New Construction Home — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Building a new home in Athens? You're probably thinking about that backyard space differently than someone just doing a refresh. New construction in neighborhoods like Five Points, Cobbham, and Normaltown gives you a real opportunity to design your outdoor space from scratch—and artificial turf around a pool is one of those upgrades that actually pays dividends from day one. Unlike natural grass, which struggles under the Piedmont clay we deal with here, synthetic turf gives you a maintenance-free surface that stays green year-round, won't get muddy when kids and dogs track water in from the pool, and handles the shade from Athens's mature canopy trees without those bare, dead patches you'd normally see. When you're coordinating with builders, landscapers, and contractors on a new build, the last thing you want is surprise problems with your pool deck. Artificial turf eliminates that entire headache. It's slip-resistant when wet, never needs reseeding after chlorine splashes, and the installation works seamlessly whether your lot is in the hillier Eastside areas or the denser college-town blocks near campus. We've worked with dozens of new construction homeowners across the 30601 and 30605 zip codes, and the ones who go with pool turf consistently tell us they wish they'd done it everywhere.
Athens sits in the Piedmont region, which means that red clay subsoil is standard across most residential lots here. If your new construction home has a pool, that heavy clay base actually makes artificial turf installation more straightforward—we've got solid, stable ground to work with. What does trip up natural grass around pools is the combination of chlorine exposure, frequent foot traffic, shade from the mature oaks and hickories that define Athens neighborhoods, and the fact that our summer humidity creates algae and mold conditions on constantly damp natural turf. Artificial turf doesn't have those problems. You'll also notice that lot sizes in Five Points and Normaltown tend toward the compact side, so synthetic turf lets you maximize usable space without worrying about mowing or fertilizing small or oddly shaped areas. Drainage is critical in Clarke County—we handle spring runoff and occasional heavy rains—so we install pool turf with a permeable base that prevents pooling while keeping the surface safe for bare feet. If your new build has HOA landscape guidelines (common in established neighborhoods here), we can coordinate colors and pile heights to match community standards while still getting you that chlorine-resistant, no-maintenance surface.
Absolutely. Our turf is UV-stabilized and designed for warm, humid climates. The Piedmont's thick canopy actually helps—shade keeps surface temperatures down in peak summer. Unlike natural grass, it won't develop the algae and fungal issues that come with constant moisture and our humidity levels. You get a clean, dry deck every time.
Yes. We use chlorine-resistant synthetic fibers and install proper drainage so chemicals don't pool or concentrate in one spot. Natural grass dies under repeated chlorine exposure; artificial turf is built for it. No yellow patches, no dead zones—just consistent green year after year in your new backyard.
The heavy Piedmont clay is actually ideal for turf installation—it provides a stable, compact base. We add a permeable drainage layer on top so water moves through properly, preventing pooling while keeping the surface firm and slip-resistant. Your pool deck stays safe and dry even after heavy rain.
Perfect fit. Smaller urban lots benefit most from turf because you eliminate mowing, edging, and maintenance on tight spaces. You get more usable deck area, no mud tracking, and a polished look that matches new construction standards in those established neighborhoods.
