New Construction — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Building a new pool in Jonesboro? You're probably already thinking about what goes around it—and honestly, that's the smart move. Artificial turf around a pool is one of those upgrades that sounds fancy but actually solves real problems for Clayton County homeowners. Think about it: regular grass around a pool in our humid south metro climate means constant mud, algae, and mowing schedules that don't match your summer entertaining. Plus, if you're in one of the neighborhoods near Downtown Jonesboro or closer to the Tara Boulevard corridor, you know our clay soil doesn't drain the way you'd want it to after a pool party. Artificial turf gives you a clean, safe deck surface that stays dry faster, doesn't track grass clippings into the water, and looks sharp year-round without the maintenance headache. Whether you're finishing a new construction pool or upgrading an existing one, the right turf choice makes the whole backyard feel intentional and ready to use.
Jonesboro sits on Clayton County clay, which is both a blessing and a challenge for pool landscaping. Natural grass around pools here tends to struggle with drainage and compaction, especially after heavy use or our typical summer thunderstorms. The clay base means water sits longer than you'd like, and that creates the perfect environment for algae bloom and slippery surfaces. Artificial turf eliminates that problem entirely—water drains through the backing, and you get a consistently firm, safe surface. Sun exposure varies across different neighborhoods; homes near Stately Oaks and the older established areas often have mature trees that create partial shade, while newer construction sites on Tara Boulevard tend to get more direct afternoon heat. Both situations work fine with modern artificial turf, though we'll help you choose a pile height and fiber style that handles whichever exposure your pool deck gets. Most Jonesboro pool decks range from 200 to 400 square feet, and installation typically takes one to two days depending on soil prep and existing hardscape.
Absolutely. Our south metro humidity and summer temperatures are exactly why pool turf works so well here. The backing system we use drains moisture quickly, so you don't get the soggy, algae-prone conditions you'd see with natural grass in Clayton County clay. The turf itself won't rot or develop mold—it's designed for wet environments. You'll stay safer and more comfortable around the water year-round.
In most cases, no—but we always assess your specific lot. If your pool deck slopes properly and you're not in a low-lying area prone to standing water, standard base prep is enough. For properties on heavier clay or in areas with poor natural drainage, we might recommend a perforated drain layer. We'll walk through this during the site visit and give you honest guidance.
Yes, and this is actually ideal. New construction pools often have bare or compacted soil around them. We can build your pool deck turf from scratch without removing existing grass or dealing with old sod. If you're in the early planning stages for a new home near Downtown or Tara Boulevard, we can coordinate timing with your builder to get it installed right after pool completion.
Most residential pool decks take one to two days. The actual turf installation is fast, but prep work—leveling, base material, addressing any drainage concerns with our Clayton County clay—takes the bulk of time. We'll give you a timeline during the estimate, and we're based about 35 minutes away, so scheduling is flexible.
