Vs Concrete — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Pool season in Jonesboro doesn't last year-round, but your pool deck should look amazing whenever you're using it. Here's the thing: concrete around a pool gets slippery, heats up like a skillet in our Georgia summers, and cracks over time from the freeze-thaw cycles we get in Clayton County. Artificial turf solves all three problems at once. You get a soft, safe surface that stays cool underfoot, never needs resealing, and actually looks better than bare concrete after just one season. Families in the Tara Boulevard area and Downtown Jonesboro neighborhoods have been making this switch, especially homeowners who got tired of power-washing concrete stains or watching their kids slip around in wet flip-flops. The install is straightforward—we handle everything from base prep to drainage—and you're looking at a surface that'll outlast three generations of summer parties. No algae, no moss, no maintenance headaches.
Jonesboro sits on Clayton County's clay-heavy soil, which means natural drainage around your pool isn't great. That's actually why artificial turf shines here. We install a proper base layer and perforated underlay so water drains away from your pool deck instead of pooling on the surface or settling underneath. The clay also means concrete cracks faster than it would in sandier counties—temperature swings work concrete hard, and our humid summers followed by drier winters take a toll. Turf doesn't care about seasonal movement. Sun exposure varies depending on whether you're near Downtown Jonesboro or further out toward the Tara Boulevard developments, but we size your turf pile and infill specifically for full-sun pool areas. Most residential pools in this area sit on lots between a quarter and half-acre, so we're usually working with deck spaces that are 200 to 400 square feet—totally manageable, and the investment pays off fast compared to concrete resurfacing.
Not with the right product. We use 65-ounce turf with cooling technology—it stays about 15–20 degrees cooler than concrete on those 90-degree July days Clayton County gets. The infill we choose matters too. Some installers use old-school rubber crumb; we go with cooler alternatives that actually reflect heat. Your kids won't burn their feet.
Absolutely. We remove the top layer of clay, add a compacted rock base for drainage, then lay permeable underlayment before the turf goes down. Jonesboro's soil drains poorly naturally, so we engineer around it. Without that step, you'd get water sitting under the turf after rain or pool splashes, which kills the backing. It's the difference between a five-year turf and a fifteen-year turf.
Humidity in south metro Atlanta can be brutal, but artificial turf doesn't mold or mildew like natural grass would. We choose a turf backing with anti-microbial properties. You rinse it down occasionally to keep the infill settled, but that's it. No fungal treatments, no algae scrubbing—just occasional cleanup.
DIY looks cheap and fails fast, especially with our clay soil. Base prep is everything. We've fixed plenty of botched installs where the base wasn't compacted properly—water migrates, turf shifts, and you're pulling it out two years later. Professional installation handles the engineering so your turf lasts.
