Winter Care — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Pool season in Brookhaven doesn't last year-round, but your turf does—and that's exactly why so many homeowners in Historic Brookhaven, Ashford Park, and Drew Valley are making the switch to artificial pool decking. Real grass around a pool area is a nightmare: it gets trampled, stays soggy from splashing, turns brown from chlorine, and becomes a muddy mess the second someone walks from the pool onto the lawn. You're left with bare patches and a yard that looks neglected instead of like the retreat you invested in. Artificial turf solves all of that. It drains instantly, stays green and lush year-round, and actually gets *better* looking the more your family uses it. Homeowners near Town Brookhaven and around Oglethorpe University have discovered that pool turf gives them the low-maintenance outdoor space they want without the constant replanting and damage control. We've installed hundreds of pool decking projects across DeKalb County, and we know exactly how to handle Brookhaven's unique landscape challenges—the clay soil, the established neighborhood lot sizes, and the specific way water drains in this area.
Brookhaven sits on DeKalb's urban clay base, which means natural grass around pools struggles with both drainage and compaction. That clay holds water longer than sandy soils, so chlorine-soaked grass stays wet and develops fungus and algae problems fast. Artificial turf sidesteps that entirely—it's engineered to drain aggressively, so the chlorinated water moves through to the base layer and away from the root zone (because there isn't one). The neighborhoods here—especially the tree-lined streets of Historic Brookhaven and Drew Valley—also means many pool areas have mixed sun and shade. Artificial turf performs consistently in both, unlike natural grass, which thins out in shaded spots and gets beaten down in high-traffic sunny areas. Most Brookhaven lots are established residential sizes, typically 0.25 to 0.5 acres, so pool decking is often the focal point. We design installations to work with your existing hardscape, drainage patterns, and any HOA guidelines in your specific neighborhood. We've also learned that Brookhaven homeowners appreciate durability—they're not looking to replace their pool turf in three years.
Completely differently—and better. Real grass in Brookhaven gets bleached, compacted, and fungal from constant chlorine exposure. Our artificial turf is UV-stabilized and chlorine-resistant by design. The water drains straight through the backing into a proper base layer, so chlorine never pools around artificial fibers. It stays green and cushioned year after year.
Modern pool turf is engineered with cooling technology and lighter backing colors that reflect heat. Around your pool, the water and shade from your house naturally keep temperatures down. Most homeowners report it's comfortable—definitely cooler than concrete or natural sun-scorched patches near Historic Brookhaven or Drew Valley pools.
We excavate to proper depth, amend the clay base with a gravel layer for drainage, and install a perforated base system. Brookhaven's clay actually requires this step—it's why we don't just lay turf on top. The drainage infrastructure is what makes our pool installations last and look perfect through Georgia winters and wet springs.
Pool-only is the most common approach in Brookhaven. Most homeowners keep natural grass or hardscape elsewhere and go artificial only where the pool creates wear and chlorine damage. It's cost-effective, looks intentional, and solves the exact problem without overcomplicating your landscape.
