Sub Base Types — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Your dog has probably turned your Oakwood backyard into a mud pit by now. That clay-heavy soil we get here in Hall County doesn't drain well, especially in the Mundy Mill area where the water table sits higher thanks to Lake Lanier's proximity. Between the summer heat and your pup's paws tearing through natural grass, you're looking at either constant reseeding or a permanent bare spot. Pet turf changes that equation entirely. We've installed artificial grass for dozens of families in Oakwood who got tired of fighting the clay, dealing with muddy paw prints on the kitchen tile, and replacing dead patches every season. The beauty of modern pet turf is that it handles Georgia's humidity, drains faster than your native soil ever will, and gives your dog a safe, durable surface that stays green year-round. No chemicals to worry about, no pesticides your dog ingests, and no maintenance beyond an occasional rinse. We handle the full installation process right here—site prep, proper sub-base material, and the turf itself—so you're not juggling contractors across different specialties.
Hall County clay is honestly a blessing and a curse. It's packed dense, which means it doesn't drain naturally, and that becomes a real problem when you're combining Oakwood's summer humidity with a dog that's outside several hours a day. If your yard sits anywhere in the Mundy Mill neighborhood or closer to the lake, you're dealing with even higher moisture retention. That's exactly why sub-base preparation matters so much here. We don't just lay turf over your existing soil—we're installing a proper drainage layer (usually crushed stone or recycled asphalt) that lets water move through instead of pooling underneath. Sun exposure varies across Oakwood; some lots get full afternoon blaze, others have mature tree coverage that creates shaded pockets. Pet turf performs in both, but we size and select the product based on your specific yard's exposure. Most residential lots in the Oakwood area run between a quarter and half-acre, which gives us plenty of room to work with proper grading. Installation typically takes a day or two depending on yard size and how much prep work the existing soil requires.
Yes, but only if the sub-base is installed correctly. We remove the top layer of clay, install a drainage-friendly base (typically 2–4 inches of recycled asphalt or crushed stone), compact it, and then lay the turf on top. This engineered approach bypasses the clay's poor drainage entirely. Water moves through the artificial grass and sub-base, then disperses laterally or downward into deeper soil layers. Without that sub-base layer, you'd end up with a swampy mess during Hall County's wet season.
Absolutely. Pet-specific artificial grass is engineered without the heavy metals or harmful infill that older sports turf used. Our product is non-toxic, antimicrobial, and designed to handle urine without breaking down or creating odor issues. The perforated backing lets urine drain straight through rather than pooling on the surface. You're giving your dog a cleaner, safer play surface than natural grass that's been treated with fertilizers and pesticides.
Maintenance is minimal compared to natural grass. A quick rinse with the hose once or twice a month keeps it fresh and addresses any pet waste residue. You don't need to mow, fertilize, reseed, or treat for weeds. Georgia's humidity won't cause mold or mildew on properly installed turf with good drainage. If you notice any debris buildup near your deck or fence line, a light rake works fine.
Quality pet turf lasts 10–15 years in our climate. Hall County's summer heat doesn't degrade modern synthetic fibers the way it did older generations of artificial grass. The key is proper installation and drainage—turf sitting on waterlogged soil or with poor sub-base work fails faster. We warranty our installations and use products proven to handle the Southeast's humid, warm conditions.
