Military Discount — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Your backyard pool area deserves better than patchy grass that turns to mud every summer. We've been installing premium artificial turf around Buford for years, and we know exactly what works for pool decks in this part of Gwinnett County. The clay soil near Lake Lanier and the humidity we deal with here make real grass a constant headache—especially around water features where drainage becomes critical. Artificial turf eliminates that problem. You get a clean, safe surface around your pool that never gets slippery, doesn't harbor algae or mildew the way wet natural grass does, and stays green year-round without fertilizer runoff contaminating the lake. Whether your pool sits near the Mall of Georgia area or along the Lake Lanier south shore, we understand the specific challenges Buford homeowners face. Our military customers especially appreciate the durability and the fact that they're not wasting weekends on yard maintenance. No more soggy, stained grass after pool parties. Just a pristine, functional outdoor space that looks sharp and performs better than nature can deliver in our climate.
Buford's clay-heavy soil—typical for this part of Gwinnett and Hall County—drains poorly on its own, which is why pool areas with natural grass turn into swamps. That's where artificial turf shines. We design every installation with proper sub-base preparation and drainage systems underneath so water moves away from your pool deck instead of pooling. Sun exposure varies depending on whether you're in the Mall of Georgia vicinity or closer to Lake Lanier's tree-lined shores. Some yards get brutal afternoon heat; others sit partly shaded by mature oaks. We assess your specific microclimate and select turf products that handle Buford's humidity and occasional freeze-thaw cycles without fading or becoming brittle. Many Gwinnett neighborhoods have HOA guidelines about landscaping, and we make sure every installation stays compliant. Pool decks need extra-durable backing to handle chlorine splashes and the constant foot traffic from swimmers. We use marine-grade materials that resist chemical breakdown. Installation typically takes a day or two depending on deck size, and since we're based just 40 minutes away, scheduling is flexible.
Not with the right product. Standard turf can degrade, but we install marine-grade artificial grass specifically rated for pool environments. Chlorine and salt don't harm the fibers or backing. We've done dozens of pool installations around Buford and Lake Lanier, and our customers report zero chemical damage after years of use. Regular rinsing with a hose keeps it fresh.
Our pool-specific turf has a textured surface that grips wet feet much better than you'd expect. It's actually safer than wet concrete or natural grass, which becomes genuinely slick. We've installed materials for families throughout Gwinnett specifically because parents want that security around water. Your kids won't slide when running poolside.
We don't rely on Buford's clay to drain anything. Our crew excavates, installs a perforated base layer, adds crushed stone, and tops it with the turf. Water flows through the system instead of sitting on top. This is crucial in our area where the natural soil just holds moisture. It's why DIY installs fail—proper drainage engineering matters.
We honor military service with a solid discount on every pool turf project in Buford and across Gwinnett County. We'll discuss the specifics when you call, but we make sure active duty, veterans, and their families get fair pricing. It's our way of saying thank you. Bring your military ID and we'll take care of you.
