New Construction Home — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Building a new home in Savannah? A pool surround is one of those features that can completely transform your backyard experience—especially when you choose artificial turf. In neighborhoods like Isle of Hope and Ardsley Park, where mature trees create dappled shade and the humidity runs high year-round, a natural grass deck becomes a constant maintenance headache. You're dealing with salt air from the coast, sandy loam that drains unevenly, and the kind of moisture that breeds mold and fungus. Artificial pool turf eliminates those problems entirely. You get a non-slip surface that stays green through summer downpours, won't turn into a mud pit after a quick rain, and requires zero chemicals or fertilizer runoff near your pool water. Whether your new construction sits in the Historic District, on the Southside, or near the quieter corridors of Chatham County, pool-grade turf gives you a resort-style outdoor space that you can actually enjoy instead of constantly maintaining.
Savannah's coastal sandy loam is beautiful to look at but brutal on lawn health. The soil drains so fast that natural grass gets stressed during dry spells, yet humidity creates fungal issues during wet stretches. Near River Street and other low-lying areas, you're also dealing with occasional standing water and salt spray that damages traditional sod. For new-construction pool decks, this matters enormously. Artificial turf doesn't care about pH imbalance or poor drainage—it sits on a proper base system that we engineer specifically for Savannah's conditions. We account for the water table and humid subtropical climate by ensuring excellent subsurface drainage. Yard size varies widely here: Historic District properties tend toward smaller, manicured lots with defined HOA guidelines, while Ardsley Park and Isle of Hope offer larger canvases. Both require different turf specifications. We also factor in shade patterns created by live oaks and Spanish moss—artificial turf handles partial shade perfectly, unlike natural grass, which struggles under those dense tree canopies. Installation timing is flexible year-round in Savannah, though late fall through winter gives us the cleanest prep conditions.
Absolutely. Coastal salt spray and humidity are exactly why artificial turf thrives in Savannah. Unlike natural grass, it won't develop fungal infections or brown out from salt exposure. The material we use is UV-stabilized for intense Georgia summers and naturally antimicrobial, so mold and mildew don't gain a foothold. We install proper drainage beneath the turf so standing water never becomes an issue, even during the heavy downpours we see here.
Yes, and we design for it during installation. Savannah's sandy loam drains quickly on its own, but pool decks need engineered subsurface drainage to prevent water pooling around the pool perimeter. We compact the base, add a permeable underlay, and slope the turf properly. This is standard for all new-construction pool installations here, especially in lower-lying areas near the Historic District or closer to the water table.
Modern artificial pool turf is designed with heat-reflective technology and typically runs 10–15 degrees cooler than natural grass or pavers in full sun. We also offer infill options that further reduce surface temperature. During Savannah summers, it stays genuinely comfortable for kids and pets running barefoot from the pool deck.
Most HOAs in these Savannah neighborhoods approve artificial turf for pool decks and entertainment areas, since it's clearly not a lawn replacement—it's hardscaping. We've worked on dozens of new builds here and can guide you through any approval process. It's worth checking your specific HOA guidelines, but pool-turf typically falls outside strict lawn-only rules.
