New Construction — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Building a new home in Indian Hills, the Lassiter area, or Pope? One of the smartest moves you can make during construction is locking in artificial turf around your pool deck before the landscaping phase wraps up. Most homeowners in East Cobb don't realize how much easier it is to install pool-side turf during new construction—your lot is already being graded, soil is being managed, and contractors are on-site. Waiting until after you move in means extra disruption, higher costs, and months of dealing with worn-out sod that struggles in Cobb County's heavy clay soil. Artificial turf eliminates the clay problem entirely. Your pool area stays green year-round, never needs mowing, and handles the intense Georgia sun without browning out by August. We've installed hundreds of pool decks across East Cobb—everything from the established lots near Sewell Mill to newer builds in the neighborhoods around East Cobb Park. The families we work with choose turf because it's safe (no mud tracked into the house), it's low-maintenance, and it looks pristine whether you're hosting a summer cookout or just enjoying a quiet afternoon by the water.
East Cobb's landscape comes with specific challenges that artificial turf actually solves beautifully. The clay-heavy soil in Cobb County compacts hard and drains poorly—meaning real grass around pools turns into a mud pit within weeks of heavy use. Your deck becomes slippery and stains easily. Artificial turf eliminates that problem entirely. On the sun exposure side, most pool areas in the Lassiter and Pope neighborhoods get full southern and western exposure. Authentic Kentucky bluegrass and fescue simply can't sustain that kind of heat, especially during June through September. You'd be replacing sod every other year. With turf, you get that lush green without the seasonal dead zones. Installation during new construction is also smoother because your site is already being excavated and prepped. We can work alongside your builder's grading crew, ensure proper drainage underneath (critical in clay-heavy lots), and get everything finished before your landscaping final walk-through. For most East Cobb properties—whether you're in a gated community with HOA landscape guidelines or on an established lot—artificial turf meets or exceeds any homeowner association requirements and instantly increases curb appeal.
Quality pool-grade turf stays significantly cooler than concrete, asphalt, or pavers—especially important around pools where kids are running barefoot. East Cobb's summer sun is intense, but modern turf is engineered to reflect heat rather than absorb it. We also recommend a light-colored infill, which keeps surface temperatures down. You won't have the scorching experience you'd get from a real pool deck.
Clay drainage is exactly why we install a proper base layer during construction. We use a perforated sub-base that allows water to flow away from the turf surface, preventing pooling and mud issues. During new construction, your grading contractor can work with us to slope the deck slightly toward existing drainage. This is much easier to coordinate now than retrofitting later.
Install it during construction—seriously. We coordinate with your builder's timeline, and it's faster and cheaper than retrofitting. Your lot's already being worked on, and we can finish before your final walk-through. Waiting means disrupting your new landscaping and paying premium pricing for after-the-fact installation.
Quality turf lasts 12-15 years with proper maintenance in Georgia's climate. East Cobb homeowners get excellent longevity because pool decks aren't subject to heavy foot traffic like front yards. Regular rinsing to remove debris and occasional grooming keeps it looking new. We stand behind our installations with warranties covering UV fade and wear.
