Airbnb Upgrade — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Pool season in Marietta is a serious investment—especially when you're trying to attract guests to an Airbnb rental or just want your backyard to feel resort-quality year-round. The problem most homeowners in East Cobb and West Cobb run into is that natural grass around a pool becomes a muddy, chlorine-damaged nightmare within weeks. You're constantly fighting brown patches, slippery wet grass, and maintenance that never seems to end. That's where artificial turf changes the game. We've installed pool-side turf for dozens of Marietta properties, and the difference is immediate. Your deck stays clean, guests don't track grass clippings into the pool, and the whole space looks maintenance-free and upscale. Whether you're in the Whitlock area or closer to Kennesaw Mountain, artificial pool turf transforms how you use that backyard—and how much you can charge for a rental. We're just 12 minutes away and we know exactly what works in our local climate and soil.
Marietta's red clay and that mature oak canopy overhead create specific challenges for pool landscaping. First, the clay itself drains differently than sandy soil, which means water pools around deck areas after rain—not ideal when you're trying to keep things pristine. Second, if your property is in the shadier neighborhoods, natural grass struggles to thrive, leaving dead zones that look worse than ever when wet. Artificial turf solves both problems immediately. It drains properly regardless of soil type, and it stays uniform and green whether you get six hours of sun or four. We typically recommend a permeable base system for Cobb County properties because our rainfall patterns are pretty consistent. Pool decks in particular benefit from textured, slip-resistant artificial turf—crucial for guest safety and liability. Most Marietta backyards we work on range from 400 to 800 square feet around the pool area. Installation is straightforward even on sloped yards, which we see often in the East Cobb neighborhoods. The whole project usually takes 2–3 days, and you're ready to go without waiting for sod to establish.
Not with quality UV-stabilized turf. Marietta summers are hot, but modern artificial pool turf is engineered to handle constant chlorine exposure. We use materials rated for pool environments that won't yellow or degrade. A quick rinse with fresh water after heavy pool use keeps it looking new for years. We've got installations at rental properties near Marietta Square that take direct sun and heavy use—they still look pristine.
Absolutely. Red clay actually works fine for turf installation once we prepare the base correctly. We lay down a proper drainage system that prevents water from pooling—critical in Marietta where we get heavy spring rains. The clay won't affect the turf's appearance or lifespan. If anything, it's easier to work with than sandy soils because it compacts well and gives us a stable foundation.
Yes, and honestly, shade is a huge advantage for turf around pools. You don't have to worry about UV fading or algae growth as much. Shade actually extends the turf's lifespan. If you're in West Cobb or near Kennesaw Mountain where that oak canopy is thick, artificial turf is a smarter choice than natural grass anyway—natural grass dies in deep shade. The turf stays vibrant and you get a cleaner look year-round.
Most residential pool decks in the Marietta area run between $2,000 and $5,000 depending on square footage and base prep needed. Since we're only 12 minutes away, travel costs are minimal. We'll come out for a free walkthrough, measure your space, assess drainage needs, and give you a straightforward quote. No surprises—just honest pricing for quality work.
