New Construction Home — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Building a new home in Rome? Then you're probably thinking about that backyard pool area, and honestly, real grass around a pool deck is a headache nobody needs. Between the clay soil we've got here in Floyd County and Rome's humidity patterns, you're looking at constant mud, algae blooms, and bare patches where kids run back and forth. Artificial turf changes the game. Your pool area stays clean, dry, and safe year-round—no more tracking wet dirt into the house, no more slippery moss growing on the deck. We've installed pool-side turf for homes all over Rome, from the Between the Rivers neighborhood down to Mount Berry, and the feedback is always the same: it's one of those upgrades that pays for itself in maintenance time alone. New construction is actually the perfect moment to plan this in. Your builder's landscape crew can coordinate with us to get it right the first time, and you avoid the expense of removing sod later. Our turf looks real, drains fast (crucial with our river-valley clay), and holds up to chlorine splash and constant foot traffic better than anything living possibly could.
Here's what makes Rome different: that clay soil running through Floyd County means natural drainage is sluggish, especially in the periodic flooding zones near the Etowah and Oostanaula confluence. Your pool area sits in a low spot? We engineer the base with proper grading and perforated backing so water moves away, not pools underneath. Sun exposure varies wildly depending on your lot—some homes in East Rome get full afternoon heat, others near the Berry College grounds have mature tree cover. We assess shade patterns during the consultation and select turf fiber and infill specifically for your exposure. New construction homes in Rome often sit on larger lots, which gives us room to create that resort-feel around a pool without the maintenance nightmare. HOA restrictions in some neighborhoods can be strict about artificial surfaces, but we'll verify before installation. The real win with pool turf is durability: chlorine and salt water damage natural grass, but our commercial-grade synthetics laugh at it. Installation in a new-build is straightforward since we're usually working with fresh, compacted soil rather than established lawns.
Yes—that's actually where turf shines compared to living grass. Chlorine and salt both degrade natural sod within weeks. Our pool-grade turf is treated to resist chemical damage, and the drainage system lets spill-through rinse away. After seasons of pool parties, your turf still looks fresh. Regular rinsing helps, but it's not like maintaining a lawn.
It's safe and actually cooler than concrete or pavers in mid-summer sun. We use lighter-colored fibers and engineered infill that stays cooler than dark asphalt. Kids can run, fall, and play without the scraped-up knees natural grass would cause (especially on clay-heavy soil where grass gets thin and packed down fast).
Perfect timing. We coordinate after your builder finishes grading and utilities. No need to wait for grass to establish—we install once, and your pool area is ready immediately. For new builds in Between the Rivers or East Rome, this avoids replacing failed sod later and saves weeks of waiting.
That's our specialty here. We build a perforated base layer and angle grading so water drains away from your pool deck and house. Floyd County clay is exactly why we don't just lay turf on top—proper engineering keeps your pool area dry even during heavy rain or valley-floor moisture.
