Next Week Install — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Your pool deck in Augusta doesn't have to turn into a mud pit every summer. We've installed artificial turf around pools across Summerville, Forest Hills, and the Olde Town neighborhoods—and honestly, it's one of the smartest upgrades we see homeowners make down here. The sandhill region's soil drains better than what you'd find up in Atlanta, but that doesn't mean natural grass plays nice around chlorinated water and heavy foot traffic. Pool turf does. It stays cool underfoot even on those brutal 95-degree days, won't get torn up by lounge chairs or kids running laps, and you're not fighting algae or dead patches from splashing. A lot of folks in the area worry their HOA won't allow it—worth checking your covenant, but most boards love the clean, manicured look. We can get your pool area done next week if you're ready to stop stressing about yard maintenance and start actually using your backyard.
Augusta's sandier loam base actually works in your favor for pool installations. Water drains faster than clay-heavy soils, so puddles don't linger after heavy rain—crucial when you've got chlorine runoff. That said, the summer heat is intense, and your grass would typically struggle with the combination of sun exposure, salt and chlorine contact, and constant foot traffic. Artificial turf eliminates all three problems. We see a lot of Forest Hills and West Augusta properties with smaller, enclosed pool areas where shade from mature oaks creates wet spots; turf handles that without developing fungal issues. Most homeowners in the 30901 and 30909 ZIP codes have standard residential lots, so we're typically working with 400–800 square feet of pool deck space. Installation is straightforward here because your existing drainage isn't fighting clay compaction like other regions. We remove old sod, level the base, add a permeable underlayment, and lay the turf. The whole job takes a day or two. One thing: verify your HOA rules before we start—some communities near Riverwalk and Augusta National have specific landscape guidelines, though most welcome artificial turf as an upgrade.
Not at all. Modern pool turf is engineered to resist chlorine, salt, and UV. The bigger enemy is organic algae growth on wet surfaces—but our installation includes a permeable backing that drains standing water fast, preventing that. We've installed dozens of decks around pools in Summerville and Forest Hills with zero chlorine-related failures.
Synthetic turf does absorb heat and can reach 140–150°F on direct sun. We recommend light colors or hybrid turf for pool areas where barefoot comfort matters. A quick spray with the hose cools it right down. Most homeowners appreciate the trade-off versus burned feet on concrete or dead natural grass.
Most do, especially when it's pool-specific and looks manicured. Check your covenant or contact your HOA board—take a photo of a professional install to show them. We've worked with several communities in the 30901 ZIP code without pushback, but rules vary. Better to confirm upfront.
Yes. We schedule pool deck jobs year-round in the Augusta area and often have availability for quick turnarounds. Call or text with your pool dimensions and preferred install date. Most decks take one to two days, and we'll confirm the timeline once we assess your site.
