Sloped Yard — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A sloped backyard in Norcross doesn't have to stay that way. We work with homeowners across Gwinnett County—from Historic Norcross to the Peachtree Corners area—who've got yards that drain poorly, wash out during heavy rains, or just sit unused because the grade makes maintenance a nightmare. Artificial turf sport courts solve that problem in a way natural grass never will. Instead of fighting Gwinnett's clay soil and uneven terrain, you get a level, playable surface that handles rain, holds up to regular use, and looks sharp year-round. Whether you've got kids who need a basketball or soccer practice space, or you just want a flat area that doesn't puddle after storms, we've installed dozens of these courts across the area. The slope that made your yard unusable becomes an asset—we work with the existing terrain to create a professional-grade playing surface that actually improves your property's usability and value.
Norcross sits on Gwinnett clay, which is dense, compacts easily, and doesn't drain like sandy soils do. That means if your yard slopes, water pools in the low spots—exactly the kind of problem a sport court fixes. We design the base layer to manage Gwinnett's rainfall patterns. Your neighbors in Historic Norcross or near Thrasher Park might have similar drainage challenges, and the good news is artificial turf requires zero fertilizer runoff, which helps with local water quality. Sloped yards in the Norcross area often have mixed sun exposure—tree coverage from mature oaks and pines is common. Modern turf handles partial shade better than it did five years ago, so even if part of your court gets dappled light, playability stays consistent. Many residential lots around 30071 and 30093 are moderate-sized, and we've found that a 20x40 or 30x40 court works perfectly for family use. Installation on a slope requires proper grading and drainage rock beneath the turf to prevent settling. We account for freeze-thaw cycles in Gwinnett winters, which can shift soil if the base isn't right.
Many HOAs in Historic Norcross and Peachtree Corners have specific landscaping guidelines, so yes—check your deed restrictions first. Most allow artificial turf if it's well-maintained and looks professional. We've worked with several Norcross HOAs and can help you submit renderings and specifications so approval moves smoothly. It's worth asking your HOA directly, since rules vary by neighborhood.
Slope matters more than total yard size. A gentle grade across 2,000 square feet costs less to level than a steep drop in 1,000 square feet. Norcross clay requires solid base preparation, which adds to cost but prevents future settling. Most sport courts in the area run $8–15 per square foot installed, depending on slope, existing drainage, and turf grade. We'll give you an exact quote after a site visit.
Norcross summers are humid and warm, so yes, turf can heat up. Modern sport-court turf includes cooling additives and infill options designed for exactly this climate. We also help with layout—orienting the court north-south reduces afternoon heat absorption. Trees around your property (common in this area) naturally shade portions, which helps.
Much less than natural grass on clay soil. You'll rinse debris after storms, brush infill occasionally, and that's mostly it. Gwinnett's humidity means occasional algae can appear in very shaded spots, but it's easily managed. We provide a maintenance guide specific to Norcross weather patterns and can schedule annual pro cleanings if you prefer.
