Outdoor Kitchen — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Your backyard pool area in Griffin doesn't have to be a mud pit every time it rains. We've installed artificial turf around pools throughout Spalding County—from homes near the UGA Griffin campus all the way down to the neighborhoods around Downtown Griffin—and we know exactly what works in our clay-heavy soil and humid summers. Natural grass around a pool deck is honestly a losing battle. Between the constant foot traffic, chlorine splashes, and our Georgia heat, you're either fighting brown patches or dealing with slippery algae growth. Artificial turf solves that. It stays green year-round, drains properly (which matters when you're dealing with Spalding County clay underneath), and gives you a clean, usable space the moment it's installed. If you've been thinking about a pool renovation or finally want to make your outdoor kitchen and pool area feel like an actual destination instead of a maintenance headache, pool turf is one of the smartest upgrades you can make. We handle the entire process—site prep, drainage, installation—so you're not stuck dealing with contractors from out of town.
Griffin sits on dense Spalding County clay, which is both a challenge and an opportunity for pool-area turf. That clay doesn't drain on its own, so proper base preparation is non-negotiable. We install a perforated drainage layer under the turf to handle runoff from both pool splash zones and our frequent afternoon thunderstorms. Sun exposure varies significantly depending on whether your property is in one of the older neighborhoods near Downtown Griffin or on the outskirts—some lots have mature oak coverage, others get full afternoon sun. We assess your specific microclimate during the site visit. The turf we use for pool areas is engineered to handle chlorine and salt water without breaking down, and it's textured to stay slip-resistant even when wet. Most Griffin homes we work with have quarter-acre to half-acre lots, which means a typical pool surround is 800–1,500 square feet. Installation usually takes 2–3 days depending on how much site prep your existing soil needs. Since we're based about 55 minutes away, we schedule Griffin jobs efficiently and bring everything we need in one trip.
Yes, absolutely. Pool-grade artificial turf is specifically manufactured to resist chlorine, salt, and UV damage. The backing and infill we use won't degrade from regular chemical exposure. That said, we still recommend rinsing heavily chlorinated areas with fresh water occasionally—not because the turf is harmed, but to keep the infill clean and the surface performing well. In Griffin's heat and humidity, a quick rinse also prevents any odor buildup in summer.
Clay doesn't drain naturally, so we don't rely on it. We install a full perforated base layer that sits directly on top of your clay soil. Water from the pool deck and our Georgia storms drains through the turf and base layer into that perforated system, which channels it away from the pool area. Proper grading during installation ensures water never pools or creates soft spots around your deck.
Either one works. We do tons of retrofit jobs where homeowners are replacing old, worn-out grass or concrete decking around existing pools. The main thing is making sure the pool structure isn't actively leaking—we can work around existing pools without any issues. Most Griffin installations take a couple days and don't interfere with normal pool use.
Yes. Pool-grade turf is non-toxic and soft underfoot. Kids won't get splinters or scraped up the way they might on concrete, and pets can safely use the area. The turf drains quickly, so it won't hold standing water where mosquitoes could breed—which is especially important in Spalding County's humid summers.
