New Construction Home — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Building a new home on Tybee Island? You're picking one of Georgia's most beautiful coastal spots—and that means your yard needs to handle some serious environmental pressure. Salt spray, sand substrate, and constant moisture create a perfect storm for drainage problems, especially during the Atlantic hurricane season. Most new construction homes here end up with pooling water in their yards within the first rainy season because builders don't account for Tybee's unique barrier island hydrology. Artificial turf with proper drainage infrastructure isn't just about having a green lawn—it's about protecting your foundation, preventing erosion around your home's perimeter, and avoiding that swampy mess that kills grass and breeds mosquitoes. Whether you're settling into the North End's established neighborhoods, the quieter Mid-Island areas, or the bustling South End near Tybee Beach, your new home deserves a drainage solution designed for coastal Georgia. We've installed hundreds of systems that handle Tybee's salt-laden air and sand composition without the headaches of natural grass. Let's talk about turning that blank canvas into a functional, beautiful outdoor space.
Tybee Island's barrier island makeup means your soil isn't typical Georgia clay—it's primarily sand with high salt content and poor natural drainage. New construction homes here often have compacted fill that sheds water instead of absorbing it, creating shallow pooling that standard sod can't handle. During installation, we account for Tybee's elevated water table and the salt spray that drifts inland, especially in the North End and Mid-Island where homes sit closer to the ocean. Artificial turf actually thrives here because it eliminates the constant battle against salt burn and moisture stress that kills traditional grass. We install perforated base layers and engineered drainage systems that channel water away from your foundation and toward proper grading—critical in neighborhoods where lots are sometimes only slightly elevated above sea level. Sun exposure varies significantly across the island; properties near the Tybee Lighthouse and beachfront areas get intense afternoon rays, while Mid-Island homes often have more tree cover. We customize infill density and turf pile height based on your specific microclimate. The durability of modern synthetic grass means you won't be replacing it every few years like you would natural grass in these conditions.
Absolutely. Salt spray is actually one of synthetic turf's advantages over natural grass. The materials we use are UV-stabilized and salt-resistant—they won't burn or die like sod does. We rinse systems periodically to keep salts from building up in the infill, and the drainage system prevents salt-saturated water from pooling around your home's foundation, which is a real risk in coastal properties.
Tybee's sandy, compacted base doesn't absorb water naturally, so we don't rely on soil permeability. Instead, we engineer the subsurface with permeable base layers, perforated drainage pipes, and proper slope to direct water away from your home. This is especially important in the South End and Mid-Island where water tables fluctuate with tides and storm surge.
Yes. Our systems are designed to shed water quickly during intense rainfall and drainage-heavy periods. The turf itself is permeable, and the engineered base structure channels water where it needs to go. We ensure proper grading around your new home so water moves away from your foundation and landscaping rather than pooling.
Less than you'd think. Rinse the turf occasionally to remove salt residue and keep the infill fresh. Because you're not mowing, fertilizing, or fighting salt burn like you would with natural grass, maintenance is minimal. The drainage system keeps moisture from creating mold or mildew issues common in coastal yards.
