New Construction Home — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Building a new home in Stone Mountain? Your backyard is about to become one of your favorite spaces—especially if you're planning a pool area. Here's the thing: a traditional grass lawn around a pool deck in Stone Mountain's climate is a headache waiting to happen. Between the clay-heavy soil that sits above that granite outcrop and the unpredictable Georgia weather, you're looking at constant maintenance, muddy footprints tracked everywhere, and grass that struggles in the shade your pool structure creates. Artificial turf solves all of that. We've installed hundreds of pools in the Stone Mountain area—from the Village neighborhoods to Smoke Rise—and the homeowners who go with premium pool turf never look back. It stays green year-round, drains beautifully (crucial in our mixed-drainage soil conditions), and gives you that resort-quality feel without the weekly upkeep. Your new construction timeline is tight, and artificial turf installs fast. You can have a fully finished pool area ready to enjoy while your neighbors are still fighting with sod and fungus.
Stone Mountain's terrain presents unique opportunities for pool turf installation. The DeKalb clay base combined with our granite outcrop means natural drainage can be inconsistent—something we account for in every pool surround project we do. Artificial turf actually performs better than natural grass here because we can engineer proper subsurface drainage that works with (not against) your soil composition. Sun exposure varies significantly depending on your lot orientation and proximity to Stone Mountain Park's tree cover. Some properties in the Village get afternoon shade that would kill natural grass; pool turf delivers consistent appearance regardless. Newer construction homes in Smoke Rise tend to have larger lot sizes, which means more flexibility in turf layout and easier equipment access during installation. HOA guidelines in your neighborhood may have specific requirements about turf aesthetics—we're familiar with Stone Mountain's landscape standards and can recommend the right pile height and color blend that satisfies your community while maximizing durability around high-traffic pool areas. Installation around new construction is actually ideal because we can coordinate with your builder's grading and drainage work, ensuring everything integrates seamlessly before your final walkthrough.
Absolutely. Our installation process accounts for DeKalb's clay conditions by installing proper subsurface drainage and base layers. Unlike natural grass, which struggles with the poor drainage patterns common near our granite outcrops, artificial turf wicks water away efficiently. We've completed dozens of pools in Stone Mountain Village and Smoke Rise without any pooling or saturation issues.
We typically complete pool surround installations in 2–4 days, depending on the square footage. If your new construction home is in Stone Mountain, we can coordinate with your builder's schedule. We're 30 minutes from the area, so we're responsive to urgent timelines. Most homeowners have their pool-ready landscape finished weeks before traditional sod even germinates.
Georgia summer heat is intense, but premium pool turf is specifically engineered for our climate. The material we install reflects heat rather than absorbing it, and the subsurface drainage keeps things cool beneath the surface. Barefoot comfort around the pool is excellent, and you won't deal with the bare patches and heat stress that kill natural grass in mid-July.
Upfront cost is higher than sod, but the math shifts fast. You're eliminating monthly maintenance, fungicide treatments common in our humid climate, and constant repairs. Most Stone Mountain homeowners recoup the investment within 3–4 years through reduced maintenance. For new construction, it's a smart long-term value addition.
