Next Week Install — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Your pool area in Decatur deserves better than patchy, mud-tracking grass that turns into a swamp every time it rains. We've installed artificial turf around dozens of pools throughout Oakhurst, Winnona Park, and the MAK Historic District—and we know exactly what works in DeKalb County. That red clay soil underneath your yard? It drains poorly, stays wet, and makes natural grass a constant headache, especially poolside where foot traffic is heavy and chlorine splash kills whatever grass you manage to grow. Artificial turf changes the game. No more muddy deck, no more dead patches, no more spending your summer weekends fighting with your landscape instead of enjoying it. We can get your pool area installed and ready to use within the next week, and you'll have a clean, safe, low-maintenance surface that handles Georgia's humidity and your family's pool parties without breaking a sweat. Most of our Decatur installs take just two to three days, and we handle the site prep, drainage setup, and all the seaming work so your new turf looks seamless and lasts for years.
Decatur's mature tree canopy is beautiful, but it creates real challenges for traditional pool landscaping. Dappled shade means natural grass struggles to establish—especially in yards near Winnona Park or the tree-lined streets around Agnes Scott. That signature DeKalb red clay also works against you: it compacts easily, sheds water poorly, and turns into a slippery mess when wet. Artificial turf sidesteps all of this. It performs consistently whether you're in full sun or filtered shade, and because it's not rooted in clay, you avoid the drainage nightmares that plague natural grass pools. Installation around pools requires thoughtful grading and perimeter drainage—water needs somewhere to go. We slope the turf slightly away from the pool deck and install an underpinning system that keeps standing water from pooling underneath. HOA guidelines in neighborhoods like MAK Historic District typically allow artificial turf as long as it looks maintained (which it does), and most Decatur pools sit on quarter-acre to half-acre lots, making turf installation straightforward without excessive square footage or cost. We also account for chlorine exposure—our pool-grade turf resists chemical damage far better than standard synthetic grass.
We schedule Decatur installations year-round and typically complete pool deck projects within two to three days. Since we're 30 minutes from most neighborhoods—Oakhurst, Winnona Park, and beyond—we can often accommodate next-week requests if you contact us early in the week. Site prep and drainage setup are included, so you're not waiting for multiple crews or phases.
Pool-grade turf has a textured surface that maintains grip even when wet, which matters for safety around pools. We also ensure proper slope and drainage so water doesn't sit on the surface. Chlorine splash does happen, but modern synthetic turf is formulated to resist chemical degradation—it won't yellow or break down like older materials. Rinse the area occasionally during heavy pool season if you want.
It actually makes artificial turf a smarter choice. Red clay drains poorly and causes natural grass to rot, especially poolside. We prepare the base by removing the top 3-4 inches of clay, installing drainage fabric, and laying down a compacted stone base. This prevents water from pooling underneath and keeps your turf performing perfectly for 10+ years.
Pool deck projects in Decatur typically range from $2,500 to $6,500 depending on square footage, drainage complexity, and any ground prep needed. Most homeowners in Oakhurst and surrounding areas spend around $4,000–$5,000 for a mid-sized pool surround. We provide a free site visit and exact quote—no guessing required.
