Vs Gravel — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Your pool area in Norcross deserves better than gravel. We get it—gravel seems cheap and easy at first. But if you've spent any time around Thrasher Park or walking through Historic Norcross after a rain, you know how quickly our Georgia clay turns everything into a muddy mess. Gravel shifts, tracks into your pool, needs constant raking, and honestly, it looks dated next to the newer homes popping up in Peachtree Corners. Artificial turf solves every single one of those problems. It stays put, drains beautifully (even with our humid summers), looks sharp year-round, and transforms your pool deck into a space you'll actually want to spend time in. We've installed hundreds of pools across Gwinnett County, and the homeowners in 30071, 30092, and 30093 consistently tell us the same thing: they wish they'd done it sooner. Your pool is an investment. Your deck should match that.
Norcross sits on notoriously heavy Gwinnett clay, which means drainage is everything around your pool. Gravel compounds this problem—it settles into the clay, creates low spots, and collects water. Artificial turf with proper base preparation actually improves drainage compared to gravel, especially during our hot, humid summers. The neighborhoods around Historic Norcross and toward Peachtree Corners have varying lot sizes, but most residential pools we work on have decent deck space (typically 200–400 square feet). Sun exposure varies depending on whether your yard faces north or south, but our turf handles Georgia's intense afternoon sun without fading or getting too hot underfoot. HOA rules in some Peachtree Corners developments require low-maintenance landscaping—turf checks that box instantly. Installation in this area usually takes one day; we haul out the gravel, prep the clay base with proper compaction and drainage, and lay the turf. The clay actually provides a solid, stable foundation once we've done the prep work right.
Not like concrete or dark pavers do. Modern pool turf has cooling technology built in, and it stays significantly cooler than stone or decking. In full Georgia sun, you can comfortably walk barefoot on it. We've installed hundreds of pools across 30071 and 30092—families with kids use these decks all summer without issues. Gravel, by contrast, gets scorching and kicks up dust constantly.
Yes, better than gravel actually. Clay holds water, so gravel just sinks and pools. We install turf over a engineered base layer (crushed stone and geo-fabric) that directs water away from your pool and into proper drainage. This prevents the muddy, sunken-in look you see around older pool decks in Norcross and Peachtree Corners.
Gravel needs raking, weeding, and replacement every few years—especially after our heavy spring rains. Turf? Brush it occasionally, hose it down, done. No weeds, no settling, no muddy footprints into your pool. Most Norcross homeowners tell us they save time and money within the first year.
Absolutely. We work around finished pools all the time. We remove the old gravel (or whatever surface is there), prep the clay base for proper drainage, and install the turf without draining your pool. The whole job typically takes a day. We're familiar with the lot layouts and HOA requirements across Gwinnett County.
