New Construction Home — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Building a new home in Jasper means you're thinking about every detail—from the foundation to the finishes. Your backyard should be no exception, especially if you're planning a pool area that your family will actually use year-round. Here's the thing: Georgia's clay-heavy soil in Pickens County, combined with our unpredictable spring rains and summer heat, can turn a natural grass pool deck into a muddy, slippery mess or a patchy eyesore within a season. Artificial turf solves that problem entirely. We've installed premium pool-side turf for dozens of new construction homes around Downtown Jasper and the Marble Hill area, and the difference is immediate. No more bare spots from chlorine splash. No more grass clippings floating in your pool. No tracking mud through the house after a day of swimming. Your new deck stays clean, stays safe, and looks pristine from spring through fall. Unlike temporary solutions, quality artificial turf is built into your landscape plan from day one—and when you're already coordinating concrete, decking, and landscaping during construction, now is the time to get it right.
Jasper's terrain comes with some specific challenges that new homeowners often underestimate. The marble subgrade and dense clay soil we have up here in Pickens County means drainage isn't automatic—water sits, compacts, and can create soft spots under natural grass. Artificial turf, by contrast, requires a proper base layer that we customize for your site. We typically install a crushed stone and sand foundation that works with Jasper's soil conditions, not against them. Sun exposure varies depending on whether your pool is nestled near the tree cover around Talking Rock Creek or open to the south-facing slopes common in this area. Both situations work fine with turf, but they inform our product selection. Full-sun pools benefit from our heat-reflective fibers; shaded pools allow us to go with denser pile heights for a more luxe feel. One thing we always discuss with new construction clients: most HOA guidelines in the Downtown Jasper neighborhoods allow artificial turf without restriction, but we verify your specific deed restrictions early. Pool deck sizing in Jasper typically runs 12×16 to 16×24 feet, which is standard for our installations. The elevation and clay base mean we're meticulous about perimeter edging and sub-base compaction—details that prevent shifting as the mountain clay settles over the first year after construction.
Absolutely. Our pool-grade turf is specifically engineered to resist chlorine degradation and fading from Pickens County's intense summer sun. The fibers won't yellow, break down, or develop that plastic smell some cheaper alternatives get. We've tested these materials in conditions hotter and more chemically aggressive than typical residential pools. Your turf will hold up beautifully for 10+ years with basic maintenance.
Yes—and it's actually ideal timing. We coordinate with your builder to install the sub-base after concrete work but before final grading. This ensures proper drainage integration with your pool surround and prevents settling issues common to Pickens County's clay soil. We typically schedule installation in the final 2–3 weeks of exterior work.
We don't rely on natural percolation. Our process includes a 4–6 inch engineered base of crushed stone and drainage rock, sloped toward perimeter drains or your existing pool surround system. This accounts for Pickens County's heavy clay and prevents the soft, soggy spots that plague natural grass pools in this area.
Most are fine with it, but deed restrictions vary. We review your neighborhood guidelines during the initial consultation—it takes 10 minutes and saves headaches later. In our experience, Jasper-area HOAs typically approve pool-side turf without issue since it's functional, not cosmetic.
