Color Options — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A lot of Smyrna homeowners we talk to have the same dream: a backyard pool that actually gets used year-round, surrounded by a beautiful deck area that doesn't turn into a muddy mess every time it rains. That's where artificial turf around your pool makes all the difference. Whether you're in the Vinings area or closer to Market Village, the clay-heavy soil in Cobb County has a way of creating drainage headaches that real grass just can't handle. Artificial pool turf solves that. It stays green, stays clean, and gives you a soft surface that's actually pleasant to walk on in bare feet—no slippery algae, no stains from chlorine splash, no bald patches from heavy foot traffic. We've installed dozens of pool decks across Smyrna and the surrounding neighborhoods, and we've learned exactly what works in this climate and soil type. The color options available today are nothing like the fake-looking turf from ten years ago. You've got everything from premium playground-grade turf to high-end synthetic grass that looks almost indistinguishable from real sod. The choice really comes down to your budget, your aesthetic preference, and how much foot traffic your pool area actually gets.
Smyrna sits in Cobb County, which means you're dealing with dense clay soil that doesn't drain the way you'd like around a pool deck. Real grass struggles here, especially in shaded areas where the sun doesn't dry things out quickly. That's the first reason artificial turf works so well—it eliminates the standing water problem that plagues natural lawns after a heavy rain. You also get UV-resistant fibers that hold their color in the intense Georgia sun, which beats down hard on south-facing pools. Many neighborhoods in Vinings and around Market Village have HOA guidelines about landscape appearance, but artificial turf almost always meets those requirements since it looks manicured year-round. Installation around pools requires proper base preparation—we typically use a compacted stone foundation to ensure water flows away from your pool's perimeter rather than pooling underneath the turf. Smyrna's summer heat and humidity also mean chlorine splash from poolside furniture and swimmers can fade or damage natural grass; synthetic materials laugh at that. We handle the slope and grading to make sure your pool deck functions properly while looking polished.
Most homeowners in the area go with darker greens—forest or hunter green—because they hide dirt and chlorine stains better than lighter shades. The Cobb County clay does show on lighter turf. If you want something that mimics natural grass more closely, we carry premium options with multiple blade colors that look incredibly realistic. Your pool's surroundings matter too; if you have trees, a darker turf hides shadows. Full-sun pools look great with brighter greens.
It does warm up more than natural grass, but we use high-quality infill materials and premium fibers designed specifically for hot climates that minimize heat buildup. Smyrna gets intense sun, so choosing a turf with cooling technology makes a real difference if barefoot comfort is a priority. We'll discuss options based on your pool's sun exposure and foot traffic patterns.
Much less than natural grass. You'll brush it occasionally to keep the blade fibers upright, rinse it when you notice chlorine deposits, and pick up debris. Cobb County's clay soil won't create drainage issues under the turf like it does with real grass, so you won't deal with algae growth or compaction problems. Most of our Smyrna clients spend under an hour per month on maintenance.
Absolutely, and honestly, shaded pool decks are where artificial turf really shines in Smyrna. Many yards in Vinings and around Jonquil Park have mature trees that prevent real grass from thriving. Synthetic turf looks great whether it's in full sun or dappled shade, and you don't have to worry about moss or bare patches. We'll make sure drainage is handled properly so water doesn't accumulate under the turf in those shadier spots.
