Drainage Solutions — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Most of our McCollum neighbors have one thing in common: they're tired of fighting with that heavy East Cobb clay soil around their pools. The summer heat beats down on your yard, the drainage backs up after a good rain, and suddenly that pool area you wanted to enjoy becomes a muddy mess or a slick hazard. We've been installing artificial turf in the McCollum area and across the East Cobb border for years, and we've learned exactly what works in this climate. Pool decking is different from regular lawn—it needs to handle constant foot traffic, chlorine exposure, standing water, and the intense Georgia sun. That's why we don't just roll out any turf and call it a day. We build a drainage system underneath that actually moves water away from your pool structure instead of pooling around the deck. Living near the aviation corridor means you're in a solid residential pocket, and your home deserves a pool area that's both beautiful and functional. We can have you enjoying a pristine, safe deck in just a couple of days.
McCollum sits on challenging terrain. That dense, clay-heavy soil you've got drains poorly on its own, which is exactly why pool areas flood or stay boggy after rain. We account for this by installing a perforated base layer that channels water away from your pool shell and foundation. Sun exposure varies across the McCollum area—some properties back up to tree lines on the East Cobb border, while others sit fully open to afternoon heat. We'll assess your specific sun pattern because that affects both the turf product we recommend and the longevity of your deck. Most pool properties in this neighborhood are quarter-acre to half-acre lots, so we're usually working with compact, high-traffic zones. The chlorine and salt from pools can degrade cheaper synthetic fibers, so we stick with UV-stabilized, marine-grade materials that won't break down. Your HOA (if applicable) may have landscape guidelines, and we'll make sure any turf color and pile height meets those requirements before we start digging. East Cobb humidity also means proper drainage prevents algae growth and keeps your deck looking fresh year-round.
East Cobb clay compacts and sheds water instead of absorbing it. Around pools, this gets worse because of constant splashing and cleaning runoff. We install a gravel and perforated pipe base that mimics natural drainage—water moves through it instead of sitting on top. Within 30 minutes of rain, your deck dries out instead of staying soggy for hours.
Yes, but only the right kind. We use turf specifically engineered for pool environments—the backing resists chemical breakdown and the fibers won't degrade from regular chlorine exposure. Cheaper turfs will yellow and brittle within a season. We've tested our materials in McCollum's humidity and heat, and they hold up.
Most residential pool areas—say 300 to 500 square feet—take one full day from start to finish. We prep the base, set up drainage, lay the turf, and seal the seams. You're swimming the next day if you want. Larger decks might take two days, but we're efficient and we're local—we're about 15 minutes from McCollum, so scheduling is flexible.
Darker turfs do retain heat, especially in full sun. We offer lighter colors and can recommend placement of pavers or stepping stones for high-traffic zones. We also discuss your sun exposure during the consultation—if your deck is shaded by trees on the East Cobb border, heat won't be an issue. We'll make sure you're comfortable.
