Eco Friendly — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Pool season in McCollum runs long and hot, which means your backyard gets serious use. The thing about traditional sod around a pool deck in East Cobb is that our clay soil doesn't drain well, it compacts like concrete when wet, and grass just dies under the foot traffic and chlorine splash. We've installed synthetic turf around dozens of pools in the McCollum area—from homes near the airport corridor to properties deeper in the neighborhood—and the transformation is remarkable. You get that lush, green look year-round without the dead patches, without the mud getting tracked inside, and without spending your summer weekends fighting brown spots. Eco-friendly artificial turf has come a long way. Today's versions use recyclable materials, require zero fertilizers or pesticides, and cut your water usage to almost nothing. For McCollum homeowners who care about sustainability but also want a pool area that actually stays beautiful through August, this is the real solution. We're just 15 minutes away and we know exactly what works in Cobb County clay.
McCollum's East Cobb clay is the main reason pool-turf makes sense here. Regular grass struggles because our soil doesn't shed water—it holds it, which breeds fungus and root rot, especially around wet areas like pool decks. Our summers are humid and intense, and the UV load is significant. Artificial turf doesn't care about any of that. The turf we install is engineered for high-traffic zones and chlorine exposure, with excellent drainage backing that lets water move through quickly instead of pooling on top. Most McCollum properties have good sun exposure (some with afternoon shade from mature trees), and synthetic turf performs beautifully in both conditions. Installation around pools requires careful attention to grading and edging—we make sure the turf sits flush with pool coping and deck materials so there are no tripping hazards. Because East Cobb neighborhoods tend toward quarter-acre to half-acre lots, sizing and layout are straightforward, but we always account for the aviation corridor noise and occasional dust from nearby airport activity. Your turf still stays cleaner and greener than natural grass would in these conditions.
Not at all. Modern pool turf is built to handle chlorine, salt, and common pool chemicals without degradation. The open-weave backing we use drains these chemicals quickly, and the fibers are UV-stabilized to resist breakdown. McCollum's hot summers mean lots of splash and evaporation—the turf just rinses clean naturally or with a quick hose-down.
That's exactly why it works so well here. We install it over a proper drainage base that sits above the clay, not in it. Water moves right through the turf and backing instead of sitting on clay and rotting roots. In McCollum, this is a game-changer for pool areas where moisture is constant.
Today's turf uses recyclable polyethylene and polypropylene, plus biodegradable infill options. The real environmental win: zero pesticides, zero fertilizer runoff into Cobb County waterways, and dramatically less water use—crucial in a Georgia summer. It's a much lighter footprint than maintaining natural grass near a chlorinated pool.
Minimal. Rinse it occasionally to clear debris, brush the pile if needed, and that's it. No mowing, no fertilizing, no fungus treatments. McCollum's humidity and summer heat won't create the brown patches and thin spots you'd see with natural grass, so your pool area stays photo-ready all season.
