Base Prep — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Pool season in Dunwoody brings families to their backyards, and nothing kills the vibe faster than muddy feet, slippery decking, or dead grass patches around your water feature. That's where artificial pool turf comes in. Whether you're in Georgetown, Winters Chapel, or over by Dunwoody Village, the DeKalb clay soil around here doesn't play nice with traditional sod—especially in the splash zone where foot traffic is constant and drainage becomes critical. Artificial turf solves this problem entirely. It gives you that lush, green aesthetic year-round without the maintenance nightmare, and it handles the wet conditions around pools better than any natural grass could. We've installed dozens of pool-side systems across Dunwoody's neighborhoods, and homeowners consistently tell us it's one of the best upgrades they made. The base prep work is where the magic happens—get that foundation right, and your pool turf will last for years without washouts, divots, or the algae blooms you sometimes see on untreated soil.
Dunwoody's soil profile is predominantly DeKalb clay, which presents a unique challenge around pool areas. Clay doesn't drain quickly, so standing water is a real concern—especially in the splash radius where you're dealing with regular saturation. Before we install your pool turf, we're removing the top layer, amending that clay base with proper drainage rock and aggregate, and establishing a slope that channels water away from your pool equipment and deck. Most Dunwoody lots sit between a quarter-acre and half-acre, which means you're working with defined space. Shade is another factor—properties near Brook Run Park or tucked into Georgetown's tree-lined streets get afternoon coverage that impacts water retention and material longevity. We always assess your specific sun exposure during the site visit. HOA communities in the area (common in Dunwoody Village and surrounding subdivisions) have landscape guidelines, so we make sure your turf system complies with those restrictions before we break ground. The good news is that quality artificial turf typically passes HOA requirements because it looks manicured and professional year-round.
Absolutely. That's exactly why we spend time on base prep. We remove compacted clay, lay down a gravel and perforated pipe system, and slope the foundation so water drains away from your pool and deck. Dunwoody clay is dense, but proper engineering gets around it. Without the right base, you'd have pooling and algae—with it, water moves away cleanly.
You *can* DIY, but base prep is where most homeowners run into trouble. Dunwoody's soil needs grading, amendment, and compacting to the right density. Miss those steps, and you'll have settling, drainage problems, and wasted money. We handle the heavy prep work so your turf sits on a solid, lasting foundation.
Depends on pool size and existing conditions. A standard backyard pool setup usually takes 2–3 days for excavation, grading, drainage installation, and compacting. We're about 28 minutes from most Dunwoody locations, so scheduling is flexible. We'll give you a timeline during the initial walkthrough.
Most Dunwoody HOAs approve quality artificial turf because it maintains consistent appearance and doesn't create maintenance issues. We've worked with several Georgetown and Dunwoody Village communities. We recommend checking your specific CC&Rs, and we're happy to help communicate with your management company if needed.
