Side Yard — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Your side yard in Morrow doesn't have to sit there looking bare or struggling with whatever the Clayton County clay throws at it. A lot of homeowners around the Southlake Mall area and near Clayton State University are discovering that artificial turf turns those awkward in-between spaces into something actually functional—a spot where the kids can play, you can entertain without worrying about mud, or just have a clean, green area that looks good year-round. Here's the thing: Morrow's heat and humidity are brutal on regular grass, and that dense clay soil makes drainage a nightmare. Pool-side turf changes the equation. You get a soft, safe surface right next to your pool without the constant maintenance, without the algae problems that come from wet natural grass, and without fighting the Georgia summer every single week. We've been installing turf in Clayton County long enough to know exactly what works in your neighborhood. Whether you've got a compact side yard or a sprawling space, artificial pool turf gives you back your weekends—and gives your family a better place to gather.
Clayton County's clay soil is both a blessing and a headache. It drains poorly, which means natural grass turns into a soggy mess during Georgia's humid summers, especially in low-lying areas near the Southlake Mall commercial corridor. Pool-side yards face extra challenges: chlorine splashes kill regular grass, and wet grass near pool decks becomes a slip hazard and breeding ground for mold. Artificial turf solves both problems. We design systems with proper subsurface drainage to handle Morrow's heavy rains without standing water. Your side yard gets full sun exposure most of the day, which heats up artificial turf in summer—a consideration we address with lighter backing materials and strategic shade from existing structures or trees. Most properties in Morrow's residential areas have modest side yards, so we focus on durability and realistic aesthetics rather than oversized installations. Installation here typically involves removing the existing struggling turf, amending the clay base, and laying a compacted foundation that sheds water away from your pool and home. We've done dozens of installations in this area and understand how Clayton County's soil behaves through the seasons.
Yes. Our pool-grade turf is specifically designed to resist chemical breakdown from chlorine, bromine, and even saltwater systems. We see a lot of pools in the Clayton State area, and proper turf selection and drainage management prevent degradation. Rinse the turf occasionally to remove chemical buildup, and it'll outlast your pool equipment.
Georgia heat is real, especially in Clayton County's commercial corridor. Our turf reaches 140–160°F on peak days, which is warm but not unsafe for brief contact. We recommend a light-colored backing or strategic shade placement. If you're installing a large pool deck area, we can zone it with shade structures or use premium cooler-fiber options that reduce surface temperature by 10–15°F.
Depends on your subdivision. Many residential areas near Southlake Mall have guidelines about landscape materials. We recommend checking your HOA documentation first—most approve artificial turf, especially for pool areas, since it's safer and cleaner than struggling natural grass. We can help you understand what the rules allow.
We excavate the existing grass and clay, then install a compacted base layer with subsurface drainage rock to handle Clayton County's heavy rainfall. A geotextile membrane separates the drainage layer from the turf itself. Proper grading slopes water away from your home and pool. This process takes 1–2 days depending on yard size and prevents the standing water issues clay naturally creates.
