New Construction Home — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Building a new home in Lithia Springs? That pool area is going to be the centerpiece of your backyard—and choosing the right surface matters more than you'd think. Artificial turf around your pool deck solves problems that real grass simply can't handle in our Georgia climate. Between the humidity, the splash zone, and the foot traffic from your family and friends, natural grass gets beaten up fast. Plus, with Sweetwater Creek State Park right in our backyard and the clay-heavy soil that characterizes this part of Douglas County, drainage becomes a real issue if you're not strategic about landscaping. Artificial pool turf handles all of that. It drains properly, stays green year-round regardless of sun exposure, and never turns into a muddy mess during our wet springs. For new construction specifically, you've got a window of opportunity to plan this the right way—before the patio's poured and the landscape's locked in. We've installed hundreds of pool turfs across the Atlanta area, and the homes here in Lithia Springs benefit from having a team just 25 minutes away who understands exactly what works in this neighborhood. Your pool surround deserves to look polished and function flawlessly, and artificial turf delivers both without the headaches.
Lithia Springs sits on that challenging Georgia red clay that holds moisture—great for the creek ecosystem near Sweetwater, not so great for drainage around a pool. Real grass struggles here because water pools up instead of soaking through, and shade patterns in this area vary wildly depending on where your property sits relative to the tree canopy. Some yards here are heavily shaded, others get brutal afternoon sun. Artificial turf adapts to both without the thin, dead-grass patches you'd see in real lawns. Most homes in the Lithia Springs community have decent-sized yards, which means you have room to work with for a functional pool zone—and that's where turf shines. Installation around pools requires precise grading so water naturally flows away from your home's foundation, something our crew handles routinely given the soil composition here. We also factor in HOA guidelines that may apply to your specific development; some neighborhoods have landscape standards worth knowing about upfront. The other consideration is the pool deck itself—whether you're doing turf right up to pavers, stone, or concrete. We'll custom-fit the installation to your exact setup so transitions are seamless and safe. With our crews local to the area, we understand drainage patterns, sun movement, and what holds up best in Douglas County's climate.
Yes—that's actually one of the main reasons to choose turf here. We install a professional-grade drainage base layer that channels water away from your pool and home, something especially important given our heavy clay composition. Real grass would turn soggy in these conditions. The turf itself is designed to shed water quickly, so you won't have standing puddles or muddy areas even after heavy rain.
Not with the right product. We install chlorine-resistant artificial turf specifically rated for pool environments. The fibers are engineered to handle chemical exposure without discoloring or degrading. We've installed plenty of pool turfs in comparable Georgia homes, and ours hold up beautifully without fading or brittleness from chlorine contact.
It does get warmer, but modern turf is engineered to stay more comfortable than older versions. In direct Lithia Springs summer sun, we recommend keeping that pool turf well-watered in peak heat—a quick rinse keeps it cooler and more pleasant underfoot. It's still cooler than concrete or pavers, which is why many pool owners prefer the barefoot experience.
Install it during construction if possible—before heavy equipment traffic and after grading. We work closely with builders in the Lithia Springs area and can coordinate timing so the turf installation happens after pools and decks are complete but before final landscaping. This prevents damage and ensures proper integration with your overall yard design.
