Vs Mulch — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A pool deck that stays pristine year-round without the constant maintenance of mulch—that's what artificial turf brings to Marietta backyards. We've installed synthetic pool turf across East Cobb, West Cobb, and the Whitlock area, and homeowners consistently tell us the same thing: they wish they'd done it sooner. The red clay soil in Cobb County turns to soup after heavy rain, mulch breaks down and needs replacing every couple of seasons, and natural grass around a pool area fights a losing battle against foot traffic and chlorine splash. Artificial turf eliminates all of that. It drains properly, won't stain your pool water, and gives you a clean, safe surface that stays beautiful without weeding, raking, or seasonal replacement cycles. Whether your pool sits near Marietta Square or tucked into a shaded lot under mature oaks near Kennesaw Mountain, we've got the experience to design and install a pool surround that works with your specific yard. We're based just 12 minutes away in the area, so we understand Cobb County yards—the shade patterns, the soil challenges, and what actually holds up to Georgia's humidity and summer sun.
Marietta's dense oak canopy is gorgeous for summer cooling, but it creates unique challenges for pool landscaping. Mulch in shaded areas stays damp longer, promoting mold and fungal growth—especially common in the tree-covered lots throughout East and West Cobb. Artificial turf sidesteps this entirely. The red clay base soil here also means drainage is critical; our installation process accounts for Cobb County's soil composition and ensures water moves away from your pool equipment and foundation rather than pooling. Pool decks get heavy foot traffic, and that red clay can track into your pool if you're relying on mulch or bare ground. Synthetic turf contains the mess. We also size and grade the turf bed to handle Georgia's summer downpours—the kind that overwhelm standard drainage. Most Marietta pools sit on lots ranging from 0.25 to 0.5 acres, which means your pool surround is often a significant visual focal point. We design the layout to maximize usable space while keeping installation costs reasonable for your property size. HOA communities in these neighborhoods typically approve artificial turf for pool areas since it's cleaner, safer, and more uniform than mulch or struggling natural grass.
Our turf is UV-stabilized to resist fading, and we've installed hundreds of pool decks across Cobb County that maintain their color year after year. The shade from Marietta's mature oaks actually helps preserve color in some areas. We use premium-grade synthetic that's rated for intense sun exposure, so you're looking at a 10+ year lifespan with minimal color shift.
No. Chlorine, salt, and standard pool chemicals won't degrade high-quality synthetic turf. We specifically choose materials rated for pool environments. The real benefit? Your turf won't leach particles into your pool water like mulch does, and you won't deal with staining or discoloration from chemical exposure.
Our installation includes a perforated base layer and proper grading that accounts for Marietta's red clay drainage challenges. Water moves through the turf and drains to a gravel bed beneath, preventing standing water. We've engineered this system specifically for East and West Cobb soil conditions—it won't trap moisture the way mulch does.
DIY installation is tempting but risky around pools. Improper grading causes water backup near your equipment, and mistakes with seaming or anchoring create safety hazards. We handle the soil prep, base layer, and seaming professionally. At 12 minutes away, we're accessible for any adjustments or warranty work you might need.
