Pool Deck Edge — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Buford's commercial properties—whether they're near the Mall of Georgia or along the Lake Lanier south shore—deal with some unique landscaping pressures. Foot traffic, water drainage, seasonal wear, and the expectation of a polished look year-round push a lot of business owners to consider artificial turf for pool decks, patios, and outdoor dining areas. The clay-heavy soil around Gwinnett and Hall counties doesn't always cooperate with natural grass, especially in high-traffic zones. That's where commercial-grade artificial turf becomes a practical solution. We've installed dozens of pool deck systems throughout the Buford area, and the consistency—no mud, no bare patches, no seasonal browning—makes a real difference in how clients perceive your property. A well-maintained pool deck with synthetic turf doesn't just look sharper; it reduces liability concerns, cuts down on maintenance labor, and holds up to chlorine splash and heavy summer use better than any living grass will.
Buford sits on Gwinnett and Hall County clay, which drains slower than sandy soils and tends to compact under foot traffic. For commercial pool decks, this matters because water pooling and slippery conditions become safety and aesthetic issues quickly. Artificial turf with a proper sub-base and drainage layer solves that problem entirely. The neighborhoods around Mall of Georgia and the lake properties tend to have strict HOA guidelines, so fiber height and color matter—we typically recommend 1.5-inch to 2-inch commercial-grade synthetic in a natural green tone that blends with existing landscaping without looking plastic. Summer sun exposure near the lake can be intense, but modern UV-stabilized turf won't fade or degrade like it did years ago. Installation in the Buford area usually runs smoother than in red-clay zones because the existing base compacts uniformly. One thing we always confirm: drainage around pool decks must account for chlorinated water runoff. We slope and sub-base the turf so standing water doesn't accumulate—critical for both longevity and guest safety.
Yes, absolutely. Commercial synthetic turf is designed to handle chlorine splash, saltwater, and UV exposure. The key is proper drainage underneath—we install a base that lets chlorinated water flow through instead of pooling. In Buford's warm summers, this matters even more. The turf fiber itself won't degrade from chemical exposure the way natural grass would.
The clay here compacts well, which is actually an advantage for sub-base stability. We excavate to proper depth, add a crushed stone or recycled asphalt base, and compact it uniformly. Because Gwinnett clay is dense, we pay extra attention to lateral drainage to prevent pooling at the edges—especially important for pool decks where water management is critical.
We typically recommend 1.5 to 2 inches for commercial pool decks in Buford. This height provides cushioning for guest comfort, drains quickly, and resists matting from foot traffic. Shorter pile looks cleaner and dries faster; taller pile feels softer. Most Mall of Georgia-area properties lean toward the middle ground for that balance.
A typical commercial pool deck project in Buford takes 3 to 5 business days from excavation to final seaming and cleanup. That assumes standard square footage and no structural complications. We coordinate around your operating schedule so guest access isn't disrupted longer than necessary.
