Water Savings — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Most homeowners in Clarkston we talk to have the same problem: they want a beautiful backyard that won't drain their water bill or turn into a mud pit every time it rains. Your pool area takes a beating—chlorine, foot traffic, constant moisture—and natural grass just can't keep up, especially on the compact lots we see throughout Downtown Clarkston and the Milam Park area. That's where artificial turf comes in. It gives you that lush, green poolside aesthetic without the maintenance nightmare, and more importantly, it cuts your water usage dramatically. We've installed hundreds of pool turfs across DeKalb County, and Clarkston homeowners consistently tell us they wish they'd done it sooner. Whether you're in a smaller urban lot or have a bit more space, artificial pool turf handles the chlorine splash, the foot traffic, and the Georgia heat without fading or dying back. No more watering, no more fertilizer runoff, no more brown patches. Just a clean, functional pool deck that looks great year-round and saves you money every single month.
Clarkston's DeKalb clay soil is dense and doesn't drain naturally—which actually works in your favor for artificial turf installation. Because we're dealing with compact urban lots, especially around Downtown Clarkston and near the Community Center, proper base preparation is critical. We dig down, remove the old turf or compacted soil, and lay a solid drainage foundation so water doesn't pool under your new synthetic grass. The clay also means the ground settles differently than sandy soil, so we account for that during installation to keep everything level around your pool deck. Sun exposure varies depending on your lot's orientation and surrounding structures, but we choose turf blades specifically rated for pool areas—they resist chlorine breakdown better and won't yellow as quickly under intense UV. Most yards we see in Clarkston's residential neighborhoods have limited space, which means we're working with tight measurements and often around existing hardscaping. That's fine; we've done hundreds of these jobs. We'll work around your deck edges, steps, and plumbing without shortcuts. The goal is a seamless, safe pool surround that actually performs.
Chlorine kills the living cells in grass blades and dries out the root system. Synthetic turf has no living tissue, so chlorine splash is just water to it. The fibers won't fade from occasional exposure, and you won't get those bleached-out dead zones around your pool that plague Clarkston homeowners with natural lawns. We use pool-grade turf rated for chemical exposure.
Yes—if it's installed correctly. We don't just lay turf over existing clay. We excavate, install a gravel base layer, add a perforated drainage system, and compact everything properly. Water drains through the turf and base, then away from your pool area. Without proper drainage setup, you'd have puddles; with our installation, water moves fast.
Quality pool-grade artificial turf lasts 12–15 years in Georgia's climate. Clarkston's heat and occasional freeze cycles are well within what modern synthetic grass handles. We use turf with UV stabilizers and antimicrobial backing, so it resists mold and algae growth in humid conditions. Proper drainage helps too.
Absolutely. Most of our Clarkston jobs work around existing hardscape, plumbing, and pool equipment. We measure carefully, work with tight spaces, and ensure seams don't create trip hazards or water traps. Your pool stays functional during installation, and we clean up completely when we're done.
