Water Savings — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Dunwoody homeowners have been asking us the same question for years: how do I keep my pool area looking sharp without spending my entire summer watering? That's where artificial turf around your pool comes in. Think about it—you've got those clay-heavy soils here in DeKalb County, the afternoon shade creeping in from mature trees, and honestly, nobody wants to be out there fertilizing and reseeding every season just to have a decent deck surface. We've installed artificial pool turf in Georgetown, Winters Chapel, and all through Dunwoody Village, and the payoff is real. Your water bill drops noticeably (we're talking thousands of gallons per year), you're not fighting mud and dead spots anymore, and your pool area stays usable year-round without the maintenance headache. Families near Perimeter Mall and Brook Run Park have discovered that synthetic turf gives them that resort-style pool setting without the resort-style upkeep. It's genuinely one of the smartest upgrades we see in Dunwoody—especially for folks who want to enjoy their pools instead of maintaining them.
Dunwoody's got some quirks you need to know about before laying down turf around your pool. First, that DeKalb clay soil drains like a parking lot. Real natural grass struggles with it, which actually works in artificial turf's favor—you're not fighting moisture retention or fungal issues. Second, shade is real here. A lot of Dunwoody properties in Georgetown and Winters Chapel have mature trees that block direct sun for part of the day. That's perfect for turf, actually. No UV fade concerns, and you're not dealing with the scorching that makes some synthetic products look washed out. The one thing to watch: pool decks in these zip codes (30338, 30346, 30360) tend to sit on compacted soils with limited drainage underneath. We always recommend a proper base layer and drainage matting—it prevents water pooling under your turf after heavy rain, which you'll get plenty of in Georgia springs. Most Dunwoody lots are suburban-sized, so we're usually looking at 300–800 square feet around the pool. Installation takes a day or two, and we work around your existing deck, pavers, or concrete without tearing everything up.
Yes, it gets warm in direct afternoon sun, but most Dunwoody properties have shade coverage from mature trees. Even in full sun, modern pool turf systems have cooling technology built in, and water splashing from the pool keeps things cooler than you'd expect. Some homeowners add a lightweight shade umbrella or pergola over high-traffic areas. It's a non-issue for most families here.
Natural grass around a pool area needs watering 2–4 times per week during Georgia's warm months, easily 50+ gallons per week in 30338 and 30360 neighborhoods. Artificial turf needs zero watering. Over a six-month season, you're looking at 1,000+ gallons saved. That adds up on your DeKalb County water bill fast.
Most Dunwoody HOAs permit synthetic turf in pool deck areas specifically because it improves drainage and eliminates mud. We always recommend checking your CC&Rs first—they vary by neighborhood. We've worked with Georgetown and Winters Chapel HOAs before and can guide you through approval if needed.
Standard pool surround installation in Dunwoody takes one to two days depending on size and prep work. We absolutely work around existing pavers, concrete, and stone decking. No need to tear anything out. We handle the base prep and drainage setup so everything drains properly on those clay soils.
