Forever Home — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Savannah's pool season runs long, and that means your backyard is about to become the neighborhood gathering spot. But here's the thing—real grass around a pool in Chatham County is a losing battle. Our coastal sandy loam, the humidity that rolls in off the river, and salt-air exposure? They're all working against traditional lawn. Your grass dies back, you're constantly reseeding, and by mid-summer you're looking at a muddy mess around your pool deck. That's where artificial turf changes everything. In neighborhoods like Isle of Hope and Ardsley Park, we've installed pool-side turf for families who got tired of fighting the climate. No dead patches. No mud tracked into your home. No maintenance between now and when you're ready to move on from this place. Pool turf works differently than regular lawn—it's designed to handle constant foot traffic, drainage from splash-out, and the salt-laden air that's just part of living here in Savannah. Your deck stays dry, your yard stays green year-round, and your guests actually want to walk barefoot on it.
Savannah's sandy loam soil is excellent for drainage, which actually makes it perfect for artificial turf installation. We're not fighting clay or compacted earth—we're working with something that naturally sheds water. That said, the high humidity and salt exposure mean your turf backing and infill need to stand up to coastal conditions. We use marine-grade materials that won't break down from the salt air drifting over from River Street or the Intracoastal. Sun patterns matter more here than you might think. Homes in the Historic District or near Forsyth Park often have mature oak canopy—your pool area might be partly shaded, which is actually ideal for turf longevity. Full-sun yards around the Southside get hot, but that's not a problem for quality artificial turf; it just means we'll recommend infill that stays cooler underfoot. Zoning and HOA rules vary between 31401, 31404, 31405, and surrounding codes. Some neighborhoods have landscape guidelines we need to check before we start. Lot sizes in Savannah tend to be generous—Victorian estates, mid-century homes on larger lots—so pool areas have room to breathe. Installation timing here is flexible; we can work year-round, though late fall through early spring keeps crews comfortable while we're working.
Not if it's installed right. We use turf systems with UV-stabilized backing and marine-grade infill designed for coastal exposure. Rinse the turf occasionally with fresh water—same thing you'd do with pool deck furniture. Homes in Isle of Hope and closer to the water have been running our turf for years without degradation. The key is using products built for salt environments, not generic off-the-shelf options.
Chlorinated pool water won't damage quality artificial turf—it's designed to handle it. Occasional splash and drainage toward the turf is fine. If you're draining and refilling frequently, just rinse the turf after with fresh water. The drainage base we install keeps water from pooling under the surface, which is critical in Savannah's high-humidity climate. No waterlogging means no odor or mold issues.
Sandy loam actually makes our job easier. It drains naturally, so we're not dealing with soil compaction or water retention problems common in other regions. We prep the base, add our aggregate layer for proper drainage, and install. Savannah's soil type is one reason artificial turf thrives here—no mystery drainage issues like other parts of Georgia.
Absolutely. Whether you've got a compact courtyard in the Historic District or a sprawling Ardsley Park lot, we scale the installation to your space. Even 200 square feet around a plunge pool makes sense for artificial turf. It eliminates mud, handles foot traffic, and stays functional year-round. We've done projects in tight urban yards and large estate properties—size doesn't matter, results do.
