Expert Installation — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Pool season in Rome doesn't last year-round, but your backyard can look resort-ready whenever you want to use it. Here's the thing: real grass around a pool deck is a maintenance nightmare. You've got chlorine splash, foot traffic from guests, soggy patches from the Oostanaula and Etowah river valleys' clay-heavy soil, and shade from mature trees in neighborhoods like Between the Rivers and East Rome that makes it hard for grass to thrive anyway. Artificial turf for pool areas solves all of that. It stays green, drains properly (crucial with our periodic flooding zones), won't stain from chlorine, and gives you that polished look without the weekly mowing. Whether you're in Mount Berry or closer to Berry College, a quality pool turf installation means your deck stays safe, attractive, and low-maintenance through summer entertaining season and beyond. We've worked with Rome homeowners long enough to understand what works in our specific climate and soil conditions—and what doesn't.
Rome's northwest Georgia river-valley clay is beautiful but challenging for traditional landscaping, especially poolside. That clay-based soil doesn't drain naturally the way sandy soils do, and during heavy rain—which we see fairly regularly—water pools up fast. This is exactly why artificial turf makes sense here. The backing system we install includes proper permeability so chlorine-treated water and rain both drain through instead of sitting on the surface. Shade is another Rome consideration. Between the Rivers, East Rome, and the areas around Mount Berry have established neighborhoods with mature oaks and pines that create dappled light. Real grass struggles in those conditions; turf doesn't care. We also account for the Myrtle Hill Cemetery area's typical lot sizes and the way homes are positioned relative to water features. Poolside turf takes a beating—foot traffic, potential chemical exposure, temperature shifts from sun reflection off water. We use turf grades and infill systems rated for high-traffic, wet environments. Your deck needs to handle both the climate and the use. A proper installation means base preparation that works with Rome's soil type, not against it.
Not if it's installed correctly. We use chlorine-resistant turf blends and properly permeable backing so chemical-treated water drains straight through rather than sitting on top. The real issue we see in Rome is improper drainage compounded by our clay soil—water pools and creates mold. Right installation prevents that.
Yes. Shade is actually ideal for turf around pools. Real grass would struggle under those mature oaks anyway. Our turf stays green and safe under partial shade, which is common in Rome's established neighborhoods. You avoid the bare patches and slippery moss that happens with grass in low-light poolside areas.
It's a factor we plan for. The river valleys and periodic flooding zones mean we build drainage and base systems that handle saturation without settling or washing out. Proper grading and permeability matter here more than in drier climates. We assess your specific lot and slope before design.
Most residential pool installations take 3–5 days depending on deck size and base condition. Spring and early summer are ideal—avoid our heavy rain windows. We can work around your pool schedule and coordinate with any ongoing home projects in your Rome neighborhood.
