Lifetime Warranty — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Pine Lake's a special place—quiet, community-focused, and built around that beautiful private lake. But here's what a lot of homeowners discover after a heavy rain: the DeKalb clay that surrounds our little lake doesn't play nice with water drainage. It compacts, it pools, and it turns yards into mud pits. If you've got soggy patches that won't dry out, or if you're tired of that spongy feeling underfoot after a storm, artificial turf with proper drainage underneath is genuinely transformative. We've spent the last 30 minutes' drive from our shop working on Pine Lake properties, and we know exactly what your soil is doing—and how to fight back. The real win isn't just about having a green yard year-round. It's about installing a system that actually moves water away from your foundation, keeps your landscape usable even in Georgia's wet seasons, and comes with a lifetime warranty so you're protected no matter what. That's not marketing talk; that's what we've built our reputation on in this community.
Pine Lake sits on DeKalb clay, which is dense, slow-draining stuff. That clay works great for keeping the lake where it is, but it's murder on residential yards. Water sits instead of percolating, especially in the low spots that naturally form around the community. Before we install artificial turf, we're addressing the real problem underneath—a perforated drain layer, gravel base, and sometimes French drain runs depending on your lot's slope and size. Most Pine Lake yards are modest in footprint, which actually works in your favor for drainage retrofits. We're not trying to solve a five-acre problem; we're solving a real neighborhood-scale issue with precision. Shade varies depending on whether you're near the tree line or closer to the beach area, but either way, our synthetic grass is UVstabilized for Georgia sun and designed to shed water fast. The key difference between a DIY job and a professional install here is understanding how Clay behaves when it's disturbed—you've got to prep it right, or water just finds a new path around your system. That's where the lifetime warranty kicks in. We're not just laying down turf; we're engineering a solution for Pine Lake's specific soil and weather patterns.
DeKalb clay has low permeability—water moves through it slowly or not at all. If your yard's in a low spot or if your neighbor's is slightly higher, you'll notice drainage differences immediately. That's why proper base preparation under artificial turf matters so much here. We install a engineered drainage layer that moves water laterally and downslope, bypassing the clay's limitations.
Not your entire yard, but yes, we do need to excavate 4–6 inches to remove existing grass and prep the base. For Pine Lake's typical residential lots, that's a contained project. We haul everything away, install the drainage system, and compact the base correctly so water doesn't repool months later.
Absolutely. Our lifetime warranty covers materials and workmanship, including the drainage system we install. If water pools after a proper installation, it's on us to fix it—no exceptions. We're confident because we've diagnosed Pine Lake's clay problem thousands of times and engineered solutions that actually work.
Most residential projects in Pine Lake take 3–5 days, depending on lot size and drainage complexity. We schedule around your schedule, and because we're 30 minutes away, we can often fit in mobilization quickly. Once we're done, your yard is functional immediately—no long cure time.
