Side Yard — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
You've probably noticed the red clay problem around Kennesaw—it stains everything, holds water like a sponge during our humid summers, and turns into slop after a rain. That's exactly why pool-side turf has become such a smart move for families in Legacy Park, Stilesboro, and Due West. Instead of tracking that clay mess through your house every time someone comes in from the pool, artificial turf gives you a clean, dry surface that's ready to use within minutes of the last swimmer getting out. We've installed hundreds of poolside systems right here in Cobb County, and we've learned what actually works in our climate. With nearly 80 days a year hitting 90 degrees or hotter, you need turf that won't bake, won't fade, and won't become a slip hazard when wet. The neighborhoods around Kennesaw Mountain and Town Center at Cobb tend to have those smaller to mid-sized side yards—exactly where pool turf makes the biggest impact. You get the functionality of a deck without the concrete heat, the durability without the maintenance headaches, and the look that actually complements Georgia homes. Since we're based right here in Kennesaw, we're not driving in from somewhere else—we understand the specific challenges your yard faces.
Cobb County red clay is beautiful when it's dry and brutal when it's wet. Around most Kennesaw properties, that heavy clay base means water doesn't drain naturally, so whatever sits on your yard tends to stay there. For pool turf installation, we account for this by adding proper base layers and drainage solutions—otherwise you'll end up with standing water underneath, which defeats the purpose. Our heat load is real too. When the Georgia sun beats down on your yard 78+ days a year, standard synthetic turf can get uncomfortably hot underfoot. We specify cooler-performing products and often recommend lighter infill options for poolside applications. The neighborhoods here—Legacy Park especially—tend to have HOA guidelines worth checking before installation, so we always coordinate with your deed restrictions. Side-yard installs are our bread and butter in Kennesaw because most lots aren't massive. We've gotten very efficient at maximizing usable space while maintaining proper transitions from pool decking to the turf edge. The combination of intense sun, humidity that lingers even after rain, and that stubborn red clay means your pool area needs a system designed specifically for this region, not a one-size-fits-all solution.
It can if you choose the wrong product. We spec cooler-performing turfs and lighter infills for poolside areas, specifically because of those 90+ degree days we get. The turf will be warmer than shaded grass elsewhere, but it stays manageable—certainly cooler than concrete or a traditional deck. We've had clients in Legacy Park and Due West report comfortable barefoot use even mid-afternoon.
Our heavy Cobb County clay drains poorly naturally, so we engineer the base to compensate. We add perforated layers and proper slope to prevent water pooling under the turf. Without this, you'd trap moisture underneath, which creates problems. We've learned the exact specs that work in Kennesaw's soil conditions over years of local installations.
Absolutely. Many Kennesaw neighborhoods, including parts of Legacy Park and Stilesboro, have landscape guidelines in their deeds. Most HOAs approve artificial turf—it actually looks cleaner than struggling natural grass—but you should verify color, pile height, and drainage requirements first. We can guide you through the process.
Side-yard projects typically run between $2,500 and $6,000 depending on square footage and site conditions. Kennesaw yards vary in size, but most side yards fall in the 200–400 sq ft range.
