Vs Concrete — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Your pool deck in McCollum doesn't have to be a maintenance nightmare. Here's the thing: East Cobb clay soil stays wet longer than you'd expect, and that concrete around your pool is going to crack, stain, and become a slip hazard faster than you think. We've worked with dozens of McCollum homeowners—folks near the airport corridor and throughout the neighborhoods—who ditched their concrete pool surrounds for artificial turf. The difference is immediate. No more scorching your feet on sun-baked concrete in summer, no algae blooms from standing water, and zero pressure washing just to keep it looking decent. Artificial turf handles the humidity and heavy rain that roll through Cobb County, drains instantly, and gives your backyard an actual resort feel instead of a utilitarian slab. We're based just 15 minutes from McCollum, so we know this area's climate and drainage challenges inside and out. Your pool deck should be somewhere your family actually wants to spend time—not a maintenance project that eats weekends.
McCollum's clay-heavy soil means concrete pool decks absorb moisture and expand unpredictably through Georgia's wet seasons. Artificial turf solves that problem entirely—it sits on top of your existing pad, doesn't hold standing water, and won't develop the cracking patterns you see on older concrete decks throughout East Cobb. Sun exposure varies depending on whether your yard faces the open areas near McCollum Airport or sits shaded by mature trees common in the residential neighborhoods. We size your turf pile height and infill composition to match your sun load—thicker, cooler-touch options for full-sun pools, lighter weights for shaded yards. Most McCollum pool areas run 400–800 square feet, which is the sweet spot for turf installation; we remove or cap the concrete, prep a proper base, and have you ready to use it within a week. The aviation corridor winds can mean faster evaporation, which actually works in your favor—your turf dries quickly after heavy Cobb County thunderstorms, and there's no puddling or green algae bloom that you get with concrete.
Not with the right product. We install turf specifically rated for pool decks—cooler-touch infill and backing engineered for moisture. In McCollum's humid summers, it stays significantly cooler than concrete, which absorbs and radiates heat relentlessly. Your feet won't burn, and the turf won't degrade. We've installed dozens of pool decks across East Cobb with zero heat complaints.
Yes—we install a permeable base layer that handles Cobb County's heavy rainfall. The turf itself drains in minutes; water flows through the backing into the base system and percolates away from your pool structure. Clay doesn't drain naturally, which is exactly why concrete fails—your turf eliminates that pressure entirely.
Absolutely. No algae, no mold, no slippery surfaces like wet concrete. McCollum families with young kids and dogs prefer turf because it's safer underfoot, softer if someone slips, and eliminates the chemical-laden buildup concrete collects. Plus, no chlorine staining on a light-colored pool deck—turf handles bleach splashes without permanent marks.
Ten to fifteen years with proper care in our humid East Cobb environment. We use commercial-grade materials rated for pool chemicals, UV exposure, and heavy foot traffic. A quick rinse after chlorine splashes and annual infill top-ups keep it looking new. That beats concrete, which typically needs sealing or resurfacing every 5–7 years.
