Wheelchair Accessible — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Doraville homeowners dealing with clay-heavy soil and compact yards around the Assembly and Buford Highway corridor have discovered that artificial turf around the pool is a game-changer. The DeKalb clay doesn't drain well, and if you've got a pool in one of those redevelopment-era homes, you know how quickly a natural lawn turns into a muddy mess during Georgia's humid summers. That's where we come in. We've installed dozens of pool-side turf systems in 30340 and 30360, and we've learned exactly what works in this neighborhood. Artificial turf eliminates the constant fight with drainage problems, gives you a clean, slip-resistant surface for wheelchair access and foot traffic around the pool deck, and it actually stays green through the dog days of August. No more tracking clay into your pool filter. No more dead patches from chlorine splash. Your pool area becomes a genuine outdoor living space instead of a maintenance headache. We handle everything from site prep on those tricky urban clay soils to final grading and edging, and we're just 25 minutes away when you need us.
Doraville's DeKalb clay is heavy and compacted—especially in the redevelopment areas around the Assembly and along Buford Highway. That clay is actually your turf's friend because it provides solid base support, but it means we've got to get drainage right from day one. We remove the clay layer where needed, add a engineered base, and install our turf with proper slope away from the pool so water moves correctly. Summer sun hits differently depending on whether your pool faces the highway or backs onto a wooded lot; we assess shade patterns and choose turf pile heights that handle both full-sun and partial-shade conditions. Many homes in this area have compact yards with less than 20 feet of clearance around the pool deck, so we're experienced at working in tight spaces without disrupting existing landscaping. HOA rules in some Assembly-area developments require approval before major landscaping changes, and we can help navigate those conversations. Wheelchair accessibility is critical for pool areas—our turf installation creates a smooth, level surface that's also non-slip when wet, which beats natural grass every time for safety and usability.
Absolutely. We use UV-stabilized synthetic fibers rated for pool environments, and chlorine splash won't degrade or discolor the turf the way it does natural grass. DeKalb's intense summer sun used to break down older synthetic products, but modern turf holds up beautifully. We've got pools in 30340 that have been running strong for five-plus years with zero chlorine damage.
Clay drainage is our specialty here. We install a permeable base layer, typically 4–6 inches of engineered stone, that sits between the clay and turf. Water percolates through the turf backing and stone, then disperses into the surrounding soil or toward a slope. We grade the pool deck slightly away from the pool edge so standing water never happens.
Yes—that's one of the biggest wins. Our turf installation creates a smooth, level surface with no ruts, divots, or soft spots. It's non-slip when wet and requires zero maintenance, which means your pool area stays safe and usable year-round. It's genuinely better for accessibility than natural grass.
Some Assembly-area developments and managed communities do require it. We're happy to help coordinate with your HOA. Most approve artificial turf because it maintains property values and looks cleaner than struggling natural lawns in clay-heavy soil. We can provide before-and-after photos and specs to speed up approval.
