Dog Run — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Pool areas in Marietta take a beating—between the summer heat, chlorine splash, and dogs running wet paws across decking, real grass just doesn't hold up. That's where artificial turf comes in. Whether you're in East Cobb near the Marietta Square or out in the quieter West Cobb neighborhoods, creating a dog-friendly zone around your pool is actually one of the smartest turf investments you can make. Your pup gets a soft, safe surface year-round. You get zero mud tracked into the house, no dead patches from urine, and no wrestling match every time Fido wants to shake off poolside. We've installed dozens of pool-turf setups across the Marietta zip codes, and the transformation is always the same: homeowners wonder why they didn't do it sooner. The Cobb County heat means real grass needs constant watering and reseeding, but synthetic turf laughs at July and August. Add in the shade from those mature oak trees throughout our neighborhoods, and natural grass becomes even more of a losing battle. Pool turf is soft underfoot, drains instantly (no puddles for your dog to splash through), and handles chlorine without fading or breaking down. We're just 12 minutes away, so we know exactly what works here in Marietta.
Marietta's red clay and tree canopy create a perfect storm for pool areas. That heavy Cobb County clay means natural grass roots struggle to establish, especially in shaded backyards where those mature oaks block direct sun. Most Marietta properties sit in partial to heavy shade, which is beautiful for cooling off but terrible for turf health. Real grass thins out, moss takes over, and you're left with a muddy mess by your pool deck. Artificial turf doesn't care about shade—it stays green and functional whether you're under the oak canopy or in full sun. Drainage is critical in this area. Our red clay holds water, and pool areas get extra moisture from splash-out and dog shaking. We install turf with proper base preparation and perforated backing to ensure water moves through quickly. No standing puddles means no algae, no slick surfaces, and a safer environment for dogs running around wet. Most Marietta backyards range from 500 to 1,500 square feet around the pool area. We typically recommend 8–12mm pile height for pet-friendly pool turf—soft enough for paws, durable enough for the abuse chlorine and UV exposure bring. Installation usually takes 2–3 days depending on existing hardscape and whether we're removing old sod. The neighborhoods around Whitlock and East Cobb often have HOA guidelines, so we always confirm deck setbacks and material specs before we start.
Not at all. Modern pool turf is specifically engineered to handle chlorine, salt systems, and UV exposure. In fact, synthetic turf outlasts natural grass by years in this environment. We use pet-grade materials that are chlorine-resistant and non-fading. Just rinse it down periodically to remove chemical buildup, and you're good. Most Marietta homeowners see their turf look vibrant for 10+ years without color issues.
This is the biggest win for pet owners. Unlike natural grass, synthetic turf doesn't brown or thin from urine. The material is permeable, so urine drains straight through into the base layer. We recommend rinsing the area weekly with a garden hose to prevent ammonia buildup and odor—takes 30 seconds. Most Marietta dog owners find they have zero landscape issues after switching to pool turf.
Yes. Our red clay doesn't drain naturally, so we install a perforated base layer and proper slope to move water away from the pool area. Without it, you'd get standing water and a spongy feel underfoot. We customize the drainage for each property—whether you're in East Cobb or West Cobb, the clay conditions are consistent, and we account for it every time.
Most installations run 2–3 days, depending on yard size and existing hardscape. We handle site prep, base installation, and turf lay in one project. Since we're just 12 minutes from central Marietta, we can often schedule back-to-back installs and be efficient with scheduling. We'll give you a timeline during the initial walkthrough.
