Cat Safe — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Auburn's got that perfect setup for a backyard oasis—you've got the space, the weather's right for outdoor living, and frankly, a lot of folks around here are tired of fighting their lawn every summer. Pool season in Barrow County runs long, which means your pool area is essentially your second living room from May through September. That's where artificial turf comes in. Instead of muddy patches around your pool deck, dead grass from chlorine splash, or spending weekends on yard work when you'd rather be in the water, cat-safe artificial turf gives you a clean, soft surface that actually holds up. We've worked with homeowners all through Auburn and the Bethlehem area, and the thing they all say is the same: they wish they'd done it sooner. Your kids can run straight from pool to turf without tracking mud inside. Your cats can lounge without worry. And you get to actually enjoy your backyard instead of babysitting it. The Barrow County clay soil doesn't drain great naturally, which makes real grass a constant headache in wet seasons anyway. Artificial turf solves that problem permanently while giving you that manicured, resort-like look that makes your whole property feel more intentional.
Auburn sits in clay-heavy Barrow County soil, and if you've tried growing grass here, you know it's stubborn. That clay holds moisture, which means dead spots, fungal issues, and a lawn that either floods or bakes hard as concrete depending on the season. Artificial turf eliminates that guessing game entirely. Your pool area gets hit with a lot of variables—direct sun in the afternoon, chlorine runoff, foot traffic concentrated in specific zones, and seasonal weather swings that real sod just can't handle consistently. The good news is artificial turf thrives in all of it. We size installations based on your actual pool deck layout, whether you're working with a modest suburban setup or something larger. Many Auburn-area homes have decent-sized yards, which gives us room to create a functional zone that transitions smoothly from decking to turf. Installation timing matters here too—we typically avoid the wet season when Barrow County gets heavy rainfall, as ground prep is critical. The turf we install is cat-safe by design, so if you've got outdoor cats or neighborhood cats passing through, there's no toxins or sharp backing materials to worry about. One thing unique to this region: the growing northeast corridor means property values are climbing, and buyers notice when outdoor spaces are well-maintained and practical.
Absolutely. It's actually one of the best applications for artificial turf in Auburn. Unlike natural grass that yellows and dies from chlorine splash, synthetic turf is chemically resistant. The perforated backing we use drains water right through so it doesn't pool or create mold issues. You'll rinse it occasionally, but that's it—no brown patches, no dead zones from chemical splash.
Yes. We specifically source cat-safe artificial turf with non-toxic materials and secure backing that won't shred or create hazards. No sharp edges, no harmful chemicals. Cats can walk, lounge, and dig on it without any health concerns. It's becoming a popular choice with Auburn pet owners who want that manicured look without toxins.
Clay drains poorly, which is actually a reason to install turf. We prep the base with proper grading and permeable substrate so water moves through, not into your pool area. It's a more detailed prep than sandy soil would require, but it ensures longevity and prevents waterlogging that's common in Auburn yards during wet seasons.
We typically schedule Auburn installations within 2–3 weeks, depending on season and current projects. The actual installation usually takes 2–3 days depending on deck size. We handle all site prep, so you're not managing multiple contractors. Just let us know your timeline and we'll work around your pool season.
