Indoor Space — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Clarkston's compact urban lots and dense neighborhoods mean most homeowners here don't have the luxury of sprawling backyards—but that doesn't mean you can't have a stunning poolside retreat. Our artificial turf installations have transformed dozens of tight spaces around Downtown Clarkston and the Milam Park area into lush, low-maintenance outdoor oases that handle Georgia's humidity and foot traffic like champions. Here's the thing: real grass in a small, shaded yard next to your pool becomes a muddy, slippery nightmare within a season. Chlorine kills it. Heavy rain puddles on it. People track it through the house. Artificial turf solves every single one of those problems. We've installed premium pool-side turf for families who wanted their kids to actually play outside without turning their yards into swamps. Our team knows DeKalb County's clay soil, the way afternoon shade patterns shift through the seasons, and exactly how to prep those compact lots so your turf stays safe, drains properly, and looks fresh for 15+ years. Whether you're in a cozy Downtown home or tucked into the Milam Park neighborhood, we'll design a pool surround that fits your space and your life.
Clarkston's DeKalb clay is dense and compacted—especially in the older neighborhoods around Downtown and Milam Park where properties sit close together. That clay doesn't drain well naturally, which means water pools around pools (ironic, right). Before we lay turf, we create a proper base: remove old sod, amend the soil, and install perforated subsurface drainage so water moves away from your pool deck instead of sitting on it. Your lot size matters too. Most Clarkston homes don't have sprawling backyards, so we maximize every inch. Shade from mature trees is real here—the Clarkston Community Center area and surrounding blocks have plenty of established canopy. While premium artificial turf handles partial shade well, we assess sun exposure during consultation to recommend the right pile height and density. One thing people forget: pool chemicals. Chlorine and salt systems can break down inferior turf over time. We spec commercial-grade materials that resist chemical degradation, not the budget stuff that yellows after one season. Installation in compact urban yards means careful logistics—we coordinate access, protect existing landscaping, and clean up thoroughly so your neighbors don't get caught in the dust. The payoff is a turf that drains like a dream, handles heavy use, and turns a tight urban lot into functional outdoor space.
Yes—absolutely. Standard artificial turf can yellow and degrade under constant chemical exposure. We install commercial-grade, UV-stabilized turf with backing designed to resist chlorine breakdown. It costs a bit more upfront, but it'll outlast cheaper alternatives by years. Worth it if you're using your pool regularly.
That's actually why proper preparation matters here. We remove existing grass, improve the base layer with drainage amendments, and often install perforated subsurface drainage. Your turf will drain better than the native clay ever could. Water won't pool around your pool deck.
Right to the coping if you want—no setback needed. We'll finish the edge cleanly so there's no tripping hazard and no gap for debris. Some families in the Milam Park area prefer a narrow concrete border for extra durability in high-traffic zones, but turf-to-pool is totally safe and looks seamless.
Depends on size and site conditions, but most residential pool-turf projects take 3–5 days. Prep work (soil amendment, drainage setup) takes the longest. We'll give you a timeline during the site visit and minimize disruption to your neighborhood.
