This Week Install — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
There's something about an Augusta backyard that just begs for a pool. Maybe it's the heat that rolls in from May through September, or the way the Summerville and Forest Hills neighborhoods cluster around those beautiful older homes with deep yards. Whatever the reason, we've found that adding artificial turf around your pool deck transforms the whole experience—no muddy footprints tracked inside, no chlorine-burned patches come August, and honestly, no stress about keeping up with natural grass when you're already managing pool chemicals. We've installed hundreds of pools surrounded by synthetic turf across Richmond County, from the sandier soils near the Riverwalk to the trickier drainage situations out in West Augusta. The thing about our area's sandhill region is that while the drainage is actually better than what you'd deal with in Atlanta, the sand shifts under foot traffic, and that can cause settling issues with regular sod. Artificial turf eliminates that problem entirely. You get a clean, safe, non-slip surface that handles the intense Georgia sun without fading, stays cool underfoot, and gives you that resort-quality look without the weekly mowing schedule. If you need this done this week, we can make it happen.
Augusta's sandhill terrain—that sandy loam over clay layer—means your yard drains differently than neighborhoods just an hour north. That's actually good news for pool turf installation. The sand means water moves through quickly, so we don't deal with the boggy conditions that plague some Georgia installations. However, that same sand means the ground can shift slightly under heavy foot traffic, especially around high-traffic areas like pool decks and entry zones. That's why we always recommend professional base preparation here; we'll compact and level properly so your turf stays stable through the summer heat and the occasional barbecue crowd. Sun exposure varies depending on which neighborhood you're in. Forest Hills and Summerville homes often have mature tree cover on one side, direct afternoon sun on the other. We account for that when selecting turf pile height and backing—thicker synthetic grass holds up better under the intense UV, while shaded sections need different drainage considerations. Most Augusta pool decks run 200–600 square feet, and our installers are experienced with the typical lot sizes in Olde Town and West Augusta. HOA restrictions are relatively relaxed in most Richmond County neighborhoods, but if your community has landscape guidelines, we'll work within those. The key thing: get the base right, and your pool turf will last 12–15 years without issues.
Yes. We schedule installations throughout Richmond County, including Summerville, Forest Hills, and West Augusta. Most residential pool deck projects take 2–3 days, depending on base prep and square footage. We'll assess your yard's drainage and soil conditions, then give you a realistic timeline. If your base is already stable and level, we can often turn this around within 5–7 business days.
Not the quality stuff we install. Our synthetic turf is UV-stabilized to handle Georgia's intense summer sun without color loss. The real key is base prep—proper compaction keeps the turf from shifting under foot traffic, which is what causes premature wear in the sandhill region. We've had customers in Olde Town and Forest Hills keep their decks looking pristine for over a decade.
It's a mixed bag. The good news: drainage is better than Atlanta's clay-heavy soils. The challenge: sand shifts, especially near pool areas where foot traffic is constant. We address this with proper base compaction and sometimes a geo-textile layer. That foundation work is essential in our region to prevent settling around your deck.
Pricing depends on square footage, base condition, and whether you need grading or compaction work. A typical 300–400 sq ft pool deck runs $2,500–$4,500 installed, plus base prep if needed. We'll walk your yard, explain what we find, and quote you honestly before any work starts. Call us for a free estimate.
