Infill Types — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Pool season in Conyers means one thing: you want a backyard that's ready to go without the hassle. Real grass around a pool deck turns into a muddy mess in about two weeks—we've seen it happen in Olde Town Conyers and Honey Creek enough times to know. That's where artificial turf comes in. Unlike traditional sod, synthetic grass won't get waterlogged from chlorine splash, pool cleaning runoff, or Georgia's humid summers. It stays green year-round, doesn't require mowing around tight pool equipment, and gives you a slip-resistant surface that's actually safer than wet concrete. Most of our Conyers pool installations use infill systems because they handle the unique demands of pool environments better than alternatives. The infill material sits beneath the synthetic blade and does the heavy lifting—it keeps everything stable, manages drainage, and handles foot traffic without shifting. We'll walk you through the different infill types so you can understand which one makes sense for your specific setup, your deck layout, and the way your family actually uses that pool space.
Conyers sits in Rockdale County clay country, which drains differently than sandy soil you might find elsewhere in Georgia. That clay base matters more than people think when you're installing pool turf. Heavy clay holds water, so a proper base and drainage system isn't optional—it's essential. We always recommend a crushed stone foundation layer to manage what the clay won't absorb on its own. Humidity is another factor. East metro Atlanta summers can push 90+ degrees with serious moisture in the air, so your infill choice has to breathe. Silica sand-based systems work well here because they dry faster after pool water splashes and rain events. Sun exposure varies depending on whether your pool sits in front of your Honey Creek or Olde Town Conyers home facing north or south. South-facing pools get harder use, more UV exposure, and need a slightly different infill density than shaded pools. Most residential pools in this area run 12×24 to 15×30 feet, which affects how we calculate infill depth and compaction. HOA communities in the area typically allow artificial turf, but always confirm your specific rules before we install.
Silica sand is heavier, stays cooler underfoot, and drains faster in our clay-heavy soil—great if you have kids running barefoot around the pool. Rubber crumb is lighter, compresses less over time, and feels softer, but it can heat up in direct sun and isn't ideal for chlorine-heavy environments. For Conyers pools, we typically recommend silica unless you have shade and want maximum comfort.
Yes. Rockdale County clay doesn't drain naturally, so we install a perforated base layer and often add a gravel bed before the turf goes down. This prevents standing water and keeps your infill from becoming compacted mud. It adds cost upfront but saves you from expensive repairs and washouts later.
Not with proper infill and base construction. Chlorine doesn't break down synthetic fibers the way it does natural grass. The key is making sure drainage works so chemicals don't accumulate in the infill. We rinse installations after heavy chemical treatments in Conyers because standing pools of chlorinated water can degrade infill over time.
In Conyers' humid climate with pool use, expect to refresh infill every 5–7 years depending on foot traffic and how much water sits on the surface. We can top-dress or completely replace it. Regular brushing and rinsing extend that timeline, especially if you're diligent about drying the area after pool season.
