Older Home — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Pool season in McCollum means one thing: you want your backyard ready to go, not buried under maintenance headaches. If you've got an older home in the East Cobb area—especially near the McCollum Airport corridor—you know how brutal that red clay can be around pool decks. Real grass turns into a mud pit, dead spots appear by midsummer, and chemical runoff from pool water just makes it worse. Artificial turf solves that problem completely. No more soggy patches, no chlorine burns, no weeds creeping into your pool surround. We've installed hundreds of pool-side turfs across Cobb County, and McCollum homeowners consistently tell us it's the best decision they made for their outdoor space. The turf stays green year-round, drains properly even with our Georgia humidity, and holds up to barefoot traffic way better than struggling sod ever will. Most pool decks in this area are modest-sized but high-traffic zones—exactly where synthetic turf excels. You get a safe, slip-resistant surface that actually feels good underfoot, plus zero maintenance between now and next summer.
McCollum sits in that classic East Cobb clay belt, which is honestly both a challenge and an opportunity for pool turf installation. That dense, compacted clay doesn't drain naturally—so when you're running pool chemicals and splashing water all around your deck, you need a turf system with proper base preparation. We slope the foundation slightly and install a perforated drainage layer underneath to keep water moving away from your pool equipment and foundation. The shade patterns around older homes here can vary dramatically depending on your lot's tree coverage and orientation relative to the aviation corridor. Some backyards get brutal afternoon sun; others are dappled with oak and pine shade. We'll assess your specific setup during the site visit because it affects which turf pile height and density works best for your space. Most McCollum pool yards are in that 200–600 square foot range—tight enough that every inch counts, which is where quality synthetic turf really pays dividends. The material resists the clay-based staining common in this area, and the infill system we use handles Georgia's humidity without getting boggy or developing odor issues that plague cheaper installations.
Not if it's installed correctly. Our turf is chemical-resistant and designed for pool environments. The key is drainage: that clay base needs a proper slope and sub-base layer so chlorinated water doesn't pool under the turf. We handle that during installation so your deck stays safe and your turf stays vibrant for years.
Georgia humidity is real, especially in East Cobb. Our infill includes anti-microbial protection, and we make sure your drainage system is aggressive enough to shed water quickly. Regular rinsing during peak summer keeps everything fresh. Most homeowners just use a garden hose monthly—far easier than mowing or treating real grass.
Absolutely. It's non-toxic, doesn't require pesticides or fertilizers, and stays cooler than concrete when you're barefoot. We use infill materials rated for residential pools, and the pile structure prevents pooling of water where bacteria could grow. McCollum families with young kids especially appreciate the safety and zero maintenance.
Most residential pool-surround projects take 2–3 days from start to finish. We prep that clay base, lay drainage, install the turf, and let it cure. You're usually back in the water by day four. We're just 15 minutes from McCollum, so scheduling and follow-up service is straightforward.
