This Week Install — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Your backyard pool in Doraville deserves turf that actually works—not the patchy, muddy mess that DeKalb's dense clay soil creates around deck areas. We've installed artificial turf around pools in the Assembly area, along the Buford Highway corridor, and throughout the 30340 and 30360 zip codes long enough to know exactly what holds up here. Between the summer humidity, the shade patterns from older trees and newer mixed-use developments, and the foot traffic that comes with entertaining, your pool surround takes a beating. Real grass doesn't stand a chance. Artificial turf, on the other hand, drains properly (critical in our clay-heavy soil), stays green year-round without chemicals, and gives you a slip-resistant surface that's safer when wet. We can be at your Doraville property this week if you need it. Most installs take 1–2 days depending on deck size and existing conditions. Since we're just 25 minutes away, we keep overhead low and pass that savings to you.
Doraville's location in DeKalb County means you're dealing with dense urban clay underneath most yards—especially in the Assembly redevelopment zone and around the MARTA corridor. This clay drains slowly and compacts over time, which is exactly why artificial turf shines here. Real sod struggles, stays waterlogged, and develops bare patches fast. For pool areas specifically, we grade the base properly so water runs toward storm drains, not back under the turf. Sun exposure varies wildly depending on your lot and neighboring structures. Some properties near Buford Highway get full afternoon sun; others in established neighborhoods have significant shade from mature oaks. We assess your specific microclimate during the site visit because turf choice and infill type depend on it. Most Doraville residential lots are modest—not sprawling estates—so the cost per square foot matters. We size the job accurately from the start. Many HOAs in the area allow or even encourage artificial turf around pools, but we always verify deed restrictions before quoting. Installation is cleaner and faster in spring and fall, but we handle summer jobs too.
Yes. Our turf is rated for Georgia's climate—it won't melt or degrade under full sun. The key is proper drainage underneath, which we handle by accounting for DeKalb's clay soil. We install a base system that sheds water instead of trapping it. Infill material (sand and rubber) keeps the surface cooler to the touch and improves playability in summer.
Most weeks, yes. We're 25 minutes from the Assembly and Buford Highway areas, so scheduling is flexible. A typical pool-surround install takes 1–2 days. We'll confirm availability and site conditions during your initial contact, then lock in a start date that works for you.
We slope the base slightly toward drainage points and use a perforated underlayment system. Water drains through the turf and base layer into the existing site drainage or storm system. This prevents pooling and mold—especially important in Doraville, where humidity is high and clay soil naturally sheds water slowly.
Absolutely. It's non-toxic, free of harmful chemicals, and provides a cushioned, slip-resistant surface when wet—safer than concrete or real grass around pools. Pets won't dig it up or track mud into your home. We use infill materials rated for residential families and can discuss options during your consultation.
