Vs Gravel — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A lot of Norcross homeowners we talk to have the same problem: they want a pristine putting green in their backyard, but gravel just doesn't cut it. Gravel shifts, compacts unevenly, drains poorly in Gwinnett clay, and honestly, it looks rough after a few Georgia rainstorms. Artificial turf is the answer those folks are looking for—especially in neighborhoods like Historic Norcross and around Peachtree Corners where curb appeal matters and yard space is at a premium. We've installed putting greens for residents across all three ZIP codes (30071, 30092, 30093), and the difference between a gravel setup and a proper synthetic green is night and day. Your ball rolls true, it drains perfectly, and it stays green year-round without the maintenance nightmare. Whether your yard gets full sun exposure or sits partly shaded near one of the mature trees common to the area, artificial turf adapts better than you'd think. We handle everything from the initial site prep to final finishing—and we're only 28 minutes away when you're ready to get started.
Norcross sits on Gwinnett clay, which is heavy, dense, and doesn't drain naturally the way sandy soils do. That's actually one of the biggest reasons gravel fails here—it settles into the clay and becomes compacted, losing its drainage properties. With artificial turf, we build a proper base layer system underneath that accounts for this clay composition and ensures water moves through correctly, even during heavy Atlanta-area thunderstorms. Lot sizes in Historic Norcross and the surrounding residential areas tend to be moderate—typically a quarter to half-acre—so we're usually working with defined spaces that are perfect for putting green installations. Sunlight varies depending on whether you're near mature tree canopies (common in older neighborhoods) or in the more open commercial-adjacent zones. Our turf systems handle both scenarios, though we'll discuss sun exposure during the site visit because it affects ball speed and maintenance expectations. HOA regulations in some Peachtree Corners developments may have specific landscaping requirements, so we always verify those before breaking ground. The key difference from gravel: our installation includes proper compaction, drainage underlayment, and secure edging—all of which matter on Gwinnett clay.
Yes—that's actually where we excel. Gwinnett clay doesn't drain on its own, so gravel just sits and compacts. We install a layered base (compacted stone, drainage blanket, and sand) that forces water through the system and away from your turf. It's designed specifically for clay-heavy areas like yours. Proper grading and subsurface prep make all the difference.
Our turf holds up well in partial shade because it's not living—it doesn't need photosynthesis. Full sun areas will show slightly more vibrant color, but even shaded putting greens stay functional and green. We can discuss sun patterns during the site visit and recommend turf specs if you've got significant tree coverage.
Completely. Gravel traps debris, shifts in rain, and compacts over time on clay. Artificial turf just needs occasional brushing and rinsing. No weeds, no restocking, no raking after storms. In Georgia's humidity and rain cycles, that's a massive advantage—and it holds up better cosmetically long-term.
Most residential greens take 3–5 days from initial prep through final installation. Site conditions (existing gravel removal, grade adjustments for clay) can add a day or two. We'll give you an exact timeline during the estimate. Weather rarely delays us since we work through most Georgia conditions.
