Military Discount — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Living in Dillard means you've got some of the most beautiful mountain scenery in Georgia right in your backyard—and that comes with real challenges when you're trying to maintain a pool area year-round. The cool climate and heavy rainfall that make our North Georgia mountains so stunning also mean traditional sod struggles with drainage, moss creep, and seasonal dormancy. That's where artificial turf around your pool deck makes genuine sense. You get a safe, non-slip surface that handles our wet springs and fall rains without turning into a mud pit, plus zero maintenance while you're enjoying views toward Sky Valley or hosting gatherings near Downtown Dillard. Military families and full-time residents alike appreciate that artificial turf solves the specific problems Rabun County yards face—no more fighting our acidic mountain soil, no algae growth from constant moisture, and no bare patches come winter. We've worked with homeowners throughout Dillard's neighborhoods to create pool surrounds that are both practical and polished, designed to hold up to our climate while giving you back the time you'd spend on upkeep.
Dillard's elevation and mountain soil present unique turf considerations most installers down in the flatlands never encounter. Our acidic, rocky soil doesn't compact uniformly, which means standard base prep needs adjustment—we account for natural drainage patterns and the clay-heavy composition common in Rabun County when we're setting up your pool deck. Shade is another real factor. Depending on whether your property sits toward Downtown Dillard or closer to the Sky Valley border, you'll get varying sun exposure throughout the day, especially with the ridge lines affecting afternoon light. We select turf blends and infill materials rated for high moisture environments since our cool climate means slower evaporation and consistent dampness around pool areas. Root barrier installation matters more here than in drier Georgia regions—our rainfall keeps soil consistently moist, so proper drainage layers prevent water from pooling beneath the surface. Most Dillard properties we work on range from modest residential lots to more spacious mountain estates, and we size drainage systems and turf density accordingly. The good news: artificial turf thrives in high-moisture zones and actually performs better here than struggling sod would.
Dillard's cool mountain climate and frequent rainfall create constant moisture that promotes algae, fungal growth, and moss on live grass. Combined with our acidic Rabun County soil, sod struggles to establish strong roots. Artificial turf bypasses these problems entirely—it drains properly, never develops algae, and actually improves safety when wet, unlike slippery natural grass in our humid conditions.
We don't fight the soil—we work around it. We excavate to proper depth, install heavy-duty drainage rock layers that account for our region's moisture retention, add landscape fabric to prevent soil mixing, and finish with a compacted base. This approach respects Rabun County's geology while ensuring water moves away from your pool area instead of pooling.
Absolutely. Our turf is engineered for freeze-thaw cycles and heavy moisture. Unlike sod that dies back or thins in cold weather, artificial turf stays green and functional year-round. Spring runoff doesn't erode it or cause drainage issues—the drainage system we install handles mountain water patterns that would destroy traditional landscaping.
Yes. We honor military discounts on full artificial turf installations, including pool deck projects. If you're stationed nearby or a veteran in Dillard, bring your military ID or documentation to your consultation, and we'll apply your discount to materials and labor for your pool surround.
