Turf Weight — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Most Dunwoody homeowners we talk to fall into one of two camps: either their natural grass lawn has surrendered to the DeKalb clay and shade under those mature trees, or they're tired of fighting the humidity and inconsistent drainage around their pool deck. Both situations point to the same solution—artificial turf. The neighborhoods around Georgetown, Winters Chapel, and Dunwoody Village have yards that are often shaded for half the day, which makes establishing and maintaining healthy sod nearly impossible. Pool areas especially demand something that won't become a muddy mess or harbor algae in the shade. Artificial turf solves that problem completely. It drains fast, stays usable year-round, and doesn't degrade under the constant foot traffic and chlorine splash that comes with pool ownership. We've installed hundreds of pools' worth of synthetic grass throughout DeKalb County, and we know exactly how to prep the base for this climate—compacted, leveled, and ready to handle Georgia's heavy summer rains. Your pool deck doesn't have to be an eyesore or a maintenance nightmare anymore.
Dunwoody's clay-heavy soil is honestly one of the biggest reasons artificial turf makes sense for pool areas. Clay holds water instead of draining it, which creates pooling, rot, and that perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes and mold. When we install synthetic turf around your pool in 30338, 30346, or 30360, we build a drainage system beneath the surface that handles what the native soil won't. The shade situation here—especially in neighborhoods backing onto wooded areas near Brook Run Park—means natural grass would thin out or disappear entirely. Artificial turf performs identically under sun or shade, so you don't have dead patches in your yard. Most Dunwoody residential lots are 0.25 to 0.5 acres, which means your pool deck is a major focal point. We've learned to work around the mature oak and pine trees that are everywhere here; their root systems mean we can't just dig deep without hitting obstacles. Our installation approach accounts for that. We also stay current with any HOA guidelines in your community—some neighborhoods have specific requirements about turf appearance or edge finishing, and we build to spec. The humidity here is relentless in summer, so we recommend turf with excellent drainage and UV stabilization to keep it looking fresh through August.
Yes. Quality synthetic turf is chlorine-resistant and won't degrade from regular splash or minor chemical exposure. The infill we use is designed to flush chemicals through during rain or watering. That said, we recommend rinsing the turf occasionally with fresh water if you have heavy chlorine use. The real advantage is that you won't have dead grass patches or rust stains—common problems with natural sod around pools in Dunwoody's humid climate.
Clay is our primary obstacle. We excavate to proper depth, compact the base, and install a perforated drainage layer before laying turf. This system prevents water from sitting and keeps your pool deck safe year-round. Dunwoody gets heavy summer rain, so proper slope and subsurface drainage are non-negotiable. We've done this hundreds of times in DeKalb County and know exactly what works.
Absolutely. Unlike natural grass, synthetic turf thrives in partial to full shade. The shade from mature oaks is actually ideal for keeping the turf cooler in summer. We design around tree root zones to avoid damage during installation, and you'll have a usable, attractive pool deck whether the sun hits it or not.
Most residential pool decks take 2–4 days depending on size and base preparation. If we encounter tree roots or significant clay compaction near your home in 30338 or 30346, we adjust the timeline. We'll give you a clear estimate during the site visit and keep you updated throughout the process.
