Pool Deck Edge — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Pool decks around Barnesville take a beating, especially when you've got the clay-heavy soil that Lamar County is known for. Water doesn't drain the way it does in sandier regions—it pools, it settles, and before you know it, you're looking at a slippery, algae-prone mess around your in-ground or above-ground pool. That's where we come in. We've been installing artificial turf and drainage solutions across rural Georgia for years, and we understand exactly what happens when Georgia clay meets standing water. Your pool deck should be safe, clean, and ready to use year-round. Whether you're in the Downtown Barnesville area or out toward the quieter parts of Lamar County, we can design a drainage system that works with your soil, not against it. The fix isn't just about laying turf—it's about building a base that lets water move where it needs to go. We'll assess your yard, figure out the slope and clay composition, and install a system that keeps your pool deck dry and usable. No more soggy edges. No more safety hazards. Just a functional, attractive outdoor space that's ready for summer.
Lamar County clay is dense and compacted, which means water loves to sit on top of it rather than percolate through. If you've got a pool deck, this becomes a real problem because standing water breeds algae, makes surfaces slippery, and can damage your pool structure over time. Artificial turf is ideal here because it sits on top of a engineered drainage base—we're not relying on the native soil to absorb water. Around Barnesville, most residential yards are modest in size, which actually works in your favor for drainage projects. We don't need massive regrading; we just need smart base construction and proper slope. The rural character of the area means you've got good space to work with, and fewer neighbors worried about sight lines. Sun exposure varies depending on whether you're closer to Gordon State College or further into the county, but pool decks tend to get plenty of direct sunlight. That's a plus for any surface—turf or otherwise. We account for the clay when we excavate and prepare the base layer, using gravel, crushed stone, and permeable underlayment to create a drainage system that handles heavy Georgia rain without backing up onto your deck.
Lamar County's clay soil doesn't drain naturally the way sandy or loamy soil does. Water sits on top of clay rather than soaking through. Your neighbor might have sandier soil, better slope, or an older drainage system we could upgrade. We assess your specific soil composition and site conditions, then build a drainage base that forces water to flow away from your deck rather than relying on the soil itself.
Mold and algae thrive on surfaces that stay wet. With proper drainage underneath, artificial turf actually stays cleaner and drier than concrete or pavers. We install a permeable base with geo-textile fabric and gravel that lets water drain through quickly. The turf itself is made to shed water, so you get a slip-resistant surface that dries fast—even in humid Georgia summers.
Cost depends on deck size, current drainage condition, and how much base work we need to do. Clay removal and proper gravel base add to the initial expense, but you're investing in a solution that lasts 15+ years without the constant maintenance concrete requires. We'll give you a transparent estimate after we assess your specific yard and soil.
We service all of Barnesville and Lamar County—whether you're near downtown, closer to Gordon State College, or out in the county. Our team is based about an hour away, so we schedule efficiently and bring the same quality work to every job, regardless of location.
