New Construction Home — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
New construction in Peachtree Corners comes with a lot of moving parts, and drainage is one of those things builders don't always get right. You've got your landscaping plan in place, maybe you're looking at artificial turf for the backyard, but if water's pooling in corners or running toward your foundation, you've got a problem before you've even started. That's where we come in. Whether you're in The Forum area, near Technology Park, or anywhere else in the 30092, 30096, or 30097 zips, the clay-heavy soil in Gwinnett County doesn't play nice with poor drainage. It holds water. Your new sod—real or artificial—sits on top of a moisture problem, and suddenly you're dealing with dead spots, mold, or worse. We've worked with plenty of new-build homeowners here who thought their landscape contractor had it handled. Turns out, drainage needs its own attention. Before we install artificial turf, we make sure water moves the way it should. That means grading, subsurface solutions, and a base that actually drains instead of trapping water against your yard. It's not glamorous work, but it's the difference between a lawn that stays green and one that turns into a swamp come spring.
Peachtree Corners sits in Gwinnett County, which means you're dealing with that signature red clay that the whole metro area knows about. It's dense, it compacts easily, and it doesn't drain fast on its own. If your new construction home is in The Forum or near Jones Bridge Park, your lot was likely graded during development, but that doesn't mean the drainage underneath the new topsoil is adequate. New builds in the tech corridor tend toward smaller backyards with tight grading, which means water has nowhere to go if the base preparation isn't right. Before artificial turf installation, we assess slope, check for clay pockets, and install proper drainage fabric and base layers that account for Gwinnett's soil reality. Many HOA communities in Peachtree Corners have landscape rules around water runoff—they don't want drainage issues flowing into common areas—so getting it right the first time protects you from future conflicts. Sun exposure varies depending on your specific street and tree maturity, but most new-construction lots have less shade than established neighborhoods. That's actually helpful for drainage; full-sun yards dry faster and don't trap moisture as easily.
Absolutely. The clay holds moisture against the turf base, which can lead to mold, algae, and a spongy feel underfoot. We install a gravel base and drainage fabric specifically designed for Gwinnett soil. This lifts water away from the turf and prevents that boggy feeling. It's not optional here—it's essential.
Most likely, yes. Builders grade for code compliance, not perfect drainage. We assess your specific lot, check for low spots, and recommend grading adjustments if needed. In The Forum, lot sizes and configurations vary, so we evaluate each yard individually before recommending solutions.
It depends on scope. A simple base prep and fabric install might take a day or two. Full grading plus base work could take longer. We'll walk your yard and give you a realistic timeline before we start. Most Peachtree Corners jobs are completed within a week.
Good question. Many Peachtree Corners communities, including those near Technology Park, have drainage rules. We're familiar with local HOA requirements and design solutions that meet their standards. We can also help you understand what's compliant before we start work.
