New Construction Home — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Building a new home in Augusta? One of the smartest decisions you can make for your backyard is installing artificial turf around your pool area. Whether you're settling into Summerville, West Augusta, Forest Hills, or one of the other established neighborhoods in Richmond County, a synthetic turf deck transforms your pool space into a low-maintenance oasis that actually gets used year-round. Natural grass around pools becomes a muddy, worn-out mess within a season—especially here in the Sandhills where our soil drains differently than other parts of Georgia. You'll spend your summers maintaining bare patches instead of enjoying your family's new investment. Artificial turf solves that problem entirely. It stays green, doesn't track dirt or algae into your pool, and gives you that resort-quality aesthetic without the constant upkeep. For new construction homeowners in the 30901, 30904, 30906, 30907, and 30909 zip codes, this is the one upgrade that pays dividends from day one—better aesthetics, zero grass clippings in the pool, and a surface that's safe for barefoot traffic all summer long.
Augusta's Sandhills terrain gives you a genuine advantage when installing pool-side artificial turf. Unlike the heavy clay soils around Atlanta, our sandier loam actually drains exceptionally well, which means water runoff from your pool deck moves away naturally instead of pooling. That's huge for installation—our crews don't need to install elaborate drainage systems that some other Georgia regions require. Your new construction home likely has better grading anyway, so we're working with optimal conditions. The sun exposure varies depending on your neighborhood. Homes in Forest Hills and Summerville tend to have mature tree coverage that creates dappled shade; West Augusta properties often sit on larger lots with more open sun. Both scenarios work fine with modern artificial turf, though direct afternoon sun in summer heat means we'll recommend our cooler-tech fibers in full-sun installations. One thing to verify: check your HOA landscape guidelines if you're in a planned community. Most Augusta neighborhoods embrace synthetic pool turf since it's manicured-looking and requires zero chemical runoff. Installation typically takes 2–3 days depending on deck size, and our timeline isn't affected by Augusta's humidity or occasional rain delays the way sod installation would be.
Not with the right product. Modern pool-safe turf fibers are engineered to stay significantly cooler than older synthetic options. We spec materials specifically for high-heat zones in the Southeast. Plus, your pool water and any shade from nearby trees help regulate temperature. Most homeowners in Summerville and Forest Hills report no issues with barefoot comfort, even in peak July heat.
No. Pool-grade artificial turf is chlorine-resistant and UV-stabilized specifically for aquatic environments. The Sandhills' excellent drainage also means chemical-treated water won't pool and degrade fibers. We install a proper base layer that directs all water safely away from your pool structure, protecting both the turf and your equipment.
Typically 2–3 days for a standard pool deck. Since your home is new, your site prep is cleaner—no existing sod to remove or problem areas to remediate. We handle everything: base preparation, edging, infill, and final brushing. Your deck is ready to use within a week of completion.
Artificial turf shines in humid climates because it doesn't mold or develop fungal issues like natural grass. Our Sandhills drainage handles summer storms well—water moves through the turf and base layer without pooling. Occasional rinsing and brushing is all you need. No fertilizer, no fungicide treatments, no seasonal maintenance headaches.
