Forever Home — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Dunwoody homeowners have figured out something that the rest of DeKalb County is catching up to: a pool is only as good as the space around it. That pristine water means nothing if you're standing on patchy, muddy grass that turns into a swamp every time it rains—and trust me, our Georgia clay doesn't help matters. Artificial turf around your pool deck solves this in ways that natural grass simply can't. You get year-round green, zero mud tracked into the house, and a surface that actually drains instead of pooling water near your foundation. Whether you're in Georgetown, Winters Chapel, or near Dunwoody Village, we've installed pool turf for families who want their backyard to actually feel finished. No more dead zones where the chlorine kills the lawn. No more brown patches in July. Just a clean, usable outdoor living space that survives both the Georgia heat and the occasional neighborhood pool party. That's the turf setup we're here to build for you.
Dunwoody sits on the kind of heavy DeKalb clay that loves to hold water. Around pools, that's a real issue—your natural grass gets saturated, roots suffocate, and within a season you've got a dead zone that looks worse than concrete. Artificial pool turf breathes in a way clay-based yards can't. We build in proper drainage layers beneath the turf so water moves away from your pool deck and foundation instead of sitting there. The other factor is shade. A lot of Dunwoody's residential lots are mature neighborhoods with tall oaks and pines. Natural grass struggles under that canopy, especially near pools where foot traffic is constant. Synthetic turf doesn't need sunlight, so it thrives whether you're in full sun or dappled shade. Installation in Dunwoody typically runs straightforward—we remove the old turf, amend the base, compact it properly, and lay the synthetic. Most residential lots here are quarter to half-acre, so pool surrounds usually run 200–400 square feet. HOA rules in Georgetown and Winters Chapel neighborhoods generally allow artificial turf if it's installed to spec, which we handle completely. The key is getting the infill depth and drainage right on clay soil, and that's where local experience makes the difference.
Absolutely. Clay holds water, but the turf system we install includes a perforated base layer that channels water away from your pool deck and foundation. We compact and slope the base correctly so standing water isn't an issue, even after heavy Georgia rain. Your pool deck actually becomes the driest part of your yard.
Yes, generally. Most Dunwoody neighborhoods permit synthetic turf when it meets their aesthetic standards. We've worked with Georgetown and Winters Chapel HOAs before and handle all the specifications they require—pile height, color, drainage performance. Check your HOA docs, and we'll make sure the install passes inspection.
A typical pool surround—say 300 square feet—takes about one full day on-site. We remove old turf, prep and compact the base, lay the synthetic, and install edge restraint. The turf is ready to use immediately. Most Dunwoody jobs are wrapped in a day.
Chlorine damages living root systems and burns natural blades. Synthetic fibers don't have roots or living tissue, so chlorine splash, splashout, and foot traffic won't degrade it. Rinse the turf occasionally to remove mineral buildup, and it stays vibrant for years.
