Spring Special — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Pool season in Doraville creeps up fast, and if you've been staring at that patchy, mud-prone area around your pool deck, spring is the perfect time to fix it. Artificial turf around your pool solves the real problem we see all over the Assembly area and Buford Highway corridor: that DeKalb clay soil stays perpetually damp, your grass either drowns or burns out, and you end up tracking mud and debris into the water. We've installed pool-side turf for dozens of homeowners in 30340 and 30360, and the difference is immediate. No more chlorine-killed brown spots, no more slippery algae on natural grass in shaded pool areas, no more spending your weekend maintaining a landscape that fights against the humidity and redevelopment construction dust blowing through the neighborhood. Artificial turf around a pool isn't just cosmetic—it's practical. It stays firm underfoot, drains properly (which matters when you're literally next to water), and handles the unique stresses of chlorine splash and high foot traffic. We're just 25 minutes away in Doraville, and we've timed spring installations perfectly to get your yard ready before Memorial Day weekend.
Doraville's clay-heavy soil is both a blessing and a curse for poolside landscaping. The upside: it holds structure and doesn't wash away easily. The downside: it retains moisture like a sponge, which means natural grass around your pool deck stays boggy and becomes a slip hazard. Many homes in the Assembly area sit in mixed sun-shade patterns due to mature tree canopies and the density of the redevelopment corridor, so you might have a shaded pool area on one side and direct afternoon sun on the other—conditions that natural turf struggles with. Artificial turf handles both exposures without thinning or developing dead zones. We've also noticed that HOA guidelines in some Doraville neighborhoods have specific rules about landscape appearance and water usage. Synthetic turf checks those boxes: it looks manicured year-round and uses zero water. Installation around pools in this area typically involves proper grading to direct drainage away from your pool's circulation system, and we account for the clay base by adding a perforated sub-base layer. Most Doraville residential pools have compact yards—typical of urban DeKalb County homes—so we design installations that maximize usable deck space without waste.
No. Modern pool-grade artificial turf is manufactured to resist chlorine, salt, and UV exposure. The real issue in Doraville's humid environment is drainage and mold prevention on natural grass—something synthetic turf eliminates entirely. We use perforated base layers and ensure water flows away from your pool equipment, which is especially important given our clay soil's tendency to hold moisture.
Absolutely. DeKalb clay actually helps us because it's stable. We excavate 2–3 inches, add a gravel base for drainage, lay perforated membrane, and install the turf. The clay won't shift like sandier soil in other Georgia areas, so your deck stays level and safe. This is one of the advantages of working in an urban redevelopment area like ours.
Yes. Shade is actually one reason homeowners choose synthetic turf around pools. Natural grass thins and gets slippery in low light. Our turf maintains grip and appearance in partial to full shade. For heavily shaded pools, we recommend a slightly darker color option, which also hides dust from nearby construction better than lighter tones.
A typical residential pool surround in Doraville takes 1–2 days, depending on deck size and soil prep. We're prioritizing spring installations right now, and with our location just 25 minutes away, we can schedule you quickly. Contact us soon if you want the job done before June.
