Installation — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Buford's pool season runs long and hot, which means your backyard is either a refreshing oasis or a muddy mess depending on what's around that water. We've installed artificial turf around dozens of pools in the Mall of Georgia area and down toward Lake Lanier's south shore, and the difference it makes is immediate. No more tracking clay through your house after a swim, no more bare patches where foot traffic kills the grass, and no more fighting the Gwinnett humidity to keep anything green during August. Pool turf isn't just about looks—it's about reclaiming your deck and surrounding yard so you can actually enjoy summer instead of babysitting landscaping. The clay-heavy soil around here doesn't drain the way you'd want near a pool anyway, so artificial gives you that clean, maintenance-free deck space without the headaches of natural grass fighting against our local conditions. Whether you're near the lake or out by the mall corridor, we'll install something that handles chlorine splash, heavy foot traffic, and the intense Georgia sun without fading or matting down.
Buford sits on Gwinnett clay that holds moisture longer than most homeowners expect, especially down toward Lake Lanier. That matters hugely for pool areas because wet clay becomes slippery and compacts under foot traffic, creating those bare patches fast. Artificial turf solves that immediately—it drains through instead of pooling on top. Summer sun exposure varies depending on whether your pool faces the mall corridor or nestles into the tree lines near the lake's south shore. We size and select materials accordingly; pools with afternoon western exposure need our most UV-resistant backing, while shaded spots benefit from our softer, less heat-prone options. Most Buford pools sit on residential lots between a quarter and half-acre, which usually means 300–800 square feet of deck and surround. HOA rules in the Mall of Georgia neighborhoods tend to be permissive with artificial surfaces, but we always verify deed restrictions before installation. The real local consideration is drainage: clay soil means proper base preparation and perforated underlayment aren't optional—they're essential. We also see a lot of chlorine and salt splash here, so we spec materials rated for pool-side chemical exposure.
Buford's clay-based soil drains poorly and compacts heavily under wet feet, killing grass fast. Artificial turf drains through instead of pooling, won't thin out from chlorine or constant traffic, and stays green year-round without the humidity battles our area brings. You also avoid tracking mud through your house after every swim.
Our pool-grade turf is UV-stabilized to handle intense summer exposure without color shift. We've installed thousands of square feet across Gwinnett with no fading issues. Poolside materials also resist chlorine and salt splash better than standard turf, so you get longevity even with heavy chemical exposure.
Clay requires proper prep—we remove 2–3 inches of existing soil, lay perforated underlayment, then install a compacted crushed-stone base for drainage. It's more upfront work than sandy soil, but it's non-negotiable here. Without it, water pools under the turf instead of draining through, and your installation won't last.
Absolutely. Most HOAs in that corridor allow artificial turf on decks and pool surrounds with no pushback. You gain a clean, chemical-resistant surface that handles foot traffic better than anything natural, plus zero maintenance during peak pool season. For the mall area's lot sizes, you're usually looking at 400–600 square feet, which is very manageable.
