New Construction Home — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Building a new home in Dillard means you're thinking about every detail—and your pool area deserves the same attention as your foundation. That's where pool-turf comes in. Unlike the natural grass that struggles in our North Georgia mountain climate, artificial turf around your pool deck stays green year-round, never turns muddy when guests walk over wet concrete, and handles the freeze-thaw cycles we get up here without dying back come winter. We've installed pool-turf for new construction homes across Rabun County, from the Sky Valley neighborhoods down to Downtown Dillard, and we know exactly what works in our elevation and soil. Your pool is an investment—the turf surrounding it should be too. Artificial pool-turf isn't just about looks; it's about creating a space that actually functions during our cooler seasons and doesn't require constant reseeding or fertilizing. When you're pouring the foundation and framing walls, now's the perfect time to plan the hardscape and turf layout. We can work alongside your builder to make sure everything flows together seamlessly.
Dillard's mountain soil is acidic and dense—not ideal for sustaining thick natural grass, especially in shaded areas where our elevation keeps things cool and damp longer. Your pool area probably gets mixed sun exposure depending on whether you're nestled near the ridge or in one of the valleys closer to town. This matters because artificial turf performs flawlessly in both full sun and partial shade, unlike sod that thins out in shadowy spots. Around your pool deck, drainage is critical. Our far North Georgia terrain means proper base prep and slope away from the pool shell itself. We account for seasonal water runoff that comes with our rainfall patterns. Most new construction homes in the Dillard area sit on larger lots, which gives us flexibility with pool-turf layout—you might have room for a generous surround or a more intimate deck. One thing we always recommend: if you're near the Sky Valley border or Downtown Dillard, check any HOA guidelines early. A few communities have landscaping standards. Artificial turf typically meets or exceeds those requirements, but it's worth confirming during your planning phase. We handle all the grading and compaction that our mountain soil requires.
Absolutely. Natural grass dies back or turns brown up here, but our pool-turf stays vibrant. The material flexes with freeze-thaw without cracking or deteriorating. We've installed it on dozens of mountain properties in Rabun County, and it outperforms sod every time. Proper base installation—which we handle—ensures drainage so ice doesn't pool underneath.
We don't rely on your native soil for turf health. We install a crushed stone and sand base over your Dillard soil, creating a stable, draining foundation. Your acidic mountain earth stays put; the turf sits on top of engineered layers. No fertilizing battles, no pH adjustments needed.
Earlier is better. Once your grading, drainage, and pool shell are set, we can prep and install turf before final landscaping. This prevents muddy construction traffic from damaging fresh turf. We coordinate timing with your builder so the pool area looks finished when you move in.
Some HOAs have guidelines, but artificial turf is usually approved—it's a maintained, clean appearance. We recommend checking your deed restrictions early in your build. Most of our Dillard installs pass HOA review without issue. We can advise on color and style choices that fit community standards.
