Satisfaction Guarantee — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Your backyard pool deserves a surface that actually holds up to Georgia summers—not one that turns into a muddy mess every time it rains. That's where artificial turf around your pool comes in, especially here in Forest Park where that red clay soil can wreak havoc on natural grass and drainage. We've installed pool turf in the Forest Parkway area and all through Clayton County, and we've seen firsthand how the right synthetic surface transforms a pool area from "needs constant maintenance" to "ready for guests this weekend." Pool turf isn't just about looks either. With the humidity we get down here and those afternoon thunderstorms that roll through, you need something that won't compact, won't create algae-prone puddles, and won't require you to replant every season. Natural grass around a busy pool deck gets torn up fast. Our pool-specific turf products are designed to drain quickly, stay cool underfoot, and hold their color through chlorine splashes and heavy foot traffic. We're 35 minutes from your Forest Park home, which means when you call us for a consultation, we're not traveling an hour across Atlanta traffic to get to you. We'll walk your pool area, talk about your drainage situation (especially important with that clay-heavy soil), and show you exactly what a finished install looks like. Your satisfaction matters to us—that's not marketing speak, that's how we've built this business.
Forest Park's combination of urban-industrial landscape and South metro red clay creates some unique challenges for pool areas. That clay soil drains poorly naturally, so standing water around your pool deck isn't just an aesthetic problem—it's a maintenance nightmare. When we install artificial turf around pools in this area, we build in proper base layers and perforated drainage systems specifically to handle the rainfall you get here. The neighborhoods along Forest Parkway and toward the Lake City border tend to have moderate-sized residential lots, which means your pool deck doesn't need industrial-grade drainage—but it does need to work. Summer sun exposure varies depending on tree coverage, and many Forest Park properties have mature oaks that create dappled shade. We design turf for your specific sun pattern because artificial grass responds differently in full sun versus partial shade areas. Your turf choice also matters around pool chemistry—chlorine and salt water both affect synthetic materials, so we recommend products rated for pool-side installation rather than standard residential turf. HOA rules in Forest Park neighborhoods sometimes restrict certain landscape changes, so we always verify restrictions before design work. The good news: synthetic turf almost always gets approved where natural grass wouldn't because it's low-maintenance and keeps that maintained appearance year-round.
Absolutely. That red clay is actually the main reason pool turf makes sense here. We excavate the clay to proper depth, add a crushed stone base layer for drainage, then install perforated underlayment before the turf goes down. Without that base work, water just sits on top of clay and creates the exact puddle problem you're trying to solve. We've done this installation method throughout Clayton County and it handles our summer rain patterns perfectly.
Typical residential pool deck installation—say 300–500 square feet around your pool—takes us 2–3 days depending on site prep complexity. If there's old concrete removal or significant drainage work, add a day. We schedule jobs when you need them done, and since we're local (35 minutes away), we're not adding travel delays to your timeline. Most Forest Park homeowners have us finished before the next weekend.
Pool-rated artificial turf is designed to handle chlorine exposure, salt water, and sunscreen without breaking down. Standard residential turf isn't. We install products specifically formulated for pool environments, and they're backed by warranties that account for chemical exposure. We'll also recommend occasional rinsing during heavy-use periods to keep buildup minimal, but damage from chlorine itself isn't a concern with the right material.
That's actually our specialty. If your pool deck area floods or stays wet for days after rain, we fix the underlying drainage before installing turf. We're not just laying new material over a bad situation. In Forest Park's clay soil, proper grading and base preparation are half the installation. That's why we guarantee your turf will function correctly—we're solving the root problem, not masking it.
