Master Installer — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Pool day in Lithonia looks different when you've got artificial turf surrounding your deck. No more muddy footprints tracked through the house, no dead patches from chlorine splash, and zero maintenance headaches while you're actually enjoying your backyard. Whether you're in Downtown Lithonia, near the Stonecrest area, or anywhere in the 30038 and 30058 zips, the reality is that real grass and pools are enemies. We've installed premium pool turf for dozens of DeKalb County homeowners, and the transformation is immediate—cleaner, safer, and honestly more usable from day one. Our team works throughout East DeKalb and knows exactly how to handle the clay-heavy soil and granite-influenced terrain around here. We're 35 minutes away, which means we can knock out your pool surround installation without the usual back-and-forth delays. Most of our Lithonia clients tell us the same thing: they wish they'd done it sooner. Artificial turf around your pool isn't a luxury anymore—it's the practical choice.
Here's what makes Lithonia pool turf installations a bit different from other Georgia markets. Your soil is predominantly clay with granite outcroppings typical of East DeKalb, which is great news—it means excellent drainage and a solid base. We don't have to do nearly as much site prep as you'd need in sandier areas. Sun exposure varies wildly depending on whether you're near Arabia Mountain or tucked into one of the Stonecrest neighborhoods with mature tree coverage. We assess shade patterns during your walkthrough because that affects which turf profile we recommend. Pool deck areas tend to be compact in Lithonia—most yards aren't sprawling estates—so we often combine turf with permeable pavers or decorative borders to maximize usable space. Chlorine tolerance is built into our premium pool-grade turf, but we also discuss drainage direction during the quote phase to keep water from pooling near your foundation. HOA rules in the Stonecrest communities sometimes have specific landscaping requirements, so we'll clarify those upfront. Installation typically takes one to two days depending on your deck size and whether we're removing old concrete or building on existing hardscape.
Absolutely. Our pool-grade turf is specifically engineered for chemical exposure—chlorine, salt, and most common pool treatments won't degrade the fibers or backing. We've installed this same product at homes throughout DeKalb County with excellent longevity. Proper drainage (which our clay-based soil supports naturally) keeps chemicals from concentrating in any one spot. Rinse the turf occasionally with fresh water, and it'll last 12-15 years easily.
Clay is actually ideal for pool turf—it's dense, stable, and drains predictably. We excavate to grade, compact the clay base, then lay a permeable underlayment and secure the turf. The granite outcroppings you see around Arabia Mountain area mean we sometimes hit rock a bit shallower than expected, but that's manageable. We adjust the installation method on-site and you don't pay more for it.
Yes, but we'll discuss expectations upfront. Some Stonecrest properties have mature trees that create heavy shade. Artificial turf doesn't need sunlight, but it does need air circulation. We'll evaluate your specific microclimate during the site visit and recommend the best product for your sun-to-shade ratio. Full sun areas get our premium option; mixed-shade areas work with a slightly different profile.
Most residential pool deck installs—typical Lithonia-size jobs—complete in one to two days. We schedule around your availability, handle site prep, base work, and turf installation in sequence. Since we're based 35 minutes away and service DeKalb County regularly, scheduling is flexible. No extended project timelines or multiple visits for a straightforward pool surround.
