Winter Care — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Lilburn homeowners who've invested in a quality putting green know the real payoff comes in winter—when Georgia's clay soil turns to paste and your neighbors' natural grass goes dormant. Your synthetic green stays vibrant, stays playable, and stays looking sharp from November straight through February. We've installed dozens of putting greens across Killian Hill and near Lilburn City Park, and the pattern's always the same: folks think about installation in spring, but they fall in love with their turf when December rolls around and they're still chipping on a pristine surface. Unlike the muddy, compacted yards you'll see throughout Gwinnett County this time of year, an artificial green gives you that resort-quality feel in your own backyard. No drainage headaches from our heavy clay. No brown patches. No guilt about letting the yard go dormant. Just consistent, playable turf that actually improves your game instead of testing your patience.
Lilburn's clay-heavy soil creates both opportunity and challenge for putting green installation. The good news: it's stable and won't shift under your turf like sandy soil does. The catch is drainage. Our crews always recommend a proper base layer—crushed stone and perforated drain pipe—because Gwinnett clay doesn't shed water the way you'd want it to naturally. Lot sizes in the mature neighborhoods around Killian Hill tend toward quarter-acre and smaller, which means your putting green is often the centerpiece of a tight backyard space. We design accordingly: think 12x18 or 15x20 greens that don't compete with a deck or patio. Sun exposure varies. Properties near Lilburn City Park often catch afternoon shade from mature oaks and pines, which actually reduces heat stress on synthetic turf in summer—a real advantage. Winter maintenance here is minimal: an occasional brush to keep fibers standing up, and that's really it. No watering, no fertilizer, no mowing. Our Lilburn customers tell us they spend more time using the green than maintaining it, which is exactly how it should be.
Georgia bermuda grass goes dormant around November and won't green up again until May. Your synthetic green stays tournament-ready all winter. In Lilburn's climate, that's a 5-6 month advantage. You're chipping and putting while natural grass neighborhoods look brown and bare. That's not just aesthetics—it's actually using your yard during the months when outdoor living usually stops.
Not if it's installed right. We excavate 4-6 inches, lay crushed stone with a perforated drain line running beneath, then add a leveling sand base. The clay underneath actually becomes your drainage barrier, funneling water toward the outlets. It's different from sandy regions, but clay works in your favor once you account for it during installation.
Absolutely. Most Lilburn lots have 1,500-2,500 square feet of usable yard space. A well-designed 12x18 green takes up maybe 200 square feet and leaves plenty of room for a patio, seating area, or landscaping. We've done dozens in the neighborhoods around Lilburn City Park—tight spaces that play bigger once the green goes in.
Brush the surface every 2-3 weeks with a stiff-bristled broom to keep the fibers standing upright and remove any debris. That's it. No watering, no fertilizing, no seasonal closeout. In Lilburn's winter, that 10-minute maintenance task is about your only commitment. Compare that to mowing, aerating, and dormancy management on natural grass—synthetic wins every time.
