New Construction — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Building a new home in Smyrna? One of the smartest moves we see homeowners make is installing artificial turf around their pool area before they even break ground on the deck or patio. It saves headaches down the road. Smyrna's neighborhoods—especially around Vinings and the Market Village area—have some beautiful pools going in, and the ones that look polished year-round are the ones with quality artificial turf installed during construction. Real grass around a pool becomes a maintenance nightmare: it dies from chlorine splash, gets matted down from foot traffic, and turns into a muddy mess when Georgia's humidity kicks in. Artificial turf handles all of that without breaking a sweat. You get that finished, landscape-magazine look without the weekly mowing, chemical treatments, or brown patches. We've been installing pool turf in the Smyrna area for years, and we know exactly what works with Cobb County's clay soil and the specific drainage patterns you're dealing with in 30080 and 30082. Whether your new construction is a modest backyard oasis or a sprawling resort-style setup, we'll make sure your pool surround is ready to perform from day one.
Smyrna's building sites sit on heavy Cobb County clay, which means drainage around your pool area needs real attention. During installation, we excavate deeper than we might in sandier soil and install proper base layers so water doesn't pool where you don't want it. The clay actually works in your favor for artificial turf stability—it holds the base material down beautifully once it's compacted. Sun exposure varies depending on whether you're in Vinings or closer to the Market Village area. Some pools get hammered by afternoon heat; others have tree shade that shifts throughout the day. We choose turf pile heights and materials based on your specific microclimate. Most Smyrna pools sit on properties sized between a quarter and half-acre, so we're usually working with 400–800 square feet of turf around the deck. That's a sweet spot for new construction—big enough to make a real impact, but manageable for proper installation. We also pay attention to HOA guidelines if you're in a gated community or established neighborhood. Some have specific landscape rules about turf color or pile type, and we make sure we're compliant before we start.
Absolutely. This is actually the ideal time. We coordinate with your builder to get in after grading but before heavy traffic from other trades. Cobb County clay needs proper base preparation, and doing it during construction means we control the timeline and protect the installation. We'll fence off the area or work around your builder's schedule to avoid conflicts.
Clay compacts well, which is great for turf stability, but it doesn't absorb water quickly. We install a gravel base layer and perforated underlayment to channel water away from the pool deck. This prevents the puddles and soft spots you'd see with grass, and keeps your turf looking firm and safe year-round.
We see a lot of preference for natural greens in Vinings and the Market Village area—colors that blend with mature landscaping. Some homeowners go for lighter tones to reflect summer heat. We'll bring samples to your site and show you how different colors look in your specific light conditions throughout the day.
A typical pool surround installation takes 2–4 days depending on size and site conditions. We're only about 18 minutes from most Smyrna addresses, so scheduling is flexible. During new construction, we often work around your builder's timeline, which gives us the best window for proper base preparation.
