Winter Care — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Around the McCollum area and the East Cobb border, homeowners are realizing that a natural grass pool deck doesn't make sense—especially when winter rolls around and maintenance becomes a headache. Georgia's clay soil holds moisture differently than you'd expect, and that's where artificial turf around your pool actually shines. We've installed dozens of pool-surround systems in this part of Cobb County, and the difference is night and day. No more muddy footprints tracked into the house after swimming. No algae blooms on wet grass. No wrestling with brown patches come December when the weather turns unpredictable. Artificial turf stays green, stays clean, and stays functional year-round—which matters a lot when you've got kids running in and out of the water. Winter in McCollum isn't brutal, but it's wet enough that natural grass turns into a slippery mess around pool areas. We're just 15 minutes away, so we know the local drainage challenges and exactly what works in neighborhoods along the aviation corridor and throughout East Cobb. Let's talk about a pool deck that actually performs.
McCollum's clay-heavy soil is your biggest consideration. That East Cobb clay doesn't drain quickly, which means water pools around your deck area—literally. Natural grass in that environment becomes compacted, muddy, and slippery, especially during Georgia's wetter winter months. Artificial turf solves this immediately because it drains through to a base layer we install, sending water away from your pool area instead of letting it sit. Most residential pools in this area have moderate to full sun exposure, particularly those closer to the aviation corridor where tree coverage is lighter. That UV intensity is actually perfect for artificial turf performance—it won't fade the way you might think, and it eliminates the algae growth that plagued many natural grass pool decks we've removed. Typical McCollum yard sizes range from quarter-acre to half-acre lots, so pool surrounds here are usually 200–400 square feet. We account for your existing decking, any retaining walls, and slope toward drainage. Winter maintenance here is minimal with artificial turf—just occasional brush-back and a rinse after heavy rain to keep debris clear.
Yes. We install a permeable base that channels water away from the surface, plus our turf fibers are engineered with slip-resistant texturing. Unlike natural grass that gets slick and compacted when wet, artificial turf around pools in East Cobb stays safe underfoot even after our typical winter downpours. You won't deal with the muddy mess natural grass creates in clay soil.
Our turf is UV-stabilized, so it holds its color even in the strong Georgia sun. The fibers we use are rated for 10+ years of color retention. Around the aviation corridor and throughout McCollum, we've installed systems that look just as vibrant after three winters as they did day one.
Most residential pool surrounds in the McCollum area take 3–5 days, depending on size and existing hardscape. We handle grading, base installation, and turf layout. Since we're 15 minutes away, we can often schedule quickly and complete the work without extended timelines.
We build proper drainage into every installation. The clay here requires a slope and perforated base to channel water effectively. We've perfected this for dozens of pools in McCollum—the turf stays dry on top while water moves safely away from your deck and pool structure.
