Senior Discount — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Waleska's clay-heavy soil is beautiful in the spring, but it becomes a nightmare when water sits on your yard after heavy rain. We've been installing artificial turf drainage systems in Cherokee County for years, and the transition zone between North Cherokee's mountain soil and clay base creates a real challenge for natural grass—especially on properties near the Reinhardt University area where lot sizes vary and grading can be unpredictable. Here's what we see: homeowners spend thousands on re-seeding, aeration, and drainage tiles, only to watch their yard flood again during Georgia's wet season. Artificial turf with a proper drainage base solves this permanently. We handle everything from removing the old soggy sod to installing a engineered gravel and perforated pipe system that keeps water moving away from your home and landscaping. The best part? Once we're done, your yard never floods, never needs reseeding, and honestly, you'll save enough on maintenance that a senior discount feels earned.
Waleska sits in a tricky spot for drainage. The soil transitions from mountain clay to the heavier Cherokee County base, which means water doesn't percolate naturally the way it does in other parts of Georgia. Your yard might look level, but subtle grading issues—common in neighborhoods around Reinhardt—can create low spots where water collects. We design our artificial turf systems with a 1-2% slope and a 4-6 inch base layer of crushed stone that channels water away from your foundation and toward your property's natural drainage corridors. Lot sizes in Waleska tend to be generous, which is actually in your favor; we have room to work with proper grading. Most HOA communities in the area are friendly to artificial turf as long as it looks natural, which ours does. The clay soil also means we have to be careful about base compaction—too tight and water pools, too loose and the surface shifts. We use a vibrating plate compactor to get it just right. Installation typically takes 3-5 days depending on yard size and how much old drainage work needs removing.
Cherokee County's transition zone has high clay content that doesn't drain naturally. Water sits on top instead of percolating down, which is why yards near Reinhardt and throughout Waleska get boggy after rain. Artificial turf with engineered drainage bypasses this problem entirely—water moves through our base system and away from your yard rather than relying on soil absorption.
Absolutely. Slope is actually helpful—we just need to make sure the base grading channels water correctly. We install perforated drain pipes that follow the natural slope of your lot and direct water to appropriate exit points away from your home's foundation and landscaping.
Most Waleska yards take 3-5 days from removal through final turf install. Larger properties or those with significant grading needs might run 5-7 days. We work around rain schedules and try to avoid scheduling during peak Cherokee County wet season, though our system handles it either way.
Seniors get 10-15% off installation, which adds up fast on a full yard drainage system. More importantly, you never maintain it—no mowing, aerating, or re-seeding those trouble spots. The system lasts 15+ years, and you'll recover the investment in reduced yard work and water bills within a few seasons.
