How To Install — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Pool season in East Point hits different when you've got synthetic turf surrounding your deck. We work with homeowners all across Fulton County—from Downtown East Point near the MARTA station to the Jefferson Park area—and the story's always the same: real grass turns into a muddy mess around pools, especially with our South Fulton clay soil. That red clay holds water like nobody's business, and once kids start running in and out of the pool, you've got a slip hazard and dead patches within weeks. Artificial turf changes the game entirely. No more soggy ground, no chlorine burn, no constant maintenance while you're trying to actually enjoy your pool. We've installed hundreds of pool decks across the metro Atlanta area, and East Point's compact lots—especially those older neighborhoods—actually benefit most from synthetic solutions. You get more usable space, better drainage, and a clean look year-round. Whether you're in Jefferson Park with a smaller residential setup or closer to Camp Creek Marketplace where properties run tight, pool turf works. The install process is straightforward once you understand your soil and slope. Let's walk through what makes this work in your backyard.
East Point's clay-heavy soil is both a challenge and the reason artificial pool turf makes so much sense here. That South Fulton clay doesn't drain naturally—water pools and sits, which means around a pool deck, you're fighting constant moisture issues if you stick with grass. Our synthetic turf comes with proper drainage systems engineered specifically for high-moisture areas. We've learned through dozens of installs that your lot slope matters hugely in neighborhoods like Downtown East Point, where some properties sit lower than others. We assess drainage direction during the site visit and build the base pad accordingly—usually 4-6 inches of crushed stone or recycled asphalt, depending on your existing grade. Sun exposure varies significantly between tree-lined Jefferson Park and more open properties near Camp Creek. Some of our best-performing installations happen under partial shade because the turf stays cooler and doesn't dry out the infill as fast. We recommend staying away from the cheapest turf options if your pool gets heavy use—kids running, rough play, chlorine splash. Mid-range commercial-grade synthetics hold up better to UV and chemical exposure. Installation typically takes 2-4 days depending on lot size and base prep. Most East Point residential yards range 300-600 square feet around the pool—manageable for a quality install without needing extensive grading or drainage rework.
Absolutely. That clay doesn't drain on its own, so we excavate 4-6 inches, add crushed stone base, compact it, then lay landscape fabric before the turf. Without this step, moisture gets trapped underneath and you'll have soft spots and algae growth. We've done enough East Point installs to know exactly how deep to go based on your lot's water table and proximity to drainage areas.
You *can* DIY if you're comfortable with heavy digging and have the right tools, but most East Point homeowners find the base prep is the toughest part. Getting the grade right, compacting clay properly, and stretching turf without wrinkles requires experience. We handle the whole job in 2-4 days and warranty the seams and drainage for three years—peace of mind most people prefer.
Commercial-grade synthetics handle chlorine splash well because the turf fibers don't absorb chemicals like natural grass does. The infill (sand/rubber blend) drains through the drainage layer underneath, so chemicals don't accumulate. We recommend occasional rinsing with fresh water during heavy pool use, but that's it. Lower-quality turf does degrade faster, so material choice matters.
Site visit to final install usually takes 1-2 weeks depending on our schedule. The actual installation—base prep, turf laying, seam sealing—runs 2-4 days for most residential pools. We're based 30 minutes away in the metro area, so we can schedule your project without long delays. Weather rarely holds us up since we work year-round in Georgia.
