Starter Home — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Poolside living in Hiram is all about making the most of your outdoor space—especially when you've got clay soil that turns into a muddy mess after a good rain. We've installed artificial turf around pools in the Cedarcrest and Bill Arp areas for years now, and the transformation is always the same: homeowners go from managing soggy grass clippings and slippery decking to having a clean, safe, low-maintenance pool area they actually want to use. Real grass around a pool means constant upkeep, chemical exposure from chlorine, and a yard that looks beat up by mid-summer. Artificial turf changes that equation entirely. It drains instantly, won't track mud into your home, and gives you that manicured look without the headaches. If you're a starter-home owner in Hiram trying to boost your property's appeal and usability, a quality pool surround is one of the smartest upgrades you can make. We're just 25 minutes away, so we know exactly what Paulding County yards face—from the heavy clay underneath to the summer heat that beats down on exposed decking. Let's talk about turning your backyard into the gathering spot your family actually wants to spend time in.
Hiram's clay-heavy soil is a game-changer when you're thinking about artificial turf near a pool. That dense clay means water doesn't permeate naturally, so proper drainage underneath your new turf is non-negotiable. We always install a quality base layer to ensure water doesn't pool under the synthetic surface—that's especially critical in the Cedarcrest and Bill Arp neighborhoods where properties tend to have moderate slopes. Sun exposure varies significantly depending on whether mature oaks are shading your pool deck. Summer afternoons here get hot, and while artificial turf won't burn your feet the way concrete does, we recommend lighter backing colors for areas that get full afternoon sun exposure. Most Hiram homes we work with have yard sizes between a quarter and half acre, which means pool surrounds are typically 300–600 square feet of turf. If you're part of an HOA community, check your covenants first—some have specific rules about turf colors or material types, though most allow it readily. Installation usually takes 2–3 days depending on site prep and the amount of existing concrete or decking removal needed. We bring equipment from our shop and handle all hauling, so your property stays manageable throughout.
Absolutely. Our turf is designed to resist chlorine, salt, and UV exposure without fading or breaking down. We've installed it around dozens of pools in the area, and homeowners rinse it occasionally—especially after heavy pool use—to minimize salt buildup. It's one of the biggest advantages over real grass, which would yellow and thin out fast.
We excavate and prep the base with a permeable underlayment and engineered drainage system that directs water away from the pool area and toward your yard's natural drainage. Clay soil requires extra attention, which is why we don't cut corners on base prep. Proper installation means no standing water or soggy spots.
Yes—shade is actually an advantage. Less direct sunlight means the turf stays cooler and requires less maintenance. Cedarcrest and Bill Arp properties often have established oaks, and we've installed plenty of pool turf under partial shade. Just keep debris cleared in fall and you're golden.
Most residential pool surrounds in the 30141 area run between $2,500–$5,500 depending on square footage, base prep complexity, and whether you're replacing concrete. We'll walk your property, assess drainage needs, and give you a transparent quote with no surprises.
