Zero Down — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Your pool is the centerpiece of summer in Dunwoody—whether you're near Georgetown, out by Winters Chapel, or in Dunwoody Village proper. The problem most homeowners run into is that natural grass around the pool deck turns into a mud pit within weeks. Between the chlorine splash, the foot traffic, and that heavy DeKalb clay underneath everything, you're basically fighting a losing battle. Artificial turf around your pool solves that. No more dead patches, no more soggy spots that breed mosquitoes, and no more tracking mud and grass clippings into your pool. We install pool turf that handles the chemical exposure, drains properly even in our humid Georgia summers, and looks sharp year-round without the maintenance headache. Most Dunwoody pools sit on quarter-acre to half-acre lots with mixed sun and shade—that's exactly the environment where artificial turf shines. You get a functional, attractive pool surround that your family can actually use without worrying about whether the grass is going to hold up.
Dunwoody's soil is predominantly DeKalb clay, which drains poorly and compacts easily—a real liability around pools where foot traffic is constant. Artificial turf eliminates that problem entirely. Most residential lots in the area are suburban-sized (not massive, not tiny), which means your pool surround is probably 200–400 square feet of deck space. Shade is another factor here; many properties in Georgetown and Winters Chapel have mature trees that block direct sun for part of the day. That's fine for turf installation, but it does mean we need to select a product with good UV stability and ensure drainage is top-notch since shaded areas stay damp longer. A few Dunwoody neighborhoods have HOA guidelines around pool landscaping—we've worked with those restrictions before and can guide you through approvals if needed. The key to a long-lasting installation near a pool is proper substrate prep (we handle the clay removal and base layer correctly) and choosing turf rated for chlorine and saltwater exposure. We don't cut corners on drainage either, because Atlanta's summer humidity means standing water can become a breeding ground fast.
Not if you install the right product. We use commercial-grade turf specifically rated for pool exposure—it resists chlorine, bromine, and saltwater degradation. Regular rinsing with your garden hose keeps chemical buildup minimal. Most of our Dunwoody pool installations last 12+ years without degradation from chemicals. The bigger enemy is poor drainage, which we design around from day one.
We remove the clay to proper depth and install a engineered base layer with perforated pipe running to a drainage point. DeKalb clay doesn't percolate, so we don't rely on it to absorb water. Instead, we channel it away. This is standard for Dunwoody pool installs and prevents the puddles and soft spots you'd get with natural grass.
Most pool turf projects in the area take 2–3 days from site prep to finish, depending on your lot size and existing landscaping. We're based about 28 minutes away and serve DeKalb County regularly, so scheduling is straightforward. We can often fit Dunwoody jobs in within 1–2 weeks of your consultation.
Some do, some don't—it depends on your specific neighborhood. We've installed turf in multiple HOA communities around Dunwoody and know how to navigate the approval process. Bring your HOA rules to your consultation, and we'll confirm whether artificial pool turf is allowed before moving forward.
