Maintenance — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Most pool areas in Austell sit in full sun for a good chunk of the day, especially if your backyard faces the Six Flags area or opens up toward Sweetwater Creek. That heat and humidity? It's tough on real grass. We've installed hundreds of pool-side turf systems across Austell's neighborhoods—from the tighter lots near the commercial corridors to the larger properties in South Cobb—and the feedback is consistent: artificial turf transforms a muddy, worn-out pool deck into a space families actually use year-round. No more dealing with wet, slippery patches that kill your grass in high-traffic zones. No more mud tracked into the house after swimming. The clay-heavy soil we deal with here in Cobb County compacts easily and drains poorly, so real grass around pools becomes a constant battle. Artificial turf solves that problem. It stays green, stays safe, and honestly, it handles the transitional weather we get without breaking down the way live sod does. Whether you're in 30106 or 30168, pool turf is one of those upgrades that pays for itself in convenience and durability.
Austell's soil composition—that South Cobb clay—is naturally dense and slow-draining, which creates challenges for pool landscaping. When water splashes from the pool and sits on clay-based ground, you're looking at algae, mold, and dead patches within weeks. Our artificial turf installation accounts for this by building proper drainage layers underneath. The sun exposure around most Austell pools is intense in summer months, especially mid-afternoon, which burns out Bermuda and zoysia within a season or two if foot traffic is heavy. Pool decks in this area typically range from 200 to 800 square feet depending on lot size—neighborhoods near Six Flags tend to be more compact, while properties toward the edges of Austell often have larger backyards. We always recommend a premium-grade synthetic blend that handles chlorine splash and UV exposure without fading. Installation requires digging down 4–6 inches, compacting a base layer, adding drainage rock, and then laying the turf. The Austell heat means we typically install in spring or early fall to give the infill materials time to settle properly before peak pool season.
Not if it's the right turf. We use marine-grade synthetic materials that resist chlorine, salt water, and UV degradation. Austell's summer sun is intense, so the UV stabilizers in quality pool turf are non-negotiable. Occasional chemical exposure won't harm it, but we do recommend rinsing the deck occasionally with fresh water to prevent salt buildup in the infill.
Far less than real grass, honestly. You're not mowing, watering, or fighting clay compaction. In Austell, the main maintenance is brushing the pile every 3–4 weeks during summer to keep it looking uniform and raking out any debris from nearby trees. That's it. No fertilizer, no fungicide treatments like you'd need for live turf in this humidity.
Absolutely. We've done tight spaces everywhere in that area. Even a 200-square-foot deck makes a huge difference around a pool. Smaller lots sometimes have shade from neighboring structures or trees, which actually helps extend turf life by reducing UV stress and keeping infill cooler in summer.
A typical residential pool area takes 2–3 days, depending on size and drainage prep. Our crew handles site prep, base installation, and turf layout. We're based 18 minutes from Austell, so scheduling is flexible and we can usually accommodate weekend work if your schedule demands it.
