Base Prep — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A putting green in your Peachtree Corners backyard sounds like a luxury—and honestly, it kind of is. But here's the thing: it's way more achievable than most homeowners think, especially in the Gwinnett County area where we've been installing these for years. Whether you're tucked into The Forum area, near Technology Park, or anywhere in those 30092, 30096, or 30097 ZIP codes, you've got space that deserves to work harder for you. Instead of watching grass struggle in our clay-heavy soil or spending weekends mowing, picture stepping outside for a quick round before breakfast. No weather delays. No dead patches from our humid summers. Just a perfectly manicured putting surface that plays the same every single time. We've worked with dozens of Peachtree Corners homeowners who thought their yard layout or soil conditions made it impossible. Turns out, they just needed someone who understood how to build a proper base in this specific part of North Atlanta. The groundwork matters more than most people realize—and that's exactly where most DIY attempts fall apart. Your base determines everything: how the ball rolls, how long it lasts, how it handles our unpredictable spring rains and summer heat. We handle the engineering so you can handle the short putts.
Peachtree Corners sits on thick Gwinnett clay, which is honestly the main reason a solid base prep matters so much. Clay doesn't drain like sandy soil. It holds water, compacts unevenly, and if you don't address it properly, your putting surface will develop soft spots and puddles within a season. Here in Technology Park and The Forum neighborhoods, we're also seeing a lot of mature trees—which creates shade patterns that shift with the seasons. That affects both your turf choice and how aggressively you need to manage drainage. Most Peachtree Corners homes fall into the suburban 0.5- to 1.5-acre range, so space for a quality putting green is usually there; it's just about choosing the right spot. Sun exposure matters tremendously. We typically recommend 4–6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal performance in this climate. HOA restrictions vary by neighborhood, so we always check first—some communities have specific guidelines on artificial surfaces, colors, or perimeter landscaping. Humidity and heat in summer mean we spec drainage layers that handle aggressive rainfall without pooling. And because the clay underneath is prone to settling, we build a compacted gravel and sand base engineered for stability over years, not months.
Absolutely. Artificial turf actually thrives in our humidity because it never develops the fungal issues or dead patches that real grass does. What matters is the base prep—we use drainage systems designed specifically for Gwinnett clay so water doesn't sit underneath. The turf itself stays cooler than you'd think, especially if we add a perforated base layer. We've got installations in The Forum that've been flawless for five-plus years.
That's actually our first step on every site visit. We test drainage, measure slope, and identify any settling issues. Gwinnett clay is dense, which isn't a bad thing—it just means we need to cut deeper, add proper gravel and sand layers, and compact everything to spec. We never skip this. A bad base shows up within 6 months, and nobody wants that.
Most homes here can comfortably fit a 300–600 square foot green. We've done smaller (150 sq ft) and larger (1,000+), but the sweet spot balances playability with space you actually have. The Forum and Technology Park lots vary, so it really depends on your yard. We measure during the consultation and map out options.
Most do, but restrictions vary by neighborhood. Some cap the size, others have color requirements, and a few want landscaping around the perimeter. We check your HOA docs before we quote anything. It saves everyone time and ensures your project won't hit delays down the road.
