Vs Concrete — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Your pool deck in Chamblee takes a beating. Between the humid Georgia summers, foot traffic from family gatherings, and that stubborn DeKalb clay that seems to turn into mud the moment it rains, concrete is working overtime just to stay functional. Around Downtown Chamblee and along the Peachtree-Chamblee corridor, we've noticed homeowners are ditching the slip-hazard concrete approach altogether. Artificial turf around your pool isn't just about looks—it's about reclaiming your backyard without the maintenance nightmare. No more concrete cracking from freeze-thaw cycles, no algae stains, no scorching feet on summer afternoons. On compact lots like many of ours here in 30341, turf maximizes usable space while keeping everything clean and safe. We install pool-side turf that handles chlorine splash, heavy foot traffic, and our intense summer sun. The drainage system sits underneath so water doesn't pool, and the surface stays cool even when the sun's bearing down. Most of our Chamblee clients tell us the same thing: they wish they'd made the switch sooner.
Chamblee's clay-heavy soil is something we work with every single day. That dense DeKalb clay compacts hard and drains poorly, which is exactly why artificial turf shines around pools—you're not fighting nature, you're sidestepping it. Your lot size probably isn't sprawling, especially in the closer neighborhoods, so every square foot matters. Turf gives you that finished look without eating up space with concrete pads or pavers. Sun exposure varies significantly depending on whether you're nestled near the Chamblee Rail Trail corridor with tree cover or out toward Buford Highway where afternoon rays hit hard. We design drainage underneath artificial turf to handle our subtropical rainfall patterns. The backing system we use sits slightly elevated so chlorinated water and regular moisture don't create boggy spots. Installation on existing concrete is straightforward—we can overlay or remove depending on your preference. The finished surface stays significantly cooler than concrete in summer, a real advantage when kids are running barefoot. Since DeKalb clay can shift with seasonal moisture changes, proper base preparation is non-negotiable; that's where our installation process differs from DIY approaches.
Yes. Our pool-turf is specifically chlorine-resistant and designed for splash zones. We've installed this setup at dozens of Chamblee properties, and the chlorinated water doesn't degrade the fibers or backing like it would with lawn grass. The drainage system underneath prevents chlorine buildup in the soil. Rinse occasionally to prevent salt or mineral accumulation, but the material itself holds up perfectly in these conditions.
It performs better than anything else you could choose. Clay doesn't drain, which creates mud, algae, and slippery surfaces around pools. Our installation includes a proper base layer and perforated backing that handles water independently of your soil. The clay beneath stays undisturbed, and the turf sits above it with its own drainage system. No mud, no maintenance headaches.
Absolutely. Many Chamblee homeowners have concrete already in place, and we can lay turf directly over it. We assess the surface for cracks or uneven spots first. If the concrete's stable, we add padding and install turf on top. If removal makes more sense, we can handle that too. Either way, you end up with a safer, cooler, more attractive pool surround.
Much cooler than concrete, especially during peak afternoon hours. Chamblee summers are intense, and concrete can hit temperatures that burn bare feet. Artificial turf stays 20-30 degrees cooler because it doesn't absorb and radiate heat the same way. The surface is comfortable for kids and pets, even in full sun.
