Vs Pavers — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Pool season in Marietta means one thing: you want your backyard ready to go, and you don't want to spend half your summer maintaining it. That's where artificial turf around your pool comes in. Instead of fighting the red clay that dominates Cobb County yards, or watching natural grass turn brown under the afternoon sun beating down from above the mature oaks in your neighborhood, synthetic turf gives you a clean, safe, and permanently green deck area. Whether you're in East Cobb, West Cobb, or the Whitlock area, the challenge is the same—our climate swings between wet springs that turn clay into soup and dry summers where nothing wants to grow. Pavers are fine if you like scorching feet and constant maintenance, but artificial turf around a pool solves problems pavers can't touch. It drains faster than you'd think, stays cool to barefoot traffic, and turns a muddy mess into an actual entertaining space. We've installed hundreds of pool-turf setups across Marietta's zip codes, and the feedback is always the same: homeowners wish they'd done it sooner. Your pool is already the investment—make the deck work as hard as you do.
Marietta's red clay is beautiful until you're trying to grow grass or install pavers around water. Clay holds moisture longer than sandy soil, which means natural lawn around a pool stays boggy and encourages algae growth on hardscapes. Artificial turf sidesteps that problem entirely. The other factor is shade. East Cobb and areas near Kennesaw Mountain benefit from substantial mature oak canopy coverage, which is gorgeous for summer afternoons but murder on natural grass. Synthetic turf performs the same whether it's full sun or dappled shade—something natural grass simply can't do in this region. Installation matters here too. We always perforate drainage beneath pool-turf in Marietta to account for heavy spring rainfall and the clay's poor natural drainage. Most residential pools in these neighborhoods sit on quarter-acre to half-acre lots, so a 400–600 square foot pool deck is typical, and that's a perfect scale for artificial turf. Cobb County HOAs rarely object to turf (many actually prefer it to bare clay), and the investment pays back in usability. You're not replacing turf year after year or pressure-washing pavers constantly—you're just enjoying your pool.
Not significantly. While synthetic turf does absorb some heat, modern pool-grade turf in Marietta stays 10–15 degrees cooler than paver surfaces and doesn't radiate stored heat like concrete or stone. The occasional refresh with water (which you're doing anyway) keeps it comfortable. Barefoot traffic feels pleasant, not painful.
We install engineered base layers under the turf specifically to handle Marietta's clay and pool chemicals. Chlorine and pH-treated water drains through the synthetic fibers and base without pooling or damaging the turf. Annual inspection keeps it performing well.
Yes. If you've got pavers around your Marietta pool, we can cap them with base rock and lay turf right over top. No removal costs, faster installation, and your pool deck transforms without the demolition headache.
A typical residential pool deck in our service area (30060–30068 zip codes) takes 2–4 days from start to finish, depending on lot size and base preparation needs. We're based just 12 minutes away, so scheduling is flexible.
