Water Savings — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Your pool area in Brookhaven is probably one of your favorite spots—especially during those hot Georgia summers. But if you're spending half your time worrying about water bills or fighting brown patches around the deck, it's worth reconsidering what's actually surrounding your pool. Artificial turf has become a legitimate game-changer for homeowners in Historic Brookhaven, Ashford Park, and Drew Valley who want a low-maintenance oasis without the guilt of running sprinklers constantly. We've installed synthetic pool decking and surrounding turf for dozens of Brookhaven residents, and the pattern is always the same: people realize they've been overwatering their natural grass for years, especially in clay-heavy neighborhoods like ours in DeKalb County. Artificial turf for pool areas solves multiple problems at once. You eliminate the mud and dead patches that come from constant foot traffic and chlorinated water runoff. You're not fighting the summer heat or our dense clay soil anymore. Kids and pets can use the pool area year-round without turning it into a swampy mess. And honestly, the water savings alone—we're talking thousands of gallons annually—add up fast on your water bill. It's not just about looking polished when neighbors walk past on their way to Town Brookhaven or Oglethorpe University. It's about reclaiming your backyard space and making it genuinely functional instead of a maintenance burden.
Brookhaven's clay-dominant soil presents some unique challenges around pool areas. Natural grass struggles here because water doesn't drain naturally—it pools and compacts, especially after heavy use. Our DeKalb County clay also means tree roots from established neighborhoods like Historic Brookhaven tend to compete aggressively for moisture, leaving dead spots near your pool deck. Artificial turf eliminates that problem entirely. Sun exposure varies depending on which neighborhood you're in. Drew Valley and Ashford Park have mature tree canopies, which actually works well for pool turf since excessive UV can fade cheaper synthetic materials. We recommend mid-grade or premium turf products in full-sun lots near Town Brookhaven or open properties. Installation around pools requires proper drainage planning because water—whether from rain, splashing, or chlorine—needs somewhere to go. We typically install a permeable base layer that prevents pooling while protecting the turf backing. Lot sizes in Brookhaven tend to be generous, which gives us flexibility. Some HOA communities here have landscape guidelines, so we always verify restrictions before breaking ground. The clay soil actually makes our job easier during installation; we get solid base compaction without fighting sand or gravel that won't hold firm.
Not with proper drainage. Chlorinated splash and runoff is something we plan for during installation. We slope the base slightly away from the turf or create small drainage channels so water moves through quickly rather than sitting. Brookhaven's clay soil would trap water naturally, but our base system prevents that. We've installed synthetic turf next to dozens of pools in Ashford Park and Drew Valley without material degradation from chlorine exposure.
In Brookhaven, most homeowners with pool areas water their surrounding lawn heavily during summer—often 2-3 times weekly. Artificial turf requires zero watering. Over a full year, you're looking at savings of 10,000+ gallons for a typical residential lot. That translates to meaningful reductions in your water bill, especially if your property is in a higher-use area like near Town Brookhaven or open neighborhoods.
Quality synthetic turf stays grippy when wet—much better than concrete pool decks. We install products with textured fibers specifically engineered for wet conditions. Families with kids and pets in Historic Brookhaven and Drew Valley appreciate this because the deck stays safer during heavy use and doesn't become a slip hazard after rain or splash.
Existing pools stay full. We work around the perimeter, so there's no need to drain. It takes coordination and careful base preparation—especially in Brookhaven's clay soil—but it's absolutely doable. Most installations take 2-4 days depending on lot size and how much prep work the existing landscape requires.
