Local Installer — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Your backyard pool area in Marietta deserves a surface that actually works year-round—not one that turns into a mud pit after rain or requires constant maintenance. That's where artificial turf comes in. Whether you're in East Cobb, West Cobb, or near the Whitlock area, pool decking with synthetic grass eliminates the mess of chlorine-damaged natural lawn, standing water in our Georgia humidity, and the constant upkeep that takes time away from actually enjoying your pool. We've installed pool turf for homeowners all across Marietta's neighborhoods, and the difference is immediate. No more tracking wet mulch into the house, no algae growth on bare patches, no bare feet burning on scorching deck stone. Artificial turf around your pool stays cool, drains quickly through our professional base system, and gives you a clean, usable space that looks polished from day one. Most of our Marietta clients tell us the same thing: they wish they'd done it sooner.
Marietta's red clay soil and mature oak canopy create some unique challenges for pool areas. That dense shade from the trees—especially common around East Cobb and Whitlock properties—is actually a strength for synthetic turf; it won't fade or degrade like natural grass would, and your pool surround stays cooler. The real issue is drainage. Our Cobb County clay doesn't absorb water quickly, so standing water and algae buildup are common problems with concrete or natural grass decking. When we install pool turf in Marietta, we always specify a proper subsurface drainage layer—usually a combination of base rock and a perforated drainage membrane—to handle our heavy spring and summer rains. The turf itself needs to be marine-grade synthetic (not standard landscape turf) because chlorine and salt from pool water are aggressive. We typically use products rated for direct pool contact and install with a slight slope away from the pool structure. Typical Marietta pool decks range from 200 to 600 square feet, and we factor in access pathways and furniture space when designing your layout.
Standard landscape turf, yes. But marine-grade synthetic turf—which is what we install for pool areas—is specifically engineered to resist chlorine, salt, and UV breakdown. Marietta's intense summer sun makes this especially important. We use only products tested for direct pool contact, and proper installation with drainage prevents chlorine pooling that could degrade inferior materials.
Absolutely. Premium pool turf in Marietta actually stays 15–20 degrees cooler than concrete decking because it reflects less radiant heat. We install with an infill system that absorbs and disperses heat efficiently. Many East Cobb and Whitlock homeowners specifically choose turf over stone for this reason—barefoot comfort matters.
Our clay is dense and doesn't drain naturally, which is why we never skip proper base preparation. We excavate, compact, then add a drainage layer with perforated membrane to handle Cobb County's heavy rain. This prevents water from sitting under your turf and causing algae or settling. It takes more work than a typical landscape job, but it's non-negotiable for pool areas.
Pool turf is different from regular landscape installation—the drainage design, subsurface prep, and chlorine-resistant materials matter too much to DIY. Poor drainage leads to algae, settling, and premature failure. We're just 12 minutes from most Marietta neighborhoods, so professional installation is a smart investment that protects both your turf and your pool structure.
