Satisfaction Guarantee — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Norcross yards deal with real drainage challenges—especially once you move beyond Downtown toward the Peachtree Corners area where that heavy Gwinnett clay sits underneath. We've spent enough time working in 30071 and 30092 to know that standing water isn't just an eyesore; it kills grass and turns your yard into a mud pit after rain. Artificial turf solves that problem, but only if the foundation underneath actually works. That's where drainage repair comes in. Before we lay down premium synthetic turf, we're fixing what's broken below—regrading, installing perforated base layers, and making sure water moves away from your home instead of pooling in your landscaping. Homeowners around Historic Norcross and nearby neighborhoods trust us to do this right because we guarantee it. If your yard floods, if puddles linger for days, or if you're sick of muddy patches killing your lawn, we'll assess the real problem and build a solution that lasts. Your satisfaction isn't negotiable—it's the foundation of everything we do.
Gwinnett clay is dense and doesn't drain naturally like sandy soil does. In Norcross neighborhoods, especially the older residential sections, you'll often find topsoil that's compacted from years of foot traffic or previous landscaping work. Sun exposure varies significantly depending on whether you're near tree-lined streets in Historic Norcross or the more open lots toward Peachtree Corners. Before artificial turf installation, we assess your yard's existing slope and water flow patterns. Properties in the 30093 area sometimes sit lower than surrounding streets, which means water naturally flows toward them—something we correct during drainage prep. Most Norcross yards are mid-sized residential lots, which means we can usually install comprehensive drainage without major excavation. We also check for underground utilities and HOA requirements; many Norcross communities have landscape guidelines about edging and finished height. Our standard approach includes removing compacted soil, installing a permeable base layer, and sloping the surface slightly away from structures. This prep work is what keeps artificial turf looking perfect year after year, even during Georgia's wet springs.
Gwinnett clay compacts over time, especially in established neighborhoods around Historic Norcross. Compacted soil acts like concrete—water can't penetrate it, so it sits on the surface instead of draining down. We break up that hardpan during prep, install a graded base, and add perforated drainage stone. This redirects water toward natural grades or away from your home. Most Norcross yards see dramatically better drainage within days of installation.
Turf itself is permeable, but it won't fix a broken foundation. If your Norcross yard has pooling water, compacted soil, or poor grading, we repair that first. The turf goes down on top of a system that's already working. That's why we guarantee satisfaction—we're not hiding problems under synthetic grass.
It depends on how severe the compaction is and whether we need to regrade slopes or install additional drainage stone. A typical Norcross residential lot runs between $800 and $2,500 for prep work alone. We assess your yard free and give you an exact quote before any work starts. Many homeowners see it as insurance against future problems.
