Pool Deck Edge — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Your pool in Dillard deserves a deck that works as hard as you do—and that doesn't turn into a slippery, algae-covered mess every time the mountain humidity rolls in. Artificial turf around your pool edge is one of those smart upgrades that actually pays for itself in peace of mind. Instead of constantly pressure-washing a concrete deck or wrestling with natural grass that gets swallowed by shade and clay soil, you get a clean, safe, comfortable surface that looks like a real backyard instead of a pool maintenance headache. Whether you're down in Downtown Dillard or closer to the Sky Valley border, the cool North Georgia climate and that dense mountain soil we have up here create their own set of challenges for traditional pool decking. But synthetic turf thrives in exactly these conditions—it drains fast, won't compact under foot traffic, and won't turn into a moss farm just because of our higher elevation and consistent moisture. We've worked with plenty of Dillard homeowners who thought they were stuck with either expensive pavers or that familiar concrete-and-algae cycle. Once they see how clean and inviting a well-installed synthetic deck looks next to the real water, they wonder why they didn't do it sooner.
Dillard's mountain soil is clay-heavy and tends to stay damp longer than lowland Georgia, which means drainage around your pool is genuinely important. If you go with natural grass or bare earth, you're fighting constant moisture retention and the fungal growth that comes with it. Artificial turf solves that problem instantly—it percolates water through to a proper sub-base rather than letting it sit on top. The elevation and tree coverage around most Dillard properties also means you're dealing with partial to heavy shade depending on where your pool sits. That's fine for synthetic—it won't thin out or turn brown in shadowed areas the way sod would. We size and slope pool-edge installations to handle the runoff patterns typical of our area; the slight grade changes matter more up here than they do in flatter regions. Your deck footprint probably isn't massive either—most Dillard pools sit on standard residential lots—which means we can dial in the exact dimensions and blend the turf edge seamlessly with your existing landscape. Installation typically happens quickly because we're not fighting through hard clay or dealing with extensive excavation.
Not with the right product. We install turf with textured, slip-resistant fibers specifically rated for wet pool environments. The backing drains so fast that water doesn't pool or sit—it moves right through. That matters more in Dillard than elsewhere because our humidity and mountain moisture mean pool decks stay damper longer. You'll actually have better traction than with wet concrete or slippery pavers.
High-quality synthetic turf lasts 12–15 years in residential pool settings, and Dillard's cooler climate actually helps. We don't have the intense summer UV that breaks down turf faster in lowland areas. Winter freeze-thaw cycles are mild enough that they don't damage the backing or seams. We use materials engineered for exactly this elevation and moisture profile.
Our Dillard installations use a crushed stone base layer that handles the heavy moisture typical of this area. The clay soil underneath means we don't rely on natural percolation—we create a controlled drainage plane that funnels water away from your pool structure and foundation. It's a small detail that prevents big problems down the road.
Absolutely. We work around in-ground and above-ground pools all the time without draining them. The work is clean, contained, and we're careful with existing plumbing and equipment. Most Dillard pool-edge projects take just a few days from start to finish, and you can use your pool while we're working.
