Landscape Upgrade — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Your pool area in Dunwoody deserves a surface that actually holds up to Georgia summers without turning into a mud pit every time it rains. That's where artificial turf around your pool deck makes a real difference—especially in neighborhoods like Georgetown and Winters Chapel where yards tend to be shaded and the DeKalb clay underneath doesn't drain the way you'd hope. We've installed pool turf in all three ZIP codes here (30338, 30346, and 30360), and the pattern is always the same: homeowners get tired of replacing sod every year, dealing with slippery wet concrete, or watching their landscaping turn brown in the shade. Artificial turf solves that. It stays green year-round, doesn't get slippery when wet, and handles the foot traffic around a busy pool without showing wear. Whether your lot is near Perimeter Mall or tucked into a quieter part of Dunwoody Village, we can design a pool surround that complements your existing landscape and actually functions the way you want it to. No more compromises between aesthetics and practicality.
Dunwoody's soil is predominantly DeKalb clay—notoriously dense and slow-draining. That matters for pool turf because standing water is your enemy, both for the turf backing and for safety around the pool deck. When we install, we build in proper base layers and drainage underneath to keep water moving, especially important given how much rain rolls through in summer. The shade situation varies wildly depending on where you're located. Some properties in Georgetown have mature tree coverage that cuts direct sunlight by 40–50%, while homes closer to Brook Run Park or toward the Dunwoody Village side get more afternoon sun. We match turf type accordingly—some products handle shade better than others, and we'll assess your specific lot during the consultation. Most Dunwoody residential pools sit on lots between a quarter and half acre, which means we're typically working with defined space that benefits from clean, durable landscaping rather than constantly maintaining natural grass. HOA rules in some neighborhoods allow turf upgrades without much pushback, but we always verify local guidelines before recommending installation. Our crew is based about 28 minutes away, so scheduling and follow-up maintenance access is straightforward for Dunwoody jobs.
Yes, as long as drainage is installed correctly underneath. DeKalb clay is the real challenge—it holds water instead of letting it drain naturally. We build a base layer that channels water away from the turf backing, preventing mold and deterioration. The turf itself is designed for wet climates and dries quickly even after heavy rain. You won't get the mushy, slippery surface you'd get with natural grass in shade.
Absolutely. While natural grass struggles in Dunwoody's shade, artificial turf doesn't need sunlight to stay green. We choose turf products engineered for low-light conditions and ensure the base preparation handles moisture properly—critical under tree canopy where evaporation is slower. Shade actually extends the life of the turf by reducing UV exposure.
Cost depends on your pool deck size, current surface condition, and drainage needs. Most Dunwoody residential pools run between 300–800 square feet of surround. We provide a free site assessment to give you an accurate quote based on your specific lot, soil conditions, and any existing hardscape. Email or call us to schedule.
Most do, especially for pool decks where turf improves safety and maintenance. However, HOA rules vary by neighborhood—some in Dunwoody Village or near Perimeter Mall have specific landscape guidelines. We verify your HOA documents before you commit and can work within those requirements. It's a quick step that saves headaches later.
