Shaded Yard — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A pool area in Dunwoody should be a place where your family actually wants to spend time—not a muddy mess by mid-summer or a slippery hazard when it rains. That's where artificial turf comes in. We've installed pool-side turf for homeowners all over Georgetown, Winters Chapel, and Dunwoody Village, and the difference is immediate. Real grass around a pool gets torn up fast. Kids run in and out, chlorine burns it, foot traffic wears paths into the soil, and that DeKalb clay base holds moisture like a sponge. Within a season, you've got bare spots, algae creeping in, and a safety issue. Artificial turf eliminates all of that. It stays green year-round, drains properly (crucial around pools), and gives you that clean, finished look without the constant maintenance. Whether your pool sits in direct sun near Perimeter Mall or tucked into the shaded lots common in Brook Run neighborhoods, we can design a turf solution that actually works with your yard, not against it.
Dunwoody's suburban lots present some real challenges for natural grass, especially around pools. That heavy DeKalb clay soil doesn't drain well, which is a nightmare when you've got chlorinated water splashing around. The neighborhoods here—Georgetown, Winters Chapel, and Dunwoody Village—tend to have mature trees, which means a lot of shade in the afternoons. Real grass struggles in shade, gets thin and mossy, and stays wet longer after rain or pool use. Artificial turf thrives in those conditions. It doesn't need sunlight to stay vibrant, so even if your pool deck is shaded by oaks and pines for half the day, the turf looks perfect. Installation around pools in our area requires proper grading and drainage planning—we always account for how water moves through your yard after heavy rain. Most Dunwoody residential lots are compact, so efficiency matters. We'll maximize your usable pool space, avoid overcomplicated layouts, and ensure the turf sits at the right height relative to your pool coping. A few properties have HOA guidelines, so we'll verify any landscape rules before we break ground. The typical installation timeline for a pool surround is 3–5 days depending on existing conditions.
Absolutely. High-quality pool turf is specifically designed to handle chlorine exposure and standing water. It won't degrade, bleach, or develop algae like natural grass does. The drainage system we install beneath the turf in Dunwoody's clay soil ensures water flows away from the pool coping and into the yard, preventing puddles and mold. You'll want to rinse it with fresh water occasionally, but it's extremely durable.
Most residential pool installations in Dunwoody neighborhoods take 3 to 5 days, depending on the size of your deck, existing surface conditions, and whether we need to address drainage or grading. We'll prep the site, install a proper base layer to handle that DeKalb clay, and roll out the turf. We can usually have you enjoying your new pool area within a week.
Not much. Rinse it with fresh water now and then to flush out chlorine residue. Remove leaves and debris regularly, especially in shaded yards near Brook Run Park where trees drop more. That's really it. You won't mow, fertilize, or worry about bare spots forming from heavy foot traffic—common problems with natural grass in Dunwoody's suburban pools.
It's actually ideal. Dunwoody's mature trees create shade that kills natural grass, leaving thin patches and moss. Artificial turf stays vibrant in full shade, which is perfect for pools tucked into tree-lined yards in Georgetown or Winters Chapel. You get that finished, green look without fighting the sun exposure problem.
