Drainage Solutions — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Pool season in Hiram runs long and hard, especially once you're settled into the Cedarcrest or Bill Arp areas where backyards are a real centerpiece of family life. The problem most homeowners run into isn't the pool itself—it's what happens around it. That red clay soil Paulding County is famous for? It doesn't drain worth a damn when you've got chlorinated water splashing out daily and kids tracking mud back inside. We've installed artificial turf around dozens of pools in this area, and the difference it makes is immediate. No more swampy deck, no more algae blooms in the landscaping, no more mud getting tracked through the house. Your pool surround becomes a low-maintenance, clean, usable space that actually improves your home's value. We're based just 25 minutes away in the area, so we know exactly how Hiram's weather and soil conditions affect pool landscapes. Let's talk about turning that wet, muddy problem zone into something your family will actually enjoy.
Paulding County clay is the real challenge around pools in Hiram. That heavy, dense soil doesn't shed water the way sandy soil does, so standing water becomes a headache—especially around pool decks where drainage matters. Artificial turf solves this in a way natural grass never can. Our systems include a robust drainage base that routes water away from the pool deck entirely, preventing the soggy, root-rotting mess that kills real grass within a season or two. Sun exposure varies depending on whether your property sits near the Silver Comet Trail corridor or deeper in the Cedarcrest neighborhoods where mature trees provide afternoon shade. That shade actually helps with chlorine breakdown and keeps the turf cooler underfoot in summer. Pool deck sizing in Hiram's neighborhoods typically runs 200–600 square feet, which is ideal for turf installation since you get full functionality without excessive material costs. We also work with any existing hardscaping—pavers, concrete, stone—so your new turf integrates seamlessly with what's already there. The suburban growth in this area means a lot of newer construction with tighter lot lines, so efficient drainage becomes even more important to prevent water issues spilling into neighbors' yards.
Yes. Our turf is chlorine-resistant and designed for pool environments. The key is the drainage layer underneath—water drains through immediately instead of pooling, so chemical concentration never builds up. Rinse the deck monthly during heavy pool season, and you're golden. We've done hundreds of pools in the Atlanta area with zero chlorine-related issues.
It's actually why you want turf around a pool. Clay doesn't drain, so you'd get mud within weeks of opening your pool. We excavate to proper depth, compact the base, then install a 4–6 inch drainage stone layer that channels water away entirely. Your deck stays dry and functional all season.
Existing pool is fine. We work around it. The pool stays full during installation—we just section off the work area and install turf around the perimeter. Total turnaround for a typical Hiram deck is 2–4 days depending on size and any hardscaping removals.
Turf runs 30–40% less than poured concrete and about the same as basic pavers, but with zero maintenance and no heat reflection. In summer, turf stays 20–30 degrees cooler underfoot than concrete. Over 10 years, turf wins on cost and comfort.
