Installation — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Your pool area in Marietta deserves better than patchy, muddy ground that turns into a slipping hazard every time someone gets out of the water. Artificial turf around your pool changes that equation entirely. Whether you're in East Cobb, West Cobb, or near Whitlock, you're dealing with clay-heavy soil that doesn't drain well and gets compacted fast when wet. Natural grass struggles here—especially around pool decks where foot traffic is constant and chlorine splash kills whatever you plant. Artificial pool turf eliminates those headaches. It stays dry quickly, never needs reseeding, and gives you a clean, safe surface that lasts for years. We've installed synthetic turf for dozens of Marietta homeowners who got tired of fighting their yards. The Cobb County climate—with those mature oak canopies providing shade in many neighborhoods—actually makes artificial turf a smarter choice. You're not fighting shade burn or thin patches. Just a consistent, maintenance-free zone around your pool that looks sharp and works hard.
Marietta's red clay is beautiful, but it's your pool turf's biggest challenge. Clay doesn't drain like sandy soil, which means standing water, algae, and slippery surfaces after rain or heavy pool use. That's exactly why artificial turf performs so well here—water runs straight through the backing and down to your drainage system. We account for the shade from those mature oaks when we design your pool deck. Some properties in East Cobb and around Kennesaw Mountain area get significant afternoon shade, which actually works in your favor with synthetic turf. No sun scorch, no dead spots. Installation around pools requires precision: we set proper slope for water runoff, secure the seams so chlorine splash doesn't cause separation, and use infill materials rated for pool environments. Most Marietta pool decks are 200–400 square feet, which is a solid project for our crew. We typically complete residential pool installations in one or two days, depending on site prep. Cobb County's humidity means drainage is critical—we install a perforated base layer that moves water away fast, protecting both the turf and your pool structure.
No, if it's installed correctly. We use pool-grade synthetic turf with backings and infill specifically designed to handle chlorine exposure. The key is proper drainage—chlorinated water needs to run through the turf and away from the base. We've installed hundreds of pool decks in Cobb County with zero chlorine degradation. Just rinse the turf occasionally with fresh water to prevent salt buildup from pool splashing.
Marietta's clay soil drains slowly, but artificial turf doesn't sit on top of clay—we create a drainage system beneath it. We slope the deck slightly and install a permeable base layer that moves water down and away. Within minutes of rain or pool overflow, water passes through the synthetic fibers and backing, then drains into the ground or your perimeter drainage. No puddles, no algae, no slipping hazards.
Absolutely. Shade is actually one of artificial turf's advantages over natural grass. Those mature oaks in Marietta neighborhoods create perfect conditions for synthetic turf—no sun damage, no thin patches from competing with tree roots. Shade also keeps the turf cooler in summer, which is a bonus for barefoot comfort around the pool.
Most residential pool deck projects take one to two days, depending on size and site prep. We're based just 12 minutes from central Marietta, so we can schedule quickly. If your yard has clay compaction or poor drainage, we might spend extra time on the base layer—that's non-negotiable for Cobb County soil conditions. Better upfront prep means your turf lasts 10+ years without issues.
