Fixer Upper — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Clayton County clay is a beast. If you're dealing with a yard in Morrow that turns into a swamp after rain, collects standing water near your foundation, or has bare patches where grass refuses to grow, you're not alone—and you're not stuck with it. The soil here holds moisture like a sponge, especially in the commercial corridor areas around Southlake Mall and near Clayton State. That means drainage problems are basically par for the course in this part of Georgia. We've spent years working in Morrow's neighborhoods, and we've seen what happens when homeowners try to band-aid poor drainage with new sod or more watering. It doesn't work. What does work is getting the foundation right: proper grading, a solid base layer, and quality artificial turf that actually lets water through instead of pooling on top. Whether your property slopes toward your house, your clay soil compacts worse every year, or you've already fought the good fight against mud and dead grass, we can fix it. The install takes a fraction of the time you'd spend fighting Mother Nature, and once it's down, the drainage problems are done.
Morrow sits on some of the stickiest clay soil in Clayton County, which is beautiful for building foundations but brutal for yards. That clay doesn't drain naturally—water sits, compacts, and creates the perfect conditions for washouts and bare spots. Around the Southlake Mall area and Clayton State neighborhoods, you'll notice yards range from tightly spaced residential lots to larger properties, but almost all of them face the same moisture challenge. Sun exposure varies too; some homes back up to wooded areas and stay shaded most of the day, while others get full Georgia heat. Artificial turf actually thrives in these conditions because we engineer the drainage system underneath—we're not fighting your native clay, we're working around it. We install a permeable base that sits above the clay, uses gravel or recycled rubber for stability, and includes slope work to direct water away from your foundation and toward street runoff or drainage zones. The turf itself is engineered to handle heavy rain without becoming a bog. Installation in Morrow typically means dealing with mature trees, proximity to commercial zones, and HOA rules that vary by neighborhood, so we assess each property individually rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.
Clayton County's clay soil drains slowly by nature, but grading matters too. If your yard slopes toward your house or has low spots, water naturally pools there. We evaluate your property's slope during the consultation and can adjust grading when we install artificial turf, directing water away from your foundation and toward proper drainage zones. One fix, permanent solution.
Yes. We design our drainage system specifically for Georgia's rainfall patterns. Water penetrates the turf and moves through the permeable base layer we install—not pooling on top. The gravel and support layers underneath act like a mini-drainage system, moving water laterally toward your yard's edges or existing drainage points. No swamps.
Not anymore. Modern artificial turf looks incredibly realistic—color, blade texture, and density are nearly indistinguishable from natural grass from a normal distance. Around Southlake Mall and Clayton State areas, we've installed in neighborhoods where variety is normal. Most homeowners love the consistency; it stays green year-round and never looks muddy or patchy.
Most residential installations take 3–5 days, depending on your property size and how much grading or base work the clay soil requires. We handle the whole project—grading, drainage system, turf installation—so you're not coordinating multiple contractors. We're about 30 minutes from most Morrow locations, so scheduling is straightforward.
