have specific landscaping guidelines, so we always verify those before breaking ground. The humidity and our summer thunderstorms mean your base prep needs to account for water movement—we're not just laying turf on compacted soil like you might see in drier climates. That prep work is what keeps your green playable year after year instead of becoming a muddy divot trap come July.
Not harder—just different. That dense clay actually helps us create a stable base. We excavate, compact, and add a stone layer that works with the clay to create proper drainage. The clay isn't the enemy when the base is engineered correctly. Most Lilburn yards drain beautifully once we account for the soil type and slope the green toward your drainage plan.
Absolutely. Synthetic turf doesn't go dormant or thin out like natural grass does in heat and humidity. Our installations handle Georgia's summer stress better than real grass ever could. The main thing is ensuring proper base drainage so standing water doesn't create problems. We size our drainage systems for our typical rainfall patterns around Lilburn and Gwinnett County.
Most homeowners build effective greens in 12-by-20 to 15-by-30 spaces. Smaller yards can still work—it's about functionality, not tournament size. We'll walk your property, check sight lines, consider shade patterns, and design something that actually fits your landscape and lifestyle.
Base prep and installation typically takes one to two weeks, depending on size and site conditions. Lilburn clay means we spend time on proper grading and compaction—we don't rush that part. Most homeowners are putting within a couple weeks of us starting the project.
