Fixer Upper — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Your artificial turf in McCollum has been through the Georgia heat, the clay soil shifts, and maybe a few too many seasons without proper care. We get it—that patchy lawn near the McCollum Airport corridor or those worn spots along the East Cobb border take a beating. The good news is that repair doesn't always mean a full replacement. Most yards in the 30062 area just need targeted fixes: seam work, infill top-ups, drainage adjustments to handle our clay, or spot replacements where heavy foot traffic has done damage. We're only 15 minutes away, which means we know your soil, your climate patterns, and the specific wear patterns McCollum homeowners deal with. Whether your turf is five years old or fifteen, we can assess what's salvageable and what needs refreshing. The goal is getting your yard looking intentional again—not like it's been neglected—without the cost and hassle of tearing everything out.
McCollum's East Cobb clay is no joke. It holds moisture differently than sandy soils, which affects how artificial turf drains and how the base settles over time. Our clay also expands and contracts with temperature swings, so seams can separate or shift if the installation wasn't done with that in mind. Sun exposure varies dramatically across the area—some properties near the aviation corridor get intense afternoon heat, while homes tucked into the East Cobb neighborhoods might have oak shade that keeps turf cooler but traps moisture. Most McCollum yards are quarter-to-half-acre residential lots, so repair work tends to be focused rather than sprawling. If your turf was installed 7+ years ago, the infill has probably compacted and settled into the clay base, reducing shock absorption and creating hard patches. Proper repair here means re-raking, adding fresh infill, and addressing any base settling caused by that clay movement. We also account for the region's occasional heavy rain events—your drainage layer needs to be functioning correctly or moisture gets trapped against the clay.
Partly, yes. Our East Cobb clay expands and contracts seasonally, which stresses seams if the base wasn't properly compacted during installation. But it's also age-related wear. We can re-seam the affected areas and reinforce the base underneath to prevent it from happening again. Usually a repair job, not a full replacement.
Turf actually handles intense sun better than natural grass in hot zones. However, extreme heat can soften certain synthetic fibers if they're low-quality. Our repairs use premium, heat-rated materials designed for Georgia sun. We also ensure proper infill—it acts as a heat buffer and keeps the surface temperature manageable.
Every 2–3 years, depending on foot traffic and whether you have pets. Our clay soil doesn't absorb infill the way sandy regions do, so it tends to migrate down into the base faster. We'll assess your current infill depth during a repair visit and recommend when you'll need refreshing.
Sometimes. If the base is stable and seams aren't catastrophically separated, we can do targeted repairs and reinforce drainage. But if the clay has shifted significantly, a full base redo is safer long-term. We'll inspect and give you honest options—not every repair requires a complete overhaul.
