Fixer Upper — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Your pool area in Hiawassee deserves better than patchy grass that won't survive our mountain winters. That's where artificial turf comes in—especially if you're working with a fixer-upper property near Lake Chatuge or anywhere in Downtown Hiawassee. We've installed plenty of pool decks across Towns County, and the difference is immediate. No more muddy footprints tracked into the house. No more bare spots where the chlorine kills everything. No more fighting our North Georgia clay soil just to have something green around your water feature. Artificial turf gives you a clean, safe deck that drains properly and looks sharp year-round, whether your pool gets full sun exposure or sits in the shadow of the surrounding ridges. If you're renovating an older property—and let's be honest, a lot of Hiawassee homes are charming fixer-uppers—pool turf is one of the smartest upgrades you can make. It's low-maintenance, pet-friendly if you've got dogs running around, and it solves drainage problems that natural grass simply can't handle in this climate. We handle the whole process, from site prep to installation, and we know exactly how to work with the terrain and soil conditions you've got here in the Brasstown Bald area.
Hiawassee sits at elevation with clay-heavy soil that doesn't drain like you'd want it to around a pool. When rain comes off Lake Chatuge or rolls down from Brasstown Bald proximity, water pools—literally. Natural grass struggles, and you end up with swampy patches or erosion. Artificial turf with proper base preparation solves this completely. Our installation includes a gravel and sand base designed specifically for the moisture patterns we see in Towns County. Sun exposure varies wildly here depending on which ridge your property sits on and whether you're in the Downtown area or the lake side. We assess your specific microclimate during the site visit because shade patterns shift seasonally around the water. Most pool decks in Hiawassee range from 200 to 800 square feet—smaller than suburban Atlanta properties but still substantial enough to make a real impact on your property's usability. We don't see strict HOA regulations in unincorporated Towns County the way you'd find in some areas, but if your fixer-upper is part of a lakeside community, we'll verify any landscape guidelines before we start. Mountain soil compacts differently than piedmont clay, so our prep work accounts for settling and freeze-thaw cycles common to our elevation.
Absolutely. Our turf and base system are designed specifically for mountain climates. The gravel foundation we install allows the ground to expand and contract through winter without buckling the turf or causing drainage problems. We've worked through multiple seasons in the Brasstown Bald area, and our installations hold up perfectly through ice, snow, and spring thaw.
That's the whole point. We build in a proper slope and perforated base layer during installation. Water drains through the turf backing and into the gravel foundation instead of pooling on the surface or creating muddy areas. For fixer-uppers with existing drainage issues, this is often the best solution we can offer around a pool deck.
Most residential pool decks take 2–4 days from site prep to final install, depending on size and existing conditions. We're about 110 minutes from Hiawassee, so we schedule projects efficiently. If your fixer-upper needs grading work or drainage correction first, we'll give you a realistic timeline during the free consultation.
DIY is tempting, but pool areas demand precision—especially with drainage and slope. Our crews understand how water behaves on mountain properties in Towns County. Mistakes in base prep or slope mean water damage, shifting, or premature wear. For a fixer-upper investment, professional installation pays for itself in longevity.
