Sloped Yard — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A putting green transforms your Norcross backyard into something genuinely special—and honestly, it's one of the smartest investments we see homeowners make in this area. Whether your place sits in Historic Norcross or closer to the Peachtree Corners side of town, sloped yards are actually pretty common around here, and that's where a well-designed putting green really shines. Instead of fighting that grade every time you mow, you're turning it into a functional, elegant feature that adds real value to your property. We've installed these for clients all across Gwinnett County, and Norcross yards have their own rhythm—clay-heavy soil, varied shade patterns depending on tree coverage, and that humid Georgia summer that artificial turf handles beautifully. A putting green isn't just for golf fanatics, either. It's a conversation starter, a way to reclaim dead space in your yard, and something your family actually uses year-round. The maintenance? Virtually nothing compared to trying to keep grass healthy on a slope. We can work around existing trees, drainage patterns, and whatever layout makes sense for your specific property.
Norcross sits on that classic Gwinnett clay base, which actually works in your favor when we're installing a putting green. Clay drains differently than sandy soil, so we engineer the base layer accordingly—proper grading and perforated subsurface keeps water from pooling even during those heavy Georgia downpours. Sloped yards in this area often catch afternoon sun on one side and shade from mature oaks on the other, which shapes how we position the green and what infill we recommend. The neighborhoods around Historic Norcross and toward Thrasher Park tend to have older trees and established landscapes, so we're usually working around existing shade patterns and root systems. Summer heat here is intense, and artificial turf stays cooler underfoot than you'd expect—plus it holds up through the humidity without the fungal issues natural grass battles in this climate. HOA considerations vary depending on whether you're in a strict covenanted community, so we always check those restrictions first. Most residential lots in Norcross give us decent working space, though we've done beautiful smaller greens in tight yards too. Drainage is always our priority on slopes, and Gwinnett's clay requires we get that foundation right.
Absolutely—slopes are actually ideal for putting greens. We grade and contour to create natural-looking breaks and drainage paths. Gwinnett's clay soil needs proper base preparation, but we handle that routinely. The slope becomes part of the design, not a problem. We've installed greens on everything from gentle grades to fairly steep lots across the area.
Minimal. You'll brush it occasionally to keep the pile standing and remove debris, maybe rinse it during dry spells. Georgia's humidity won't cause mold or fungal issues like natural grass battles. No fertilizer, no mowing, no watering. Summer heat here is intense, but quality turf handles it better than trying to keep live grass alive on a slope.
Tree coverage is typical around Historic Norcross and Peachtree Corners. Artificial turf doesn't need sunlight to stay green, so shade isn't a problem—it's actually a bonus since the turf stays cooler. We work around existing trees, protect root systems during installation, and often use that dappled light as part of the aesthetic.
Clay requires engineered drainage more than sandy soils do. We create a properly graded base with perforated layers and subsurface flow paths so water moves away from the green instead of pooling. It's standard practice for us in Gwinnett County, and it ensures your green stays playable even after heavy rain.
