New Construction — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Building a new pool in Statham? You're making a smart choice for your family—and adding artificial turf around it is one of the best decisions you can make right after the concrete sets. Here's the thing: Barrow County clay doesn't drain like sandy soil does, which means a real grass pool deck turns into a mud pit pretty quickly, especially during Georgia's humid summers. We've installed pool turf for dozens of homeowners in the Statham area, and the transformation is always the same—zero mud tracked into the house, no more brown patches from chlorine splash, and your kids can play barefoot without worrying about slipping on wet grass. Synthetic turf gives you a soft, safe surface that stays cool underfoot, drains perfectly even with our clay base, and looks pristine year-round without the weekly mowing and fertilizer routine. Whether you're in town near Statham Downtown or out in the quieter neighborhoods surrounding the area, a pool turf installation takes about 3–5 days and pays for itself in maintenance savings within a few seasons. We handle the entire process—site prep, drainage considerations for your specific lot, and installation—so your new pool area is guest-ready and worry-free from day one.
Statham's Barrow County clay is beautiful, but it's not your friend when it comes to water drainage around a pool. That heavy, compacted clay means standing water and soft spots are real concerns if you're relying on natural grass. Our installation process accounts for this by adding a proper base layer and perforated drainage system underneath your turf, so water moves away from the pool area and your deck stays solid and safe. Sun exposure varies depending on where your property sits—some homes near Statham Downtown get afternoon shade from mature oaks, while properties in the surrounding neighborhoods often have more open, sunny exposure. We assess your specific lot during the consultation because turf selection and infill type depend on how much direct sun your pool area receives. Most residential pools in Statham have modest to medium-sized decks, which means installation is straightforward and costs predictable. The clay base also means we're extra careful about grading and slope during prep work; proper pitch prevents water from pooling and extends the life of your turf dramatically. Because Barrow County gets decent rainfall and humidity, we also recommend an antimicrobial infill option—it keeps algae and odor down in our climate.
In peak summer, yes—synthetic turf can warm up. But here's the practical side: most pool days involve water anyway, and we can recommend lighter-colored turf options and infill choices that reflect more heat. Plus, your feet dry faster on turf than wet concrete, so the actual barefoot time is shorter. Many Statham homeowners we work with say their kids spend more time on the deck because there's no slipping risk.
Chlorine splash does fade real grass and kills it over time—we see that damage constantly. Our synthetic turf is chlorine-resistant by design, so splashing doesn't create brown patches or dead zones. Occasional rinsing with fresh water keeps everything looking sharp, and that's basically it. Your deck stays uniform in color year after year.
Absolutely. We install a engineered base with proper slope and perforated underdrain because Statham's clay compacts and holds water. Without that, you'd have soggy patches in spring and after heavy rain. The extra drainage layer is standard in our Statham installations—it's not optional if you want your turf to perform well long-term.
Typical pool turf installation runs 3–5 days depending on deck size and site conditions. We're flexible with new construction schedules and can coordinate with your pool builder. Most folks have us come in after the pool shell is complete but before final landscaping, so everything wraps up together.
