How To Install — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Pool season in Kennesaw runs hot and long—we're talking 78 days a year above 90°F, which means your backyard gets serious use from late spring through early fall. If you've got a pool in Legacy Park, Stilesboro, or anywhere around Due West, you already know how quickly regular grass turns into mud and bare patches around the deck and shallow end. That's where pool turf comes in. Unlike standard lawn grass, artificial turf designed for pool areas handles chlorine, constant foot traffic, and wet conditions without degrading or leaving stains on your deck. We've installed hundreds of pool-side setups across Kennesaw's neighborhoods, and the difference it makes is immediate—no more slippery algae-covered concrete, no bare spots after a season, and zero maintenance during those brutal summer months when you'd rather be swimming than mowing. Since we're right here in Kennesaw, we understand the specific challenges our red clay soil and intense heat create for outdoor living spaces. Pool turf transforms your backyard from a maintenance headache into a safe, attractive gathering spot that actually improves your pool experience.
Kennesaw's heavy Cobb County red clay presents a unique challenge for any outdoor installation, including pool turf. That clay base means drainage is critical—standing water around your pool area isn't just unsightly, it's a slip hazard. We typically excavate and add a perforated base layer to ensure water flows through instead of pooling on top. The intense summer heat (those 78-plus days above 90°F) means your turf needs to be UV-stable and heat-resistant; cheaper alternatives will fade and become brittle by mid-July. Most Kennesaw pools sit in yards ranging from quarter-acre to half-acre lots, so we're usually working with defined spaces around the deck rather than vast lawns. This actually works in your favor—pool turf installation is faster and more affordable when you're treating a concentrated area. HOA communities like Legacy Park have specific landscaping guidelines, so we always verify requirements before breaking ground. The wet, chlorinated environment also demands turf with antimicrobial properties to resist mold and mildew growth during our humid summers. Shade from mature oak trees is common in Due West and surrounding neighborhoods, which reduces UV stress but increases drainage importance.
Not if you choose pool-grade turf with antimicrobial backing. Standard landscape turf can degrade under constant chlorine exposure, but we install specialized materials rated for pool environments. The turf itself won't stain or break down, though you'll want to rinse it occasionally to remove chlorine buildup and keep it fresh-looking year-round.
Red clay doesn't drain naturally, so we excavate the base, compact it, and install a perforated underdrainage layer before laying turf. This prevents puddles around your pool deck—especially important during Kennesaw's humid summers when moisture becomes a mold risk. Proper base prep is the difference between a turf installation that lasts 10+ years and one that fails in three.
DIY pool turf is doable if you're comfortable with excavation and base prep, but Kennesaw's clay soil makes it tricky. You'll need to rent equipment, purchase proper drainage materials, and ensure slopes are correct. Most homeowners save time and money hiring us—we handle permitting, know local soil conditions, and guarantee the installation.
Cost depends on your deck size, existing conditions, and drainage needs. Most Kennesaw residential pools range from $2,500 to $6,000 installed. Since we're headquartered right here, there's no travel markup—we'll visit your property in Legacy Park or Stilesboro and provide a free estimate.
