Base Prep — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A putting green in your Norcross backyard sounds like a luxury—and honestly, it doesn't have to cost like one. We've installed dozens of them across Gwinnett County, from the Historic Norcross neighborhoods to the Peachtree Corners area, and every single homeowner tells us the same thing: they wish they'd done it sooner. Your yard is prime real estate, whether you've got a quarter-acre lot near Downtown Norcross or a larger residential property tucked into one of the established subdivisions around here. The thing about Norcross is that a lot of folks have the space and the interest, but they're hesitant about the upkeep. Real grass putting greens demand constant attention—watering, mowing, fertilizing, dealing with the clay-heavy soil we've got here in Gwinnett. Artificial turf eliminates that entire headache. You get that perfectly manicured, tournament-quality green year-round without the sweat equity. Our team has been working in this area long enough to know exactly what works. We handle the base prep the right way, accounting for drainage patterns and the compacted clay that's common around here, so your green plays true and lasts.
Gwinnett County clay is no joke—it's dense, it drains poorly, and it's the reason we never skip base preparation in Norcross installations. Before we lay a single blade of synthetic turf, we're dealing with that foundation. Most yards here have mixed sun and shade patterns depending on whether you're near Thrasher Park's tree cover or in the more open residential areas. That affects green speed and how much maintenance-free your turf actually is. Clay also means water pooling is a real risk if we don't slope and prep correctly. Norcross yards tend to range from modest quarter-acre lots in Historic Norcross to more generous spaces in the surrounding neighborhoods. HOA rules vary—some communities have strict landscape guidelines, others are pretty flexible. We handle all of that before we break ground. The biggest local consideration is that Gwinnett clay requires a compacted base layer, proper crushed stone aggregate, and drainage channels. Skip that step and you'll have a soggy, uneven green by next spring. We build it to last, which means respecting the soil you're working with.
We excavate to proper depth, install a perforated drainage layer, add crushed stone aggregate, and slope the base away from low points. Gwinnett clay compacts tight, so we engineer it intentionally—your green will drain clean even after heavy Atlanta-area rain. No pooling, no soft spots.
Most do, especially in established communities around Historic Norcross and Peachtree Corners. We've navigated dozens of HOA approvals in Gwinnett County. They care about appearance and property values—a well-installed, maintenance-free green actually improves both. We handle the approval conversation.
Most Norcross lots work best with 400–800 square feet. That gives you multiple hole layouts and real practice space without overwhelming your yard. We've done smaller (200 sq ft) and larger (1200+ sq ft), but the sweet spot for typical Gwinnett neighborhoods is right in that middle range.
Base prep is the time variable. With Gwinnett clay, proper excavation and compaction typically takes 2–3 days. Turf installation itself is usually 1–2 days. Total project from start to finish: 4–6 business days, depending on weather and yard conditions.
