Starter Home — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Your backyard pool is the crown jewel of your Savannah home—but keeping it surrounded by lush, green grass in this coastal climate is honestly exhausting. Between the humidity, salt air, and sandy loam soil that runs through neighborhoods like Ardsley Park and the Southside, natural grass struggles year-round. You're watering constantly, fighting brown patches, and still dealing with mud tracked into the house. That's where pool turf changes everything. Artificial grass gives you that pristine poolside look without the sweat equity. It drains beautifully (crucial here where humidity hangs heavy), it won't fade under our intense summer sun, and it handles the salt air that corrodes everything else in Chatham County. Whether you're enjoying cocktails near Forsyth Park or hosting family gatherings in Isle of Hope, your pool area deserves a surface that's as low-maintenance as it is gorgeous. We've installed artificial turf around dozens of pools across Savannah's neighborhoods, and homeowners consistently tell us the same thing: they can't believe they waited so long. No more algae stains on natural grass, no more bare spots, just a clean, safe, inviting space where your family actually wants to spend time.
Savannah's coastal sandy loam is beautiful to look at, but it's rough on turf. Our sandy soil drains quickly—which sounds good until you realize it won't hold nutrients or moisture the way clay-based soil does. Natural grass in the Historic District, Southside, and Isle of Hope constantly struggles with this imbalance. Add in the salt-laden air blowing off the water, and you've got a recipe for premature wear and discoloration. Artificial pool turf eliminates those problems entirely. It sits on top of your existing soil, uses proper subsurface drainage to handle our high humidity, and won't degrade from salt exposure. The Savannah sun is intense—our UV index peaks in summer—which would normally burn out fake grass. Quality turf systems are built with UV stabilizers specifically for this. Around pools, you'll want turf with excellent drainage and a slightly textured surface for safety (wet, smooth surfaces are slipping hazards). Most starter homes in Savannah's ZIP codes 31401–31410 have modest yard dimensions, so installation is typically straightforward. We work around existing landscaping, pool decking, and fencing without major demolition. One note: some neighborhoods have landscape guidelines, so check with your HOA before scheduling—we can help navigate that conversation.
Yes, darker turf can reach 150°F+ in direct summer sun. That's why we install light-colored or blended artificial grass in pool areas—it reflects heat better and stays comfortable underfoot. Most of our Savannah clients choose tan or sage tones that match the coastal aesthetic anyway. Plus, pool decking and shade structures keep high-traffic zones cooler. It's worth discussing during your on-site consultation.
It actually drains better than natural grass. We install a perforated subsurface that directs water down and away from the pool area, preventing puddles and algae. Our sandy loam soil is naturally porous, so drainage works in our favor. In heavy rain, artificial turf prevents the mud and debris issues you'd get with natural grass, keeping your pool cleaner and your deck safer.
Quality turf systems last 15–20 years with proper maintenance. The salt air won't damage the grass fibers themselves, but it can corrode metal landscape edging or inadequate subsurface materials. We use marine-grade fasteners and corrosion-resistant components throughout our installations in coastal Savannah neighborhoods like Isle of Hope and the Southside.
Absolutely. It's actually more durable than natural grass for high-traffic pet areas. We can install specialized drainage in zones where dogs frequent, and the surface is easy to rinse clean. Many Savannah homeowners appreciate that there's no mud being tracked inside from wet paws—a huge bonus in our humid climate.
