Vs Concrete — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Most Crabapple homeowners with pools face the same concrete nightmare: scorching hot decks in July, slippery surfaces when it rains, and maintenance that never seems to end. Your kids won't even want to go barefoot on the thing. We've installed artificial turf around dozens of pools in the Crabapple Crossroads and Birmingham Falls areas, and the transformation is immediate. Families go from dreading pool season to actually enjoying it. The turf stays cool underfoot, drains properly (crucial with our North Fulton clay soil), and looks lush year-round without the mowing or fertilizing. You get that soft, natural feel without the dead patches that inevitably show up around salt systems and high-traffic areas. Whether your lot is a sprawling estate property or a more modest residential setup, artificial pool turf handles the wear and tear that concrete simply can't. We're based just 35 minutes away in North Fulton, so we know exactly how our rolling terrain and clay conditions affect drainage and installation depth. Replacing concrete with quality artificial turf is one of the smartest upgrades we see homeowners make—better for resale value, safer for bare feet, and honestly, your pool area finally becomes the centerpiece of your backyard instead of an eyesore.
Crabapple's rolling clay soil and estate-lot landscape present some specific considerations for pool turf installation. The clay base common in North Fulton means drainage is critical; we always install a proper sub-base to prevent water from pooling beneath the turf, especially important given our region's spring and summer rainfall patterns. Your lot size—whether it's the generous acreage near Birmingham Falls Elementary or the more compact residential properties around Crabapple Market—will influence how much perimeter turf makes sense around your pool deck. We typically recommend extending turf 8-10 feet out from the pool edge for safety and usability, but your existing hardscape, slope, and how you use the space all factor in. Many Crabapple properties have mixed sun and shade patterns due to mature tree coverage; we'll assess your pool deck's exposure to make sure you're getting a turf grade that handles both full sun and dappled afternoon shade without fading or wear issues. The clay soil also means installation requires heavier equipment and sometimes different base preparation than sandy or loam-heavy areas. We've done enough work in North Fulton to know how to account for ground settlement and ensure your pool turf stays level and safe long-term.
Absolutely—that's exactly why proper installation matters here. We use a engineered sub-base system that prevents water from sitting under the turf, which is critical with our North Fulton clay. Without that layer, you'd get pooling and eventual deterioration. We've installed hundreds of pool turfs in this region and account for clay conditions from the start. Your turf will drain as fast as water hits it.
That's the whole point. Artificial turf around Crabapple pools gets hammered by wet feet, chlorine splashes, and constant foot traffic—that's what it's designed for. It won't tear, wear thin, or develop dead patches like grass. The material is UV-stabilized to handle direct sun exposure too, so the area near Birmingham Falls or Crabapple Crossroads sun-facing pools holds up just as well as shaded spots.
Concrete removal and replacement runs $8–15 per square foot depending on thickness and disposal. Quality artificial pool turf, installed, typically runs $6–12 per square foot. You're often in the same ballpark cost-wise, but turf requires zero maintenance, won't crack in freeze-thaw cycles, and stays cooler. Most Crabapple homeowners see it as the smarter long-term investment.
No—we use commercial-grade artificial turf with UV inhibitors built in. It's designed for pool environments where sun exposure is intense and unforgiving. We've maintained turf installations across North Fulton for years without noticeable fading. The color stays vibrant whether your Crabapple lot gets full afternoon sun or mixed shade.
