Drainage Solutions — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Brookhaven homeowners with pools know the struggle: Georgia's humid summers mean algae loves wet concrete, and that clay-heavy DeKalb soil holds moisture like a sponge. Add foot traffic around the pool deck, and you're either power-washing constantly or watching your landscaping turn into a swamp. Artificial turf around your pool solves that. It drains fast, stays green year-round, and doesn't track mud into your home the way natural grass does in our climate. Whether you're in Historic Brookhaven, Ashford Park, or Drew Valley, the neighborhoods here have mature landscapes and established yards—which means you're working with existing drainage patterns and mature tree coverage. That's actually perfect for pool turf installation. We've worked with dozens of Brookhaven pools, and what we've learned is that the right artificial surface, paired with smart subsurface drainage, transforms your backyard from a maintenance headache into the gathering spot your family actually wants to use. Your pool deserves a deck that works as hard as you do.
Brookhaven's DeKalb clay is dense and compacted, especially in established neighborhoods like Ashford Park and Drew Valley where yards have been landscaped for decades. That density is exactly why proper drainage under artificial turf matters here. When we install pool turf in Brookhaven, we're not just laying turf on existing soil—we're engineering a drainage system that moves water away from your pool foundation and prevents the standing water that clay naturally traps. The mature tree canopy in many Brookhaven yards (particularly near Oglethorpe University and the Historic Brookhaven area) means mixed sun and shade patterns. Artificial turf handles this better than natural grass, but we size your drainage base differently depending on tree coverage and runoff patterns. HOA guidelines in some Brookhaven neighborhoods also have landscaping requirements, so we verify those before installation. Most Brookhaven pool decks range from 400 to 800 square feet—manageable size that allows us to install a robust gravel and drainage layer underneath without major excavation. We typically allow 7–10 days for the job, depending on existing hardscape and soil prep.
Yes. Unlike natural grass, artificial turf doesn't retain moisture or create the damp environment algae thrives in. It drains faster than you'd think—water moves through the turf backing into the gravel base we install below. In Brookhaven's humid summers, this prevents the green film and slippery conditions that plague concrete and natural grass pool decks. We've installed hundreds of pool turfs in DeKalb County with zero algae complaints.
Clay is your starting point, not your ending point. We don't rely on clay to drain; we install 4–6 inches of engineered gravel base and perforated drainage tile beneath the turf. This system bypasses the clay entirely and moves water to drainage points or existing storm lines. It's how we handle Ashford Park and Drew Valley yards with heavy clay—and it works reliably.
Typically 7–10 days, depending on pool size and existing hardscape. We start by removing sod or preparing existing concrete, installing drainage infrastructure, then laying and securing the turf. In Historic Brookhaven and nearby neighborhoods, we schedule around your schedule and coordinate with any HOA requirements beforehand.
Absolutely. Shade from mature trees is common in Brookhaven neighborhoods, and artificial turf performs fine in partial shade. We adjust drainage design based on tree coverage and runoff patterns—shaded areas hold moisture longer, so we may add extra drainage outlets. Trees are a feature, not a limitation.
