Backyard — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Your pool area in Marietta deserves to look as good as it feels. That concrete deck or worn grass around your backyard oasis doesn't have to stay that way—artificial turf transforms pool zones into year-round, low-maintenance retreats that actually work with the Georgia climate instead of against it. Whether you're in East Cobb, West Cobb, or near Whitlock, the reality is that traditional sod struggles here. Cobb County's red clay and the mature oak canopy that shades so many Marietta yards create conditions where grass either drowns or thin out. Around a pool, the constant foot traffic, splashing, and chemical exposure make real grass even more problematic. Our artificial turf installations solve that. You get a soft, safe surface that won't turn to mud, won't stain from chlorine or dirt tracked from the pool deck, and stays green without the weekly maintenance headache. Homeowners from the Marietta Square area all the way out to the neighborhoods near Kennesaw Mountain have discovered that turf around their pools actually increases how much they use and enjoy them. No more brown patches. No more slippery algae buildup. Just a clean, comfortable place to walk, lounge, and let your family play safely.
Marietta's red clay soil is beautiful—it's part of what makes the area's mature oaks so impressive—but it's terrible for traditional pool deck grass. That clay compacts under foot traffic, holds water in summer storms, and creates perfect conditions for fungus and algae growth right where you need dry footing. The oak canopy that keeps Marietta neighborhoods so shaded in summer also means most backyards don't get the consistent sunlight real sod needs. Artificial turf eliminates all of this. It drains fast, so poolside puddles disappear within minutes of heavy rain. The material won't compress or thin under the weight of deck chairs and foot traffic the way natural grass would. Because we're only 12 minutes from your Marietta address, our installation crew understands these specific conditions—we size drainage systems for Cobb County's rainfall patterns and choose turf pile heights that work for the typical backyard slope and sun exposure in your neighborhood. Most Marietta pool yards range from 200 to 600 square feet around the deck area. We can customize infill type and blade texture to match whether your pool zone gets filtered sun through the oaks or direct afternoon heat. Unlike sod that requires acclimation and frequent watering, our turf is ready to use immediately after installation.
Absolutely. Our turf is specifically designed for pool environments and resists chlorine, salt, and UV damage. Splashing won't cause discoloration or degradation the way it would with natural grass. The material drains chlorinated water immediately, so chemical accumulation isn't a concern. Most Marietta pool installations hold up perfectly for 10+ years with just occasional rinsing and the rare brush cleaning. No browning, no bare patches.
Slopes are actually ideal for turf. Water runs off naturally, which is exactly what you want around a pool. During installation, we grade the base properly and add a perforated drain system if needed—especially important in Cobb County where heavy summer rain is common. The red clay underneath tends to stay saturated, so we treat drainage as a priority. You'll never have standing water on your pool deck.
Your pool stays full. We work around it. We'll mark off the pool area and install turf in sections as needed, being careful with equipment and chemicals. The job typically takes one day for a standard Marietta backyard pool zone. We protect your pool equipment and landscaping throughout. It's a clean, straightforward process that doesn't disrupt your summer plans.
Initial cost for turf is higher—typically 30-50% more than sod installation. But consider the math: sod fails in Cobb's heat and shade, requiring replacement every 2-3 years. Turf lasts a decade-plus with zero maintenance. Add in water bills, fertilizer, fungicide treatments, and your time, and turf pays for itself in 5-6 years while giving you a better pool experience immediately.
