New Construction Home — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Building a new home in Pine Lake gives you something most Georgia homeowners dream about—a fresh start with your outdoor space. Your backyard is blank canvas, and if you're thinking about adding a pool, artificial turf around it makes real sense for this community. The Pine Lake area sits on clay-heavy soil that stays damp near the water, which means natural grass struggles here. Synthetic turf solves that problem entirely. You get a low-maintenance surface that drains beautifully, stays green year-round, and gives you genuine poolside comfort without the mud, algae stains, or constant upkeep. New construction is actually the perfect time to install pool turf—we can build it right into your landscape plan while your yard is still being graded. A lot of Pine Lake homeowners are choosing artificial turf specifically because of our local soil conditions and the fact that pool areas take a beating. Unlike natural grass, which gets compacted, worn, and slippery around wet areas, quality synthetic turf stays safe, looks sharp, and handles the daily traffic of family and guests. We're just 30 minutes away in DeKalb County, which means faster installation and easier service calls if you ever need maintenance or adjustments.
Pine Lake's location on DeKalb clay presents a unique situation for pool landscaping. The soil here retains moisture—great for the lake, less great for traditional lawn around pool decks. Natural grass in wet, clay-based soil compacts easily, develops bare spots, and becomes a slip hazard when wet. Artificial turf eliminates these problems entirely. Our synthetic options drain water directly through the backing, so puddles never form, and the clay underneath stays stable. Sun exposure varies across Pine Lake depending on tree cover and your home's orientation near the water. Some lots have mature oaks providing afternoon shade; others get full southern exposure. We choose turf pile heights and densities based on your specific light conditions—shade-facing areas get slightly different specs than full-sun decking. The Pine Lake community tends toward mid-size residential lots, so most pool installations pair 400–800 square feet of perimeter turf around the actual pool structure. Installation timing matters here too. Since DeKalb clay can shift slightly with seasonal moisture changes, we wait until your home's grading is fully settled before laying turf, usually 4–6 weeks after initial site work. This prevents settling issues later.
Absolutely. The backing layer on quality pool turf is engineered for drainage—water flows through it immediately and into the clay below. Unlike natural grass, which gets waterlogged and slippery on clay, synthetic turf stays dry to the touch and safe for wet feet. We've installed dozens of pools in DeKalb County with the same soil conditions, and drainage performance is consistently excellent.
No. Modern pool turf uses UV-stabilized fibers that resist sun damage and chlorine exposure. The proximity to Pine Lake and its reflective water actually means more consistent light, not harsher conditions. We select turf grades specifically rated for pool environments—they hold color beautifully for 10+ years even with regular chemical exposure.
Yes, and it's ideal. We coordinate with your builder's grading schedule, waiting for final soil settlement before installation. This prevents settling issues and ensures the turf sits perfectly level. Most new construction timelines allow us to finish turf work 4–6 weeks after grading completion, right on schedule with your move-in.
Pricing depends on square footage and turf grade selected. Most Pine Lake pool decks run 400–800 square feet, which typically falls in the mid-range cost bracket. We provide free on-site estimates after assessing soil conditions and sun exposure. New construction installations often qualify for package discounts when combined with other landscape work.
