Veteran Discount — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Pool season in Augusta is long—from late spring straight through early fall, sometimes into October. If you've got a pool in Summerville, Forest Hills, or anywhere across those Richmond County zip codes, you know exactly what we mean: wet feet, chlorine tracking through the house, and natural grass that turns into a muddy mess in high-traffic areas. That's where pool turf comes in. Artificial turf around your pool deck eliminates the mud, the constant reseeding, and the maintenance headaches that come with Georgia's sandhill climate. Here's the thing: Augusta's soil is naturally sandier and drains better than what you'll find up in Atlanta clay country, which is actually great news. But that doesn't mean natural grass thrives around pools. The constant foot traffic, chlorine splash, and intense summer sun beat up regular sod fast. Synthetic turf gives you a clean, dry surface that looks sharp year-round without the upkeep. Whether you're in Olde Town or over near Fort Eisenhower, a properly installed artificial pool surround keeps your yard functional and beautiful. And if you've served our country? We've got veteran discounts that make this upgrade more affordable than you'd expect.
Augusta's sandhill region gives you a drainage advantage that a lot of Georgia doesn't have. Your natural soil leans sandy and loamy rather than the heavy clay you see closer to Atlanta, which means water moves through it faster. That's helpful for pool installations because standing water is the enemy of any backyard. But here's what matters for your turf: the intense summer sun (especially in yards facing south or west) and the chlorine-heavy environment both demand a synthetic surface rated for pool use. We install turf that handles UV exposure and chemical resistance—critical in Augusta's heat. Neighborhoods like Forest Hills and West Augusta tend toward larger residential lots, which means you've got room for a generous pool deck. We typically see homeowners wanting a 6- to 10-foot buffer around the pool perimeter, and that's where synthetic turf shines. It won't compress, stain, or degrade like natural grass does under those conditions. HOA rules in Summerville and other established areas usually allow artificial turf, but we always recommend checking your deed restrictions before we break ground. Installation is straightforward in the sandhill soil—better drainage means fewer grading complications than you'd run into elsewhere in Georgia. We handle the prep, base layers, and finishing to code.
Our pool-grade turf is UV-stabilized specifically for Georgia's intense sun and won't fade significantly. It does warm up in direct sunlight, but not to dangerous levels—it's nowhere near as hot as concrete or pavers. We recommend choosing a lighter shade if barefoot comfort is a priority. Most Augusta homeowners appreciate that it stays cooler and more comfortable than standard pool decking.
Pool-specific artificial turf is engineered to resist chlorine, bromine, and other chemicals. Rinse the area with fresh water occasionally during heavy pool season, but you don't need to do anything extreme. The drainage in Augusta's sandhill soil helps—chemicals don't pool up the way they might in clay-heavy areas. Proper installation with good base drainage is the real secret.
Most residential pool deck installations take 2–4 days depending on size and site conditions. Augusta's sandier soil is forgiving and drains well, so we don't usually hit the grading delays you see in other parts of Georgia. We'll remove old turf if needed, prepare the base, and install the synthetic surface. Larger Forest Hills or West Augusta properties might run on the longer end.
We offer a flat 10% veteran discount on all installation and materials. Bring your DD214 or military ID, and we'll apply it to your full quote. For a typical Augusta residential pool installation, that savings adds up quickly. Give us a call with your project details and we'll walk you through pricing with your discount applied.
