Georgia summers are brutal on natural grass. You water it twice a week, mow it every Saturday, patch bare spots after every drought, and by August you are looking at a yard that is half brown and half weeds. The maintenance never stops and the results are never reliable.
The trouble is that quitting natural grass the wrong way is just as frustrating. Cheap synthetic turf dropped on top of existing soil bubbles up within a season, holds water in all the wrong places, and starts pulling apart at the seams by year three. Most turf failures are not about the turf itself. They are about what was skipped underneath.
Proper synthetic turf installation starts two feet below the surface. Gravel base depth, compaction with heavy equipment, precise grading for drainage: these are the factors that determine whether your turf lasts three years or twenty. Skip any one of them and you are replacing the whole job.
Liba handles the full process: excavation of the existing soil, gravel base installation, skid steer compaction for a stable and level surface, then commercial-grade turf laid with the drainage built in from the start. We do not do turf-only installs on unprepared ground. Every job gets a base that holds up through Georgia heat, heavy rain, and years of foot traffic.
Once it is down, you are done. No watering schedules. No weekly mowing. No fertilizer runs in April. No reseeding dead patches after a hot dry August. UV-stabilized fibers hold their color and structure through the same summers that kill natural grass in Covington every year.
We install residential back yards, front yards, pet areas, and commercial properties. Serving Covington, Conyers, McDonough, Monroe, Loganville, and surrounding Newton County.
Bermuda grass goes dormant and turns brown every winter in Georgia, which is one of the main reasons Newton County homeowners switch to synthetic turf. The other is shade. Bermuda and Zoysia both need full sun to stay thick. Under tree canopy or on the north side of a structure, grass thins out no matter how well it is maintained. Synthetic turf holds color year-round and performs in shaded areas where no grass variety will. Georgia summers get hot enough that premium heat-reducing infill is worth the upgrade for turf used regularly by kids or pets.
What Every Installation Includes
Four clean steps from bare ground to finished lawn.
We measure the area, evaluate drainage, and confirm the subbase condition before any material is ordered.
Existing grass or soil is excavated to the correct depth, borders are set, and the area is graded for drainage.
Crushed aggregate base is compacted in layers, then a weed barrier is laid to prevent any growth from below.
Rolls are cut, seamed, and secured to the perimeter. Infill is spread and brushed in to stand the blades upright.
The big advantage of turf is that it installs in any season, with no growing window required. Here is how the year looks.
Homeowners want a green, usable yard before summer, so this is a common time to install. Booking ahead helps.
No watering and no burnout, so turf stays green through the worst of summer. The base work is unaffected by heat.
Comfortable build weather, and the surface is ready for year-round use right away.
Real sod cannot establish in the cold, but turf can go down any time the ground is workable. A great off-season window.

Every yard is different. Here are the four factors that move the price.
Higher pile heights and premium yarn blends cost more per square foot but look and feel more realistic under foot traffic.
Larger areas reduce cost per square foot. Irregular shapes with many cuts add labor time and material waste.
Standard silica sand is the most affordable infill. Crumb rubber, cooling infill, or organic options each add cost but improve performance.
Removing old concrete, correcting poor drainage, or excavating deeper than standard depth all add time and material before turf goes down.
Green all year with no upkeep and no water bill.
Built with a skid steer for drainage and long-term stability.
Holds up to pets, kids, and steady foot traffic.
No growing window required, unlike natural sod.
Quality synthetic turf uses UV-stabilized fibers that resist heat degradation. Like any surface in direct sun it will be warmer than natural grass on hot days. Staying out of full sun during peak afternoon heat and using a light mist of water can cool it quickly. Most Georgia homeowners find the trade-off well worth it compared to dead natural grass every August.
A properly installed system with a good gravel base lasts 15 to 20 years. The base prep is the biggest factor. Turf installed directly on soil or without proper compaction fails in a fraction of that time.
We handle the full job: excavation, gravel base, compaction, leveling, and turf installation. We do not do turf-only installs on existing ground because the base is what makes the job last.
Yes. We can install pet-friendly turf with infill that controls odor and drains efficiently. It is easier to clean than natural grass and does not develop dead spots from pet use.
Yes. We install synthetic turf at commercial properties, HOAs, and multi-family residential sites across Newton County and Metro Atlanta. Commercial applications typically benefit most from the elimination of ongoing maintenance costs.
Yes. Unlike real sod, synthetic turf does not need a growing season, so it can be installed any time the ground is workable, including winter. That makes it a great off-season project when a natural lawn could not establish.
