How To Install — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Lilburn homeowners have been asking us about putting greens for years—and honestly, it makes sense. Your yards are mature, well-established, and most of you have the space to create something really special. We've installed dozens of artificial putting greens across Gwinnett County, including right here in neighborhoods around Lilburn City Park and over in Killian Hill, and we've learned what works and what doesn't in this part of Georgia. The thing about a backyard putting green is that it's not just about the turf itself. It's about understanding your specific lot, your sun exposure, how water drains through that Gwinnett clay, and what your neighbors' expectations are. We handle all of that before we ever break ground. Whether you're looking to practice your short game year-round without driving to the range, or you just want a conversation piece in your backyard, artificial turf gives you a maintenance-free option that stays playable through Georgia summers and actually looks better than natural grass after a few years of wear. Let's talk about what makes sense for your property.
Lilburn's suburban character means most of your yards sit on dense Gwinnett clay—that's actually good news for putting green installation because it provides a stable base. What it also means is drainage is critical. We don't install putting greens flat; we slope them slightly to move water away from the play surface, and we use a permeable base layer to handle Georgia's heavy rain events. Sun exposure varies wildly depending on whether you're near Lilburn City Park or tucked into the more tree-heavy sections around Killian Hill. Mature oaks and pines are beautiful, but they can create shade patterns that affect both the turf's performance and how water dries after rain. We assess this during the site visit—some properties benefit from selective limbing, others just need a turf system rated for partial shade. Your lot size matters too. Most Lilburn properties have enough depth for a modest 500–1,500 square-foot green, though we've done smaller practice areas and larger layouts. HOA rules vary by neighborhood, so we always recommend checking your covenants first. A few Lilburn communities have specific guidelines about "athletic facilities," though most homeowners find putting greens fall under landscape improvements.
Gwinnett clay compacts hard, which is actually beneficial—it won't shift or settle unevenly under the turf. The challenge is drainage. We add a perforated base layer and slope the surface to prevent water pooling. During heavy rain, water drains through the turf and base, then disperses into the surrounding soil. If your yard already has drainage issues, we address that before install.
Absolutely, though we recommend turf specifically rated for 4–6 hours of indirect sun. If you're under heavy tree cover near Killian Hill or similar areas, we'll be honest if artificial turf is the right call versus natural grass alternatives. Most modern turf systems handle dappled shade fine; dense evergreen shade is trickier but manageable with the right product.
Check your community's covenants—most Lilburn neighborhoods allow landscape improvements without issue, but some have guidelines about "athletic facilities" or ground-level modifications. A few want to see plans first. It takes 10 minutes to review your docs, and we're happy to help you understand what's required before moving forward.
From first site visit to finished green usually takes 2–3 weeks. Weather can extend that slightly (we avoid installing during heavy rain). We're based about 30 minutes north, so scheduling and communication are quick. Most Lilburn installs happen in spring or fall when the weather cooperates.
