Starter Home — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A lot of Norcross homeowners we talk to have the same vision: a backyard that actually gets used. Maybe it's entertaining friends near Thrasher Park on a Saturday, or just having a space where the kids can play without tracking red clay through the house. That's where a backyard putting green comes in. It transforms what might be an awkward corner or underused patch into something you'll genuinely spend time on—whether you're working on your short game or just enjoying a cold drink outside. The neighborhoods around Historic Norcross and the Peachtree Corners area have yards that range from modest to sprawling, and that's exactly why we love doing this work here. A putting green isn't some luxury add-on anymore. For homeowners in the 30071, 30092, and 30093 zip codes, it's become a practical, low-maintenance way to reclaim your outdoor space. We've installed dozens of them across Gwinnett County, and the ones in Norcross stand out because homeowners here actually use them. No excuses, no weather delays—just consistent, playable green year-round.
Gwinnett County's clay-heavy soil is both a challenge and an opportunity when you're planning a putting green. That dense red clay drains poorly on its own, which is why proper base preparation matters so much in Norcross. We always start with a solid gravel foundation and perforated drainage layer—it keeps water from pooling and keeps your green playable even after heavy Georgia rain. Sun exposure varies quite a bit depending on your lot. Homes in the Historic Norcross area tend to have mature trees, which actually works in your favor for a putting green. Afternoon shade keeps the synthetic turf cooler and extends its lifespan, while morning sun helps keep the surface dry. If your property borders the commercial-residential zones, you might have less tree cover, so we factor in reflective heat differently. Most yards we work with in Norcross run between 200 and 600 square feet available for a putting green—tight enough that drainage and contour really matter, but plenty of room to build something memorable. HOA rules in some Peachtree Corners neighborhoods do restrict certain landscape modifications, so we always recommend checking your covenants before we schedule the site visit. We can work around almost any restriction, but it's better to know upfront.
Absolutely. Gwinnett clay doesn't permeate well, so we always build a engineered base with gravel and drainage pipe. Without it, water sits on top of the green instead of moving through it. We've seen a lot of backyards in Norcross with standing water issues—a proper base prevents that entirely and gives you a playing surface that holds up through our humid summers.
Not at all—it actually helps. Shade reduces UV damage and keeps synthetic turf cooler during hot months. Most trees around Historic Norcross provide dappled afternoon sun, which is ideal. Morning light still gets to the surface, keeping it dry. We adjust the nap direction and pile height based on your specific shade pattern.
Site prep usually takes 2–4 days depending on the yard size and existing landscape. For a typical Norcross lot, the full installation is done in a week. Weather can add a day or two, especially if we're dealing with clay-soil prep after rain. We'll give you a specific timeline during the site visit.
Some neighborhoods have rules about landscape modifications, but most approve putting greens as long as they're well-maintained and fit the lot. We recommend checking your covenants before we schedule the install. If you need variance approval, we can provide renderings and help with the application process.
