Water Savings — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Living around Lake Lanier's south shore or near the Mall of Georgia area means your yard probably gets a fair amount of use—especially if you've got a pool. Between the humidity, the clay-heavy soil that Gwinnett County is known for, and Georgia's summer heat, keeping natural grass alive around a pool deck is basically a losing battle. You're watering constantly, dealing with dead patches where chlorine splashes, and fighting mud that tracks everywhere when the ground gets saturated. Artificial turf for pools solves all of that. It drains instantly, won't die from chemical exposure, and actually saves you thousands of gallons of water every year—something that matters whether you're thinking about your water bill or just being smart about resources in a growing community like Buford. We've installed pool turf in neighborhoods throughout Gwinnett County, and the transformation is always the same: homeowners get a clean, usable yard that looks great year-round without the maintenance headache. No more brown spots, no more mud, no more guilt about wasting water on grass that refuses to cooperate. Your pool area becomes an actual entertaining space instead of a soggy mess.
Buford's clay soil—especially closer to Lake Lanier—drains poorly when it's wet and bakes hard when it's dry. That's actually why artificial turf works so well here. Natural grass struggles with that clay base, but synthetic turf sits on top with proper drainage stone underneath, so you don't get the pooling and mud issues that plague a lot of yards in the area. Sun exposure varies depending on whether your property is in the Mall of Georgia neighborhoods or backing toward the lake, but either way, pool areas typically get hammered by afternoon sun. UV-resistant artificial turf won't fade like it used to, and it stays cool enough to walk on even in July and August. Most pools in Gwinnett sit on lots that are either compact suburban-sized or have a bit more breathing room depending on which side of Buford you're in. Deck space matters because you want enough turf around the pool for lounging, not just a thin border. Our installation crews handle the clay prep and grading to make sure water runs away from the pool structure itself. HOAs in the area are generally fine with pool turf as long as it's quality material—we specify commercial-grade products that hold up to chlorine and heavy foot traffic.
No. That's actually one of the biggest wins. Unlike natural grass that turns brown and dies from chlorine splashes, synthetic turf is chemically inert. Splashes, spills, and even direct contact won't harm it. The turf fibers are designed to handle harsh conditions. You just rinse it down occasionally if salt or heavy chlorine buildup happens, and you're good. It's one reason pool homeowners switch.
A typical Buford pool area with natural grass can use 30,000+ gallons of water annually just trying to keep the lawn alive around the deck. With artificial turf, that drops to zero. You're saving water daily, and over a year or two, you're looking at a measurable reduction in your water bill and environmental impact. For a family on Buford's south shore or near Lake Lanier, that adds up fast.
Modern artificial turf has better cooling properties than older versions, and light-colored infill helps. In peak summer heat, it'll be warm but not dangerously so—similar to how a concrete pool deck feels. If barefoot comfort is a priority, we can discuss infill options that run cooler. Either way, it's more comfortable than sitting on wet mud, which is what you'd get with natural grass in Buford's clay.
Most residential pool areas take 2-3 days depending on size and prep work. Our crews are based about 40 minutes away, so we schedule projects efficiently. We handle grading, drainage base, and turf installation in one coordinated process. Turnaround is faster than you'd think, and you can use the space within days.
