Vs Sod — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A lot of Norcross homeowners tell us the same thing: they love the idea of a backyard putting green, but they're hesitant because they've seen what natural grass does in Gwinnett clay. The reality is that maintaining a real sod green in this area means fighting against compacted soil, inconsistent drainage, and the Georgia heat that turns grass dormant come winter. We've installed putting greens across Historic Norcross and the Peachtree Corners neighborhoods that look pristine year-round—no brown patches, no muddy divots, no seasonal die-off. Artificial turf solves what natural grass can't handle in our climate. You get that championship-quality playing surface without the constant watering, fertilizing, and repair cycles that eat up your weekends. Whether your lot is tight like many of the residential properties near downtown or you've got more room to work with, we can design a green that fits your space and your game. It's one of those home upgrades that actually pays dividends in daily enjoyment rather than just curb appeal.
Norcross sits on some stubborn Gwinnett clay, which is honestly one of the reasons artificial turf makes so much sense for a putting green. Clay compacts easily, holds water in ways that create soft, uneven lies, and makes consistent green speed nearly impossible with natural grass. The tree cover in neighborhoods like Historic Norcross can also work against you—shade patterns change seasonally, and grass in those spots tends to thin out. Our artificial greens handle mixed sun-and-shade yards without the patchy growth issues you'd get with sod. Most residential lots in Norcross are sized so that a 400–800 square foot putting surface fits nicely without dominating the backyard. We account for the way water naturally flows through your yard during heavy rains, making sure your green drains properly even on flat or slightly sloped terrain. Installation typically takes a day or two, and we handle the base prep carefully because that clay base needs proper grading and a solid foundation layer. Once it's in, you're looking at a surface that stays firm in summer, doesn't get waterlogged in spring, and plays true every single time you step up to putt.
Absolutely. Our turf is specifically rated for Georgia's hot, humid summers. Unlike natural sod, it won't go dormant or thin out in July heat. The material we use reflects heat better than you'd expect, stays playable even on 95-degree days, and the drainage system handles the heavy afternoon thunderstorms that roll through Norcross regularly. You'll have consistent surface conditions no matter the season.
Most HOAs in the Norcross area allow artificial turf, especially for functional features like putting greens rather than full lawn replacement. We've worked with several neighborhood associations in both areas and can help you navigate any requirements or guidelines. We recommend checking your specific HOA bylaws or having us contact them directly to confirm approval before breaking ground.
Much less than you'd think. No mowing, no fertilizer, no fungicide spraying during Gwinnett's humid summers. You'll do basic grooming—brushing the nap occasionally and rinsing off debris after storms. That's it. We typically recommend a professional refresh every 3–5 years, but your green stays playable and attractive year-round with minimal effort.
Clay actually requires more careful base prep than loamy soil, but that's exactly our wheelhouse. We grade the clay properly, add a compacted base layer for drainage, and ensure your green has the right slope. It takes a bit more attention upfront, but it results in a more stable, longer-lasting green. Most Norcross installations wrap up in one or two days.
