Vs Real Grass — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Pool season in McCollum means one thing: mud. That East Cobb clay turns into a slippery mess the second someone walks from the pool deck to your yard, and real grass? It doesn't stand a chance around chlorine, foot traffic, and our humidity. We've installed artificial turf around dozens of pools in the McCollum area and the neighborhoods bordering East Cobb, and the difference is immediate. No more tracking dirt into your house. No more dead patches where the kids run. Your pool deck stays clean, usable, and honestly—better looking year-round. Artificial turf handles the abuse that real grass simply can't: chlorine splashout, constant wet feet, sand from pool toys, and the relentless Georgia sun beating down on a small yard. Plus, you're not fighting our clay soil underneath. We handle the prep work, deal with drainage properly, and get your pool area ready for actual use instead of constant maintenance. McCollum homeowners are catching on because pool turf works.
McCollum sits in that tricky East Cobb clay zone, which is both a curse for natural grass and exactly why artificial turf shines here. Real grass struggles because clay doesn't drain well—water pools, roots suffocate, and around a pool area that's constantly wet, you're looking at dead spots within weeks. Our artificial turf installation accounts for this. We build proper drainage underneath so water moves away from your pool deck instead of creating swampy patches. The other factor is sun exposure. Some McCollum yards get brutal afternoon sun (especially properties near the aviation corridor where tree cover is limited), and that UV intensity burns out real grass fast. Artificial turf actually performs better in high-heat zones because it won't scorch or thin out. Most residential pools in this area sit in modest-sized yards—typical quarter-acre lots common to East Cobb subdivisions—so every square foot counts. Artificial turf maximizes usable space without the maintenance headache. We've also worked with several HOA communities in the McCollum area, and most allow turf as long as it's professionally installed and maintained to code. We handle those compliance details.
Absolutely. High-quality artificial turf is chlorine-resistant and designed for wet environments. McCollum's humidity means moisture lingers, but that's exactly why proper drainage installation matters—we slope the base so water and chlorine runoff drain away instead of sitting on your turf. Our turf won't degrade or discolor from pool chemicals.
Yes, typically. Standard infill can compact or shift around pool traffic and splashout. We usually recommend antimicrobial infill in McCollum pool installations because our humidity creates conditions where algae and mold can take hold. It's an upfront investment that pays off in durability and cleanliness.
Clay is dense and doesn't drain naturally, so we build a proper gravel and drainage base before laying turf. Without it, you'd trap water underneath and lose the whole point of going artificial. We've done this hundreds of times in McCollum and East Cobb—it's standard for us.
That's actually when it matters most. Smaller yards get heavy use around pools, and artificial turf keeps things functional year-round without the maintenance burden. We can work with any size lot in the McCollum area and maximize what you've got.
