Recycled Materials — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Most Lilburn homeowners with pools spend summer weekends managing natural grass around their deck—mud tracked in after rain, bare patches from chlorine splash, constant mowing during the growing season. It's exhausting, especially in neighborhoods like Killian Hill where mature lots have odd corners and transition zones that grass struggles with anyway. Recycled artificial turf changes that equation entirely. You get a pool surround that stays green year-round, drains fast after storms, and won't degrade from chemical exposure or foot traffic. We've installed synthetic turf around dozens of pools in Lilburn and Gwinnett County, and the feedback is consistent: homeowners wish they'd done it sooner. The material we use incorporates post-consumer recycled content—old plastic bottles and worn-out synthetic fibers get a second life as your pool deck surface. That means you're getting durability without guilt. Installation takes a few days, not weeks. Drainage sits underneath, so standing water isn't a concern even during Gwinnett's heavy summer storms. And because it's turf, not concrete or pavers, it stays cooler underfoot on those 95-degree afternoons when the kids are running in and out of the pool.
Lilburn's terrain presents specific challenges for pool landscaping. The underlying Gwinnett clay soil drains slowly and compacts hard, which is exactly why synthetic turf makes sense poolside. Natural grass would struggle with the constant moisture, chemical runoff, and foot traffic—you'd end up with soggy, dead patches by mid-June. Our recycled synthetic material sits on a engineered base that channels water away from the pool structure and prevents the clay from getting waterlogged underneath. Sunlight varies significantly around Lilburn City Park and residential areas near Yellow River; some yards catch afternoon shade from mature oaks while others bake in full sun. The good news is quality artificial turf performs in both conditions—no fungal issues from shade, no bleaching concerns from UV exposure if the material is UV-stabilized, which ours is. Many Lilburn neighborhoods have HOA guidelines around landscaping, and synthetic turf typically qualifies as a maintained, attractive yard treatment. We recommend checking your specific covenant before installation, though most boards approve pool surrounds since they reduce lawn care runoff and chemical seepage. Pool deck turf usually requires 4–6 inches of compacted base, crushed stone drainage layer, and a perimeter edge to contain the infill. Our crews handle the site-specific grading to match your existing deck and slope water appropriately.
No. Recycled content in modern turf goes through the same UV stabilization and durability testing as new material. The fibers are reprocessed to meet performance standards. What you're getting is a more sustainable product without sacrificing lifespan. Around a pool, where chlorine and saltwater exposure is real, quality matters more than whether the base plastic is recycled or not. We use turf rated for chemical and UV resistance, recycled or not.
Clay compacts tight and sheds water, which is actually helpful for pool deck turf—you want water moving away from the pool structure, not settling underneath. We excavate, install a crushed stone base layer that percolates moisture, then lay landscape fabric and the turf system. This prevents the clay from becoming a sponge and keeps the deck stable year-round, even after heavy rain near Yellow River areas.
Turf can sit very close to the pool edge with proper edge banding or metal trim to contain infill particles and prevent migration into the water. We recommend a small transition zone—either pavers or a hardscape lip—mainly for safety and to minimize turf particles near the chemical system. Lilburn pools often have concrete decks that transition well to synthetic turf on the surrounding landscape.
Pricing depends on deck size, site conditions, and base prep needs. Lilburn lots vary; some have easy access and level terrain, others require grading work. Recycled turf costs similarly to virgin material. We provide on-site estimates that account for Gwinnett soil conditions and your specific pool layout. Most residential pool surrounds run in a predictable range once we see the space.
