Rental Property — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Brookhaven rental properties live or die by curb appeal, and nothing kills that faster than a muddy, patchy pool deck. Whether you own a property in Historic Brookhaven, Ashford Park, or Drew Valley, tenants expect a pool area that's ready to use—not something they have to sidestep on their way to the water. That's where artificial turf around your pool makes sense. You get year-round green without the constant maintenance headaches that eat into your margins. The clay-heavy soil in DeKalb County doesn't drain the way tenants hope, and natural grass around pools becomes a slip hazard within weeks of heavy use. Our crew has installed pool turf on rental properties across Brookhaven for the past several years, and we've seen firsthand how it changes tenant satisfaction and reduces your liability exposure. No more brown patches, no more soggy ground, no more emergency landscaping calls in July. Just a clean, functional pool area that works as hard as you do.
Brookhaven's urban clay soil presents a real problem for pool areas. Drainage is sluggish, and the constant moisture from pool splash and footfall turns natural grass into a swampy mess fast. When we install artificial turf around pools here, we build in a proper base layer—compacted stone and gravel that mimics what those established yards in Ashford Park and Drew Valley should have but often don't. Sun exposure varies wildly depending on whether your rental sits in a tree-heavy lot near Oglethorpe University or in one of the more open, developed blocks closer to Town Brookhaven. We assess that during the walkthrough and recommend turf colors accordingly. Most Brookhaven rental properties have modest pool decks—15 by 20 feet is common—which means we're not breaking the bank on materials, but every square foot counts when tenants are barefoot. HOA rules in some neighborhoods require a certain aesthetic, so we work within those constraints. The turf we install drains directly into the existing yard soil rather than pooling on the deck, which matters when you're liable for tenant injuries.
Yes. Clay drains poorly on its own, but our installation includes a gravel base and proper slope that diverts water away from the turf and into drainage zones. Tenants won't stand on a wet deck, and you won't deal with mold or algae buildup that thrives in Brookhaven's humid summers.
Most residential pool decks in neighborhoods like Historic Brookhaven take one to two days. We remove old turf or sod, grade the base, lay stone and infill, and install the turf. You're ready for tenants within 48 hours in most cases.
Most do, especially for pool areas where function matters more than lawn aesthetics. We've worked with several Brookhaven HOAs and can pull their guidelines before we quote. Always smart to verify, but we haven't run into restrictions on pool decks specifically.
Natural grass around a pool in Brookhaven's climate requires weekly mowing, overseeding, fungicide treatments, and drainage fixes—easily 1500 to 2000 per year. Artificial turf is a one-time cost with minimal upkeep. Most rental owners recoup installation costs within two years in reduced maintenance and higher tenant satisfaction.
