Your backyard pool area in Dunwoody deserves a surface that actually works year-round—and artificial turf around your pool is one of the smartest upgrades we see homeowners making in Georgetown, Winters Chapel, and Dunwoody Village. Here's the thing: pool decks take a beating. Between chlorine splash, constant foot traffic, and Georgia's humid summers, real grass turns into a muddy mess or a brown eyesore within a season. Artificial turf handles all of that without complaint. It stays green, doesn't get slippery when wet, won't stain your feet, and you'll never spend a Saturday afternoon fighting crabgrass around your pool area again. Whether you're near Brook Run Park or closer to Perimeter Mall, our customers tell us the same thing—they wish they'd done it sooner. We've installed pool turf in hundreds of Dunwoody yards, and we know exactly how to prep your space, manage drainage (important in clay soil), and create a surface that looks natural while performing like it's made for pool season. Let's talk about turning that soggy corner of your yard into a space your family actually wants to hang out in.
Dunwoody sits on DeKalb clay, which is honestly both a blessing and a challenge for pool turf. Clay holds moisture—great for stability, tricky for drainage. That's why proper base prep matters more here than in sandier counties. We always build in a perforated drainage layer under pool turf in this area; it keeps water from pooling and prevents that spongy feel in summer. Your lot size is probably in the half-acre to three-quarter-acre range, which means you've got real room to work with around your pool. Shade is another Dunwoody reality. If your pool area gets afternoon cover from mature oaks or pines, artificial turf actually thrives—no sunburn, no thin patches from foot traffic in shaded zones. We see a lot of HOA communities here, especially in Dunwoody Village, so check your deed restrictions before you start. Most allow turf, but a few require grass. The good news: modern artificial turf looks indistinguishable from the real thing, and most restrictive HOAs approve it anyway. Installation typically takes two to three days depending on your existing surface—whether we're pulling out old sod, working with concrete, or starting fresh. Georgia's heat and humidity mean we recommend turf infill that resists odor and compaction.
Yes, dark turf surfaces absorb heat. That's why we recommend lighter-colored or hybrid turfs for pool decks—they stay cooler underfoot. Some customers add shade structures or keep trees for afternoon cover. Modern pool turfs are engineered to stay cooler than older versions, but on a 95-degree day near Perimeter, bare feet will feel warmth. Sandals or going barefoot into the pool solves it.
It does, but only with correct installation. We install a drainage base layer under all pool turf in Dunwoody—usually perforated pipe, gravel, and a geotextile. This prevents water from sitting on clay and keeps your turf from becoming spongy. Without it, DeKalb clay will trap moisture. We've seen poor installs fail in heavy rain; ours don't.
Absolutely. Chlorine doesn't degrade quality artificial turf. Regular grass dies from splash and chemical exposure; turf handles it permanently. Just rinse it occasionally if you see residue buildup. We've got turf installations in Georgetown and Winters Chapel that have been chlorine-proof for 10+ years.
It depends on your pool deck size and existing surface condition. Removing old sod costs more than starting on concrete. Most Dunwoody residential pools run 400–800 square feet of surrounding deck. We typically quote $8–$15 per square foot installed, including base prep. Call us for a free measure and estimate.
