Backyard — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Your backyard pool is the centerpiece of summer in Hiram—a place where the Bill Arp neighborhood gathers for cookouts, where kids splash through hot afternoons, and where you finally use that patio furniture. Problem is, the area around your pool deck gets torn up fast. Real grass can't handle the chlorine splash, foot traffic, and our heavy Paulding County clay soil just doesn't drain well enough to keep a healthy lawn alive near pool edges. That's where artificial turf changes everything. Unlike sod that turns brown and muddy, synthetic pool turf stays green year-round, drains instantly, and won't track dirt or algae into your pool. We've installed pool-side turf throughout the Cedarcrest area and beyond—homeowners love how it transforms wet, slippery concrete decks into soft, safe spaces where kids can run barefoot. No more mud on the deck. No more staining. Just a clean, low-maintenance surface that looks sharp and performs even better. We're based just 25 minutes from your Hiram home, so we know exactly how Georgia sun and our local soil behave.
Hiram's clay-heavy soil is both a blessing and a challenge. While it holds nutrients well for natural grass, it drains poorly—which is exactly why pool areas flood and become slippery after rain. Artificial turf solves this by sitting on a permeable base layer that channels water away fast, even in our heavy afternoon thunderstorms. Sun exposure varies around Hiram. Homes closer to Silver Comet Trail or in shaded lots near mature oaks will see less UV stress on synthetic fibers, while properties in the open Cedarcrest area get intense afternoon heat. We size drainage systems accordingly—bigger base preparation in shadier zones, reinforced backing in high-sun areas. Most Paulding County pools sit on standard residential lots (quarter to half-acre), so we typically work with 200–400 square feet of pool-adjacent turf. Installation requires leveling around existing concrete decks and ensuring slopes that won't trap water. HOA communities in Hiram often have rules about turf quality—we use premium, non-reflective blades that meet neighborhood standards and don't look plastic from street view. Our local crews know how to work around underground utilities common to this area and schedule around the spring/summer pool season.
In peak summer, yes—synthetic fibers can reach 140–150°F in direct sun, similar to dark asphalt. We recommend choosing lighter-colored turf blends or installing a small shade structure (pergola or umbrella) in high-traffic zones. Many Cedarcrest homeowners add a few pavers or stepping stones near entry points. Water misters also help cool the surface during the hottest part of the day.
Absolutely. Clay doesn't drain naturally, so we excavate 4–6 inches and install a gravel base layer plus perforated underlayment. This prevents standing water and mold—critical in humid Georgia summers. We've done hundreds of Hiram installs this way, and homeowners see zero pooling after rain.
Synthetic turf is chlorine-resistant and won't yellow or degrade from splashes. However, heavy saltwater (if you use salt chlorine generators) needs drainage. Our installation accounts for this by sloping away from pool edges and using a subsurface drain that carries salt-treated water into a designated area. Rinse the turf occasionally with fresh water during peak summer pool use.
A 300–400 square foot pool deck usually takes 2–3 days: day one for base prep and gravel, day two for underlayment and turf install, day three for finishing. We schedule around your pool season. Since we're 25 minutes away, we can often complete jobs before you'd normally open the pool in spring.
