Side Yard — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Pool season in Oakwood runs long—Lake Lanier's proximity means plenty of warm months to enjoy backyard time. But here's what most homeowners in the Mundy Mill area and broader Oakwood community discover pretty quickly: wet grass around a pool becomes a maintenance nightmare. Standing water, mud tracked into the house, slippery patches that worry you when guests are over—it's frustrating, especially when you've invested in making that side yard a real destination. Artificial turf for pool areas solves this in ways that natural grass simply can't match. It drains instantly, stays green without watering during Georgia's dry spells, and gives you a clean, safe surface that doesn't turn into a swamp after the chlorine splashes. We've installed pool turf throughout Hall County, and Oakwood properties—whether they're backing up to Lake Lanier or nestled in quiet neighborhoods closer to Gainesville—all benefit from the same core advantage: a backyard that actually functions year-round, rain or shine. Your pool deck and surrounding yard shouldn't require constant repair and replanting. Modern artificial turf designed for pool areas is UV-stable, antimicrobial, and built to handle the chemical exposure and foot traffic that comes with regular use. It's not the plastic-looking stuff from 15 years ago. Whether you've got a compact side yard or a sprawling back-property setup, we can design and install a turf system that works with your space and your lifestyle.
Oakwood sits on Hall County clay—dense, heavy soil that drains poorly and compacts under foot traffic. Around pool areas, this becomes a real liability. Natural grass struggles in clay, and when you add chlorine runoff, pool chemicals, and constant wet conditions, you're looking at dead patches and weeds within a season. The Hall County growing season is long, which is great news for turf health, but clay soil means natural grass roots don't establish deeply. Summer heat near Lake Lanier can be intense, and while that's perfect pool weather, it stresses non-irrigated grass. Artificial turf eliminates this entirely. Installation around pools in the Oakwood area requires proper grading and drainage—we slope the base to direct water away from your pool chemistry and foundation. Most Oakwood side yards benefit from full-sun exposure, which our turf handles beautifully without fading concerns. We account for pool deck dimensions, equipment placement, and any HOA guidelines in the Mundy Mill neighborhoods. The clay subsoil actually makes installation straightforward; it's stable and doesn't shift. We bring in a professional base layer, secure the turf properly, and add infill that resists chlorine damage. Your finished pool area drains clean, stays safe underfoot, and requires zero chemical treatments or reseeding.
Modern pool-grade artificial turf is specifically designed to resist chlorine, bromine, and UV exposure. The backing and fibers don't degrade from chemical splash or runoff. Hall County pools see heavy use during warm months, and we've installed systems throughout Oakwood and Mundy Mill that handle chemical exposure beautifully for years. Rinse the turf occasionally with fresh water if you'd like, but it's not required.
Oakwood's Hall County clay compacts and holds water. Natural grass roots can't penetrate deeply, so standing water sits on the surface. Artificial turf sits on a engineered base layer we install specifically for drainage. Water flows through the turf fibers and base directly into the ground below, preventing puddles and mud. Around pools, this means your deck stays dry and safe immediately after use.
DIY installation around pools isn't recommended. Proper grading, base preparation, and drainage are critical, especially on Hall County clay. Professional installation ensures the turf slopes correctly away from your pool and house, the seams are secure, and infill is evenly distributed. We handle the whole process correctly so your investment lasts.
Cost depends on square footage, site conditions, and whether we're working with existing hardscape. Most Oakwood side yards run 200–400 square feet.
