Pool season in Dunwoody means family time, backyard barbecues, and the kind of outdoor living that makes those suburban lots in Georgetown and Winters Chapel actually feel like an escape. But here's what we hear all the time: homeowners love their pools, but they're stuck with muddy, slippery deck areas or patchy grass that dies out from constant foot traffic and chlorine splash. Artificial turf around your pool solves that problem—and in Dunwoody's climate, it's a game-changer. You get a soft, safe surface that stays green year-round, drains properly so you're not dealing with puddles near the water, and holds up to the heavy use that comes with kids, guests, and summer entertaining. Our turf installs in Dunwoody come in multiple colors so you can match your home's aesthetic, whether you're in Dunwoody Village with manicured landscaping or you want something that complements your pool area specifically. The DeKalb clay that most of our local yards sit on actually works in your favor during installation—we have the drainage figured out. No more slipping, no chemical burns on natural grass, and no constant reseeding every spring.
Dunwoody yards present a few specific challenges we've learned to work around. The DeKalb clay base is dense, which means proper drainage and a solid base layer are non-negotiable around pool areas. Water sitting around a pool deck isn't just unsightly—it can damage your turf and create safety hazards. We build in engineered drainage systems during installation so water moves away from your pool and poolside seating areas. Shade is another Dunwoody reality. Between mature trees in Georgetown and Winters Chapel neighborhoods and the general suburban canopy, many pool areas get mixed sun-and-shade exposure. Our darker turf colors perform better in these conditions—they don't show algae growth as easily, and they maintain that lush appearance even on partly shaded days. Most Dunwoody residential lots run 0.5 to 1.5 acres, which means pool decks here typically range from 400 to 800 square feet. We can install in phases if needed, and many of our clients in the Dunwoody Village area appreciate that we can complete jobs without eating up their entire summer. Installation takes 2-4 days depending on size and site prep.
We usually recommend our deeper greens or olive-blend colors for Dunwoody pools because of the shade patterns here. The lighter greens can look washed out under tree cover, and they show algae easier in humid summers. Darker colors stay vibrant even on cloudy days and handle the splash zone better. Most Dunwoody homeowners go with our premium blend—it's photorealistic and looks better in photos too, which matters for Georgetown and Dunwoody Village properties.
No. That's actually one of the big wins of going artificial. Our pool-grade turf is chlorine and salt-resistant, so splashing, backwash, and regular pool maintenance won't degrade it. Natural grass? It burns, turns brown, and dies. Artificial turf laughs at it. We see this all the time in DeKalb County pools—our turf clients never deal with the brown ring problem.
DeKalb clay doesn't drain naturally, so we install a crushed-stone base layer and sometimes a perforated underdrain depending on your yard slope and water table. Around pools in Winters Chapel and Georgetown, we slope the turf slightly away from the water so runoff moves to landscaping or a drain line. Proper drainage installation adds a day or two but saves you from puddles all summer.
Yes. We work around your pool and install the turf on the deck and surrounding area while the pool stays full. It takes careful planning and protection, but it's standard for us. Most Dunwoody pool owners prefer this because they don't lose a day of summer use. We've done dozens of installs this way in the area.
