Expert Installation — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A putting green in your Norcross backyard isn't just a golf feature—it's a reason to spend more time outside and practice your short game without the drive to the course. We've installed plenty of these around Historic Norcross and the Peachtree Corners area, and homeowners keep telling us the same thing: they use it way more than they expected. Whether you've got a compact lot near Downtown Norcross or a larger property in one of the surrounding neighborhoods, a well-built putting green fits naturally into the landscape and holds up beautifully through Georgia's weather swings. The clay-heavy soil here in Gwinnett County actually works in our favor during installation—we know how to prep it properly so water drains away and your green stays playable year-round. We're based just 28 minutes away, so we understand the local terrain, the humidity patterns, and what kinds of turf perform best when you're this close to Atlanta.
Norcross sits on Gwinnett clay, which is dense and holds moisture—that's exactly why proper base preparation matters so much. During our initial site visit, we assess drainage patterns specific to your lot because clay doesn't let water move freely like sandier soils do. We build in a gravel and sand base layer that prevents pooling, especially important during Georgia's heavy spring and summer rains. Sun exposure varies significantly around Norcross; properties near Thrasher Park and the Historic district often have mature oak and pine trees that create dappled shade, which actually helps during our hottest months. Most residential lots we work on in the 30071 and 30092 ZIP codes range from modest to mid-sized, so we're experienced at maximizing functionality in tighter spaces. We also pay attention to HOA guidelines if your property falls under community landscape rules—we'll work with those requirements to make sure your green meets restrictions while still delivering the performance you want.
Not if it's handled right. We've built dozens of greens on Gwinnett properties, and the key is a solid base layer. We excavate to proper depth, install perforated drainage pipe, and add gravel and sand to move water away from the turf surface. Clay underneath actually helps stabilize the green and prevents shifting. The real problem happens when someone skips the prep work—that's when you get wet spots. We don't cut corners on base prep.
Yes, especially with the tree coverage common around Historic Norcross and Thrasher Park. Modern synthetic putting turf performs in partial shade better than natural grass does. We'll evaluate your specific light pattern—some properties get morning sun and afternoon shade, which is ideal. We'll recommend the right turf blend for your light conditions so it stays playable and doesn't accumulate moss or algae.
Most residential putting greens take 3–5 days, depending on size and site prep needs. Gwinnett clay excavation and proper drainage setup add a day or two compared to sandier soils, but that's time well spent. We'll give you a realistic timeline during your consultation, and we work around your schedule as much as we can.
We see a lot of success with 300–600 square foot greens in the Norcross area. That's big enough to feel like a real short-game practice space, but it fits naturally into most residential yards without dominating the landscape. We'll walk your property and suggest dimensions that work with your existing drainage, sun patterns, and how you actually want to use the space.
