Installer — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Your pool area in Buford is one of the best places to enjoy Georgia's warm summers, but keeping natural grass looking good around water features is honestly a losing battle. Between the chlorine splash, foot traffic from friends and family heading to the water, and the intense sun beating down near Mall of Georgia and the Lake Lanier shoreline, turf takes a real beating. That's where artificial pool turf comes in. We've installed hundreds of synthetic grass installations around pools in Gwinnett County, and the difference is night and day. No more brown patches from chemical exposure, no more muddy footprints tracked into your home, and no more spending your weekends fighting weeds and bare spots. Whether your pool deck is nestled in the Mall of Georgia area or closer to the lake, artificial turf gives you that lush, manicured look year-round without the maintenance headache. It drains perfectly even after heavy rain, stays cool underfoot, and handles both full sun and the occasional shade from mature trees. We'll walk you through exactly what works best for your specific setup.
Buford's clay-heavy soil—especially near Lake Lanier's south shore—can make drainage tricky for natural grass, but it's actually ideal for artificial turf installation. We work with the existing grade and soil conditions rather than fighting them. The clay base gives us a stable foundation to build on, which matters when you're dealing with pool deck runoff and the moisture that comes with water features. Sun exposure varies depending on whether you're in a more densely landscaped neighborhood or closer to the lake where tree coverage opens up. Most residential pools in Buford sit in partial to full sun, which means synthetic grass won't fade unevenly the way natural turf would. One thing we always discuss with Buford homeowners: if your yard backs up to an HOA community or established neighborhood, check your covenants before installation. Most allow artificial turf, but a few older associations have restrictions. We handle those conversations regularly and can show you exactly how other Buford pools have been upgraded without issues. The typical pool surround here runs 200–600 square feet, and we customize the backing and infill type based on your exact slope and drainage pattern.
Absolutely. Chlorine and salt water actually rinse off synthetic grass better than natural turf—there's no soil to absorb chemicals. We use turf specifically designed for pool environments, and the backing drains chlorinated water straight through without degradation. Just rinse your deck occasionally during pool season, and you're golden.
Clay holds water, but that's why proper installation matters. We create a slight slope, add a perforated base layer, and use a backing that channels water away from your pool and foundation. Even after Gwinnett County's heavy summer storms, your pool deck stays dry and safe.
Most Buford HOAs and neighborhoods allow artificial turf, especially in pool areas. We check covenants for you and have approval letters from several local associations. If there are restrictions, we'll know upfront and can discuss alternatives that keep your yard looking sharp.
Price depends on square footage, slope, existing ground condition, and infill type. A typical 300–400 square foot pool deck in Buford runs $3,000–$6,000 installed. We give free on-site estimates so you see exactly what your deck will cost and what it'll look like finished.
