Pool Deck Edge — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Lake Chatuge's shoreline and Brasstown Bald's proximity make Hiawassee a stunning place to own a home—but that mountain terrain and lake-influenced humidity create real challenges for traditional pool decks. We've installed artificial turf around dozens of pools in Towns County, and here's what we know: wooden decks rot in this climate, concrete cracks under freeze-thaw cycles, and natural grass turns into a muddy mess around high-traffic pool areas. Synthetic turf solves all three problems. It drains fast in our heavy mountain rainfall, stays cool underfoot even on hot summer days, and looks pristine year-round without the constant maintenance that lake-area properties demand. Whether you're in Downtown Hiawassee or out near the Lake Chatuge neighborhoods, a properly installed pool-deck turf system protects your investment and gives you a usable outdoor space that actually handles our climate. We handle the full install—from site prep to drainage—and we've learned exactly how to work with north Georgia's rocky soil.
Hiawassee sits in classic north Georgia mountain country, which means your soil is likely acidic, rocky, and prone to shifting during freeze cycles. Around pools, that matters because poor drainage leads to standing water, algae growth, and accelerated turf deterioration. We always amend the base layer with engineered stone and perforated underlayment to handle the heavy rainfall that rolls down from Brasstown Bald. Sun exposure varies dramatically depending on where your property sits—lakeside homes get intense afternoon sun reflecting off the water, while homes tucked into the hills may sit in partial shade. We assess your specific microclimate because turf choice depends on it. Most Hiawassee pool decks we install range from 400 to 800 square feet; the lake-area neighborhoods tend toward larger properties with mature trees, which actually helps reduce UV stress on synthetic materials. Towns County doesn't have strict HOA landscape rules in most areas, but if you're in a gated community near Lake Chatuge, we'll verify any restrictions before we start. One thing unique to this elevation: our winters are cold enough that water can pool and freeze on poorly sloped decks. We always install with a minimum 1% slope toward drainage channels to prevent ice buildup.
Yes. We use commercial-grade synthetic with UV stabilizers rated for our climate. The key is proper base prep and drainage—which is non-negotiable at this elevation. Standing water in winter freezes and can damage the turf layer, so we slope every deck and install perforated underpads. In 10+ years of installations around Hiawassee and Towns County, we haven't seen premature failure on properly installed systems.
Most Hiawassee pool decks run between $3,500 and $7,000 installed, depending on square footage, site prep complexity, and whether we're working around existing concrete or raw soil. Mountain properties sometimes need extra grading work, which affects price. We provide a free on-site estimate and break down the material and labor costs clearly.
Absolutely. The synthetic material itself is inert and pool-safe. What matters is your drainage design—we make sure runoff flows toward proper drainage, not directly into the lake. If your property slopes toward the water, we engineer the slope and base to manage water appropriately and meet any local stormwater expectations.
We come to you. Hiawassee is about two hours from our HQ, and we handle installations throughout north Georgia, including Towns County. You don't travel—we show up, assess your pool deck, provide a quote, and handle the full installation. Most projects take 2–3 days.
