How To Install — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Pool season in Sandy Springs means one thing: you want your backyard ready to go, not tangled up in mud and dead grass patches. Artificial turf around your pool deck solves that problem in a way natural grass never can. Between the mature trees canopying Riverside and Powers Ferry, the thick Fulton clay soil that stays wet half the year, and the foot traffic that comes with entertaining by the water, real sod just doesn't hold up. We've installed pool-side turf in Mount Vernon, near City Springs, and throughout the Chattahoochee River neighborhoods—and the difference is immediate. No more algae-slicked walkways. No more bare spots from chlorine splash. No more raking leaves out of soggy ground come fall. Artificial turf gives you a clean, dry, maintenance-free zone around your pool that actually improves how you use your space. It drains fast, stays cool underfoot, and looks sharp year-round without the seasonal die-off that hits natural grass hard in our climate. Whether you're in 30328, 30342, or 30350, we can walk you through what makes pool turf different from lawn turf—and why the installation matters more when water is involved.
Sandy Springs' urban Fulton clay is beautiful for mature landscaping but brutal on pool decks. That heavy clay holds moisture, which means water pools around your deck for days after rain or a good pool party. Natural grass in those conditions breeds fungus and creates slip hazards. Artificial pool turf is engineered differently than standard lawn turf—it has perforated backing and sits on a base system designed to shed water immediately, even in our humid summers. The mature tree canopy in Riverside and Powers Ferry actually works in your favor here. Dappled shade keeps synthetic turf cooler and extends its lifespan. Full-sun pools near Mount Vernon or closer to City Springs need UV-stabilized fibers, which we always specify for those exposures. Most Sandy Springs pools sit on quarter-to-half-acre lots, so you're looking at 200–400 square feet of deck turf—enough to make a real impact without overwhelming the budget. HOA rules in some neighborhoods require softer landing zones for safety, and pool turf meets those specs easily. Installation timing matters here too: spring and early summer are ideal because it gives the base time to settle before our heaviest rain season kicks in July. The clay soil needs proper grading and drainage prep—something we build into every quote because skipping it leads to water backup under the turf.
Yes—that's exactly what it's made for. Standard turf gets bleached and brittle around chlorinated water. Pool-grade artificial turf uses chemical-resistant fibers and a permeable backing so chlorine drains straight through instead of pooling underneath. We've installed it at dozens of pools in 30328 and 30342 without degradation. Regular rinsing after heavy use keeps it looking new.
This is critical. We don't just lay turf on clay—we build a drainage system first. That means proper grading, a perforated base layer, and sometimes a small drainage trench if your lot slopes toward the house. Our Fulton clay needs this prep work. Without it, water sits under the turf and causes problems. With it, water moves fast, even during our summer thunderstorms.
You *can* do it yourself, but the base prep is where professionals earn their fee. Getting the grade right, compacting the sub-base correctly, and ensuring drainage flows away from the pool—those mistakes are expensive to fix. Our team knows Sandy Springs soil and can finish a 300-square-foot pool deck in a day. The 28-minute drive from our HQ means we're fast to your location and familiar with local conditions.
Quality pool turf lasts 12–15 years in our climate, sometimes longer. Sandy Springs sun exposure varies (heavy shade in tree-lined Riverside, full sun near Mount Vernon), so lifespan depends on location. UV-rated fibers handle our intense summer sun. Proper drainage—the foundation of every install—prevents premature backing breakdown that cuts life short.
