This Week Install — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Pine Lake sits in this beautiful pocket of DeKalb County where waterfront living meets suburban convenience. Your backyard probably overlooks the lake or sits just blocks away, which means one thing: you want your pool area looking sharp without the constant maintenance headache. That's where artificial turf comes in. We've installed synthetic grass around dozens of pools in the Pine Lake community, and honestly, it's the smartest move homeowners make once they realize how much time they're spending on upkeep. The clay soil around here doesn't drain like you'd want it to, and regular sod struggles with the shade patterns created by mature trees and the humidity that hangs around the lake. Artificial turf eliminates those problems entirely. No more mud tracked into the house after a swim. No brown patches from chlorine splashes. No weeds pushing through after heavy rain. Your kids can jump straight from pool to grass without slipping on wet sod, and you get to spend your weekends actually enjoying the lake view instead of pushing a mower. We can typically turn around a pool-area installation in Pine Lake within a week—sometimes faster if you need it done this week. The turf we use is rated for high-traffic areas and drainage, so water from your pool deck flows through cleanly instead of pooling up on top.
DeKalb clay is no joke. It's dense, it holds water, and it doesn't drain the way traditional sod needs it to. When you've got a pool in Pine Lake, chlorine runoff and splash zones create a pretty harsh environment for natural grass anyway. Add the clay underneath, and you've got a recipe for soggy, dead patches by mid-summer. The lake proximity also means you're dealing with higher humidity and occasional shade from mature oaks and pines that surround most of the community. Artificial turf actually thrives in these conditions. We install a perforated base layer that lets water drain straight through—no puddles, no swampy feeling underfoot. Pine Lake yards tend to be modest in size compared to some Atlanta suburbs, so a pool deck retrofit usually runs 300–800 square feet. That's actually ideal for turf installation; we can get in, prep the base, and have you enjoying it fast. Most Pine Lake properties are part of the community association, which has landscape guidelines, but artificial turf is widely accepted because it maintains a neat, consistent appearance year-round. One thing we always check: any existing drainage issues toward the lake. We make sure our installation enhances drainage rather than fighting against it.
Absolutely. Our turf is specifically designed to resist chlorine, salt, and UV damage. Pine Lake homeowners have been using it for years without degradation. The infill we use is antimicrobial, so even with repeated splash and chemical exposure, you won't get algae growth or odors. Rinse it down occasionally with fresh water if you want, but it's not required. The turf stays vibrant and safe for barefoot use.
Yes—that's our specialty. We're only 30 minutes from Pine Lake, and we typically schedule pool-deck installs within 5–7 days. If you need it done sooner, call us directly. Most jobs take 1–2 days depending on prep work and square footage. We'll confirm availability and lock in your dates once we see the site.
The clay actually makes prep work more important, not harder. We excavate to proper depth, compact the existing clay, and install a drainage base layer that prevents water from sitting underneath. This is standard procedure for us, and it's why artificial turf performs so well in Pine Lake despite the heavy soil. The end result is better drainage than you'd get with sod.
The community association allows artificial turf, especially in functional areas like pool decks. We recommend checking your specific covenants, but we've installed in dozens of Pine Lake homes without issue. The turf looks natural, maintains a consistent appearance, and actually improves property aesthetics compared to patchy, chlorine-damaged sod.
