Maintenance — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Pool season in Dunwoody means one thing: your backyard becomes command central. Whether you're hosting neighbors from Georgetown or keeping the kids entertained through those humid Georgia summers, the last thing you want is a muddy mess around your pool deck. That's where artificial turf comes in. We've installed synthetic grass around dozens of Dunwoody pools—from the tree-lined lots near Winters Chapel to the spacious yards in Dunwoody Village—and the transformation is real. No more chlorine-burned grass. No more mud tracked into the house. No more fighting that DeKalb clay trying to grow anything decent in the shade. Pool turf isn't just about looks, though it definitely handles that. It's about creating a usable, safe, low-maintenance space where your family actually wants to spend time. We handle everything from layout and drainage to that final brushing that makes it feel brand new. Most Dunwoody homeowners we work with are shocked at how much they use their pool area once the turf goes in—and how much time they get back by not maintaining it.
Dunwoody's got some real challenges when it comes to yard work, and pool areas amplify them. That DeKalb clay doesn't drain well, which means water pools around your deck area during our rainy springs. Artificial turf solves this with proper base prep and perforated backing, but we have to do it right. Many Dunwoody yards sit under mature trees—especially around Brook Run Park areas—which means existing grass gets minimal sun anyway. Turf thrives where grass dies. We also see a lot of HOA considerations in the neighborhoods here. Most Dunwoody HOAs actually prefer artificial turf around pools because it looks maintained year-round and eliminates the brown-grass complaints. Lot sizes vary wildly too. Some homes near Perimeter have modest 30x30 pool areas, while others have sprawling backyards. We size the turf appropriately so it doesn't look oversized or cramped. The substrate matters more in Dunwoody than in drier areas—we typically use a recycled asphalt or engineered base to handle water movement and that clay underneath. Humidity is high, but quality turf breathes well, so mildew and mold aren't the concerns homeowners sometimes worry about.
Not like you'd think. We use cooling-formula turf with reflective fibers that stays considerably cooler than dark concrete. On peak summer days, you'll notice the difference, but barefoot use around the pool is totally comfortable. The shade from Dunwoody's trees helps too. If you want maximum coolness, we can select lighter-colored synthetic blends designed specifically for pool decks.
Chlorine and salt water don't degrade modern turf fibers. Rinse the area periodically if you have a salt system, and maybe hose it down after heavy pool days. DeKalb's high clay content actually works in your favor here—proper drainage underneath prevents chemical pooling. We use premium-grade turf rated for pool environments, not cheaper alternatives.
Most do, especially in Georgetown, Winters Chapel, and Dunwoody Village. We've completed plenty of HOA-approved installations. Check your specific covenants, but honestly, HOAs prefer turf around pools because it eliminates drainage complaints and looks maintained. We'll help you understand your guidelines.
A standard pool deck—say 400–600 square feet—takes 2–3 days. Larger yards or complex layouts might stretch to 4 days. We account for Dunwoody's clay base when scheduling, since proper substrate preparation takes time. Weather permitting, you're enjoying your new turf within a week of us starting.
