Drainage — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Your backyard pool in Dunwoody deserves a surface that actually works year-round—not soggy grass that turns into a mud pit come summer. That's where artificial turf around your pool makes real sense. We've installed hundreds of pool decks across Georgetown, Winters Chapel, and Dunwoody Village, and the difference between a properly drained synthetic surface and natural grass isn't subtle. Rain in DeKalb County is relentless, and the clay-heavy soil that comes with suburban Dunwoody lots doesn't drain the way homeowners hope it will. You end up with standing water, algae creep, and a slippery mess every time you step outside. Artificial pool turf solves that problem without requiring constant maintenance or chemical treatments. It stays dry, stays safe, and gives your family a usable outdoor space that doesn't degrade after a few seasons of pool parties. We work with DeKalb County's specific soil composition and the shade patterns common in this area—whether you're nestled near Brook Run Park or in one of the tree-heavy lots around the Perimeter corridor. The drainage system we install under your turf is engineered for Dunwoody's climate, so you're not just getting a pretty lawn. You're getting a functional, long-term solution.
Dunwoody's clay soil is both a blessing and a curse. It holds your turf in place beautifully, but it doesn't naturally shed water the way sandy or loamy soils do. That's why subsurface drainage matters more here than in other parts of Georgia. We install a gravel and perforated pipe system beneath your synthetic turf that routes water away from your pool deck toward storm drains or designated runoff areas—critical in Georgetown and Winters Chapel where lot sizes are moderate and drainage spots are limited. Shade is another factor we account for. Many properties here sit under mature oaks and pines that create dappled light patterns. While artificial turf doesn't require photosynthesis, that shade actually helps extend the turf's lifespan by reducing UV exposure. We also work within the landscape guidelines that some HOA communities in Dunwoody Village enforce. Most are flexible about synthetic turf around pools since it's clearly a hardscape element, but we verify before installation. Pool deck dimensions typically range from 10×15 to 20×30 feet in suburban lots—manageable sizes that benefit enormously from proper drainage during Georgia's spring and summer rainfall. The DeKalb clay base, combined with our engineered drainage layer, creates a stable, non-slip surface that outperforms natural grass by a wide margin.
Absolutely. Our subsurface drainage system is designed specifically for DeKalb County's clay soil and the high rainfall you get April through September. Water percolates through the turf, passes through a gravel bed, and drains via perforated pipe—keeping your pool deck dry and safe. We've installed systems across Winters Chapel and Georgetown that handle intense downpours without pooling.
Synthetic turf warms more than natural grass, but not to unsafe levels when installed with proper backing and drainage. The moisture from your pool and shade from nearby trees—common in Dunwoody properties—help moderate temperature. We recommend lighter-colored turf if your deck gets full sun exposure.
A typical pool deck installation takes 2–3 days depending on size and existing ground conditions. Dunwoody's soil preparation usually takes a full day, then we lay base materials and turf on subsequent days. We can schedule around your summer pool season.
Our engineered system is sized to handle 100-year storm events common to the Atlanta metro and DeKalb County. If your property slopes toward the pool area, we install additional drainage channels or dry wells to redirect overflow. Storm surge isn't an issue—water management is built into the design.
