Side Yard — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
There's something special about having a pristine outdoor space in a town like Thomaston—where neighbors still know each other and a well-maintained yard says something about who you are. If you've got a pool or are thinking about adding one to your side yard, artificial turf is honestly one of the smartest moves you can make around here. The clay soil that defines Upson County can be stubborn with natural grass, especially in those wet stretches, and nobody wants to deal with mud tracks leading into the house or constant brown patches. Artificial pool turf gives you that clean, resort-like feel without fighting against what Mother Nature handed us. It stays green year-round, drains beautifully (which matters in our climate), and your kids can play poolside without tearing up the ground. We've installed hundreds of pools yards across Georgia, and Thomaston homeowners consistently tell us the same thing: they wish they'd done it sooner. It's not just about looks—it's about reclaiming your outdoor space and actually using it instead of worrying about maintenance.
Upson County's clay-heavy soil is both a blessing and a challenge. Natural grass struggles here because water either pools on top or gets locked in below the surface, creating that perpetual muddy situation. Artificial turf solves this completely—our systems include proper drainage layers underneath that work with your existing soil rather than against it. Thomaston's side yards tend to be modest in size, which actually works in your favor for turf installation. You're looking at a faster install timeline and more budget-friendly pricing on smaller areas. Sun exposure varies depending on whether your pool area faces the tree lines common near the downtown corridor or sits more open. We assess shade patterns and choose turf backing and infill specifically for your yard's microclimate. Most Upson County properties don't have restrictive HOA rules like you'd find in suburban metros, so you've got flexibility in design. The rural character of the area means installation access is usually straightforward—no narrow alley constraints like in denser neighborhoods. We typically complete pool turf jobs in Thomaston in one to two days, weather permitting.
Absolutely. Our drainage systems are engineered specifically for Southeast clay soil. Water drains through the turf and backing into a prepared base layer, preventing the pooling issues you'd get with natural grass in Upson County. The turf fibers dry quickly even after heavy rain, so you're back to using your pool area without worrying about mud or soggy ground.
Modern artificial pool turf is designed to withstand chlorine, salt, and UV exposure. That said, we recommend rinsing the turf occasionally if you're splashing chemicals heavily. In Thomaston's climate, our turf materials hold up exceptionally well. We can recommend infill options that pair best with your pool's chemical system.
Side yards are typically smaller spaces, so your overall cost is reasonable—usually a fraction of what a full lawn would run. Since we're based about an hour away, we can service Thomaston efficiently without inflating travel charges. Most homeowners find the long-term savings on water, chemicals, and maintenance justify the upfront investment quickly.
Yes. We work around existing pools all the time. Our crews are experienced in tight spaces and can navigate the typical downtown Thomaston properties with mature landscaping and established pools. We'll coordinate access, protect your existing hardscape, and handle removal of old sod if needed.
