Side Yard — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Your side yard in Jonesboro doesn't have to stay bare or patchy anymore. A lot of homeowners around Downtown Jonesboro and the Tara Boulevard area ask us the same question: "Can I really put artificial turf next to my pool?" The answer is absolutely yes—and honestly, it's one of the smartest upgrades you can make if you've got kids, pets, or just want a low-maintenance spot where family gathers. Pool-side turf gives you that lush, finished look without the mud, algae tracking, or constant watering that real grass demands in our Clayton County clay soil. Plus, you're creating a safe, slip-resistant surface that stays cool underfoot and won't turn into a swamp during our humid Georgia summers. We've installed synthetic turf around pools throughout the south metro area, and the transformation is always dramatic. Your side yard becomes usable space instead of a problem area—perfect for lounging, games, or just having somewhere clean to walk after you get out of the water.
Jonesboro's Clayton County clay is dense and doesn't drain like sandy soils do, which actually works in your favor when you're installing pool-side turf. Real grass struggles in that clay, especially in shaded side yards where sun exposure is limited. Artificial turf eliminates drainage headaches entirely. You'll want to think about which direction your side yard faces—if it gets afternoon sun coming off the pool, we'll recommend a turf blend that resists fading and heat reflection. The humidity around Jonesboro and the south metro means algae and mold can develop on improperly installed turf, so base preparation is critical. We use perforated underlayment and slope grading to move water away from pool equipment and toward your yard's natural drainage. Side yards in neighborhoods like Tara Boulevard tend to be narrower, which means we're often working in tight spaces around existing fencing, pools, and utility lines. That's actually where our crew excels—precise installation in constrained areas. HOA communities around Downtown Jonesboro sometimes have landscaping guidelines, so we always confirm your local rules before we break ground.
Not with modern pool-rated turf. We install synthetic grass with a textured, open-weave backing that drains water quickly and provides grip even when wet. Jonesboro's humidity means your pool area will see splash and misting, so we specifically choose turf products engineered for poolside use—they won't become a safety hazard like some cheaper synthetic options.
Yes. That dense clay soil means water doesn't drain naturally, so we grade your side yard to slope away from the pool and install a robust base layer. Without proper drainage work, water pools under the turf and causes problems. Our crews in the Jonesboro area always account for Clayton County soil conditions from the start.
A typical side-yard installation around Jonesboro takes 2-4 days depending on yard size and base prep needed. If we're working around existing pool equipment, fencing, or trees, that might extend the timeline slightly. We'll give you a firm schedule during the estimate.
Absolutely. Many side yards between houses and next to pools are shaded, especially in established Jonesboro neighborhoods. We offer turf blends rated for shade that won't fade or develop mold issues. The key is choosing the right product, which we do during your consultation.
