Raised Bed Border — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Pool season in Moreland means one thing: you want your backyard looking sharp without spending weekends pulling weeds around the deck. That's where artificial turf comes in. Whether you're in Downtown Moreland or out in the quieter parts of Coweta County, a synthetic turf border around your pool solves a real problem—mud tracked into the water, grass clippings floating around, and that constant battle with our Georgia red clay trying to turn everything into a muddy mess. We've installed raised-bed borders and pool decking in yards across this area, and honestly, it's one of the smartest upgrades pool owners make. You get a clean, safe surface that doesn't need mowing, doesn't hold standing water in our humid summers, and actually looks better than natural grass within a year. The investment pays for itself in time and sanity, and your pool area stays guest-ready year-round. Let's talk about what makes sense for your setup.
Moreland's Coweta County red clay is beautiful to look at, but it's not your friend when it comes to pool borders. That heavy clay compacts easily, drains poorly, and when it gets wet—which happens often in Georgia summers—it turns into slippery, stain-prone mush. Artificial turf solves this completely. It sits on top of a proper drainage base, so water moves right through instead of pooling around your deck or creating that muddy transition zone between your grass and the concrete. Most Moreland yards have solid sun exposure on the south and west sides, which is great for turf performance; we just make sure your seams are oriented to minimize glare off the water on bright afternoons. Pool areas also tend to get more foot traffic than typical lawn spaces, so we recommend a denser pile (usually 65 ounces or higher) that holds up to wet feet, chlorine splash, and sunscreen. Installation around raised beds is straightforward—we bring the turf right up to the edge, secure it properly so it doesn't shift when people walk along the border, and grade the base so water drains away from the pool structure. No special HOA considerations in Moreland, but we always confirm the turf meets residential safety standards.
No—actually, clay-heavy soil is one of the best reasons to go with turf. We don't rely on the native soil for the turf itself. We install a engineered base layer (usually crushed stone and geotextile) that sits right on top of the clay. This creates excellent drainage and prevents the turf from shifting. The clay stays where it is; the turf stays where we put it.
We typically leave 3–6 inches of concrete or composite decking between the turf edge and the water line. This prevents chlorine splash from degrading the seams and keeps debris from the water from getting tangled in the turf. For Moreland pools, this buffer also helps with drainage during our heavier rain months.
Pool-grade turf isn't dramatically different, but it matters. We use higher-density products (65+ oz) and UV-stabilized fibers rated for chlorine exposure. Regular lawn turf can fade faster and wear thin in high-traffic areas. For a pool border in Moreland, spending a bit more on premium turf saves you from needing replacement in 5–7 years.
Most residential pools in the Moreland area take 1–2 days, depending on size and whether we're working around existing raised beds. We handle site prep, base installation, turf layout, and seaming. You're typically back to using your pool within 24 hours after we finish.
