Pet Safe — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Your pool deck in Waleska sees a lot of action—especially if you've got kids, dogs, or both splashing around all summer. That's where artificial turf around your pool area becomes a game-changer. Unlike natural grass, which turns into a muddy mess in the Reinhardt University area's clay-heavy soil after a swim, synthetic turf stays clean, safe, and comfortable underfoot. No more slipping on wet grass, no more tracking dirt into the house, and your pets won't dig up patches trying to cool off in the shade. We've worked with plenty of homeowners in Cherokee County who initially worried that artificial turf near water would feel cheap or look fake—but modern pool-side turf has come a long way. It drains instantly, stays cool in Georgia's summer heat, and holds up beautifully around chlorine and salt systems. Whether you're in the Funk Heritage Center neighborhood or closer to the mountain transition zone, the durability and low maintenance of quality turf makes it worth the investment. No mowing, no brown patches, no fighting with the local clay soil to keep grass alive.
Waleska sits in that tricky zone where Cherokee County's red clay transitions into mountain terrain, which means drainage is everything for pool areas. If you've tried growing grass near your pool, you've probably noticed it either drowns after heavy rain or gets stressed during dry spells because the clay won't let water move freely. That's actually perfect for artificial turf—it thrives in poorly draining spots because the backing is designed to channel water away fast. Your pool deck likely gets solid sun exposure, especially in the afternoon when the hottest part of the day hits. Modern synthetic turf won't get uncomfortably hot like asphalt or dark pavers, but we do recommend a lighter-colored backing if your pool area gets 6+ hours of direct sun daily. Pets love artificial turf because it's soft on their paws and they won't tear it up like natural grass. If you've got dogs that jump in and out of the pool constantly, turf won't develop bare patches or mud traps. Installation around pool equipment and varying yard sizes in the Reinhardt area is straightforward—we custom-fit the turf to your deck shape, and proper seaming ensures water doesn't collect underneath.
Absolutely. Waleska's mountain-clay transition means your natural yard probably has poor drainage. Synthetic pool turf is designed with a permeable backing that channels water away from the pool deck while preventing mud and puddles. Unlike grass, it won't stay soggy after rain or create bare spots from poor drainage. We install it with proper grading so water flows away from your pool equipment and foundation.
Yes—it's one of the top reasons we install pool turf in Waleska homes with pets. It's non-toxic, won't trap bacteria like wet grass does, and provides excellent traction so kids and dogs won't slip getting in and out of the water. No sharp edges, no chemical treatments needed, and it won't stain paws or clothing like natural grass can.
Chlorine and salt won't damage quality synthetic turf—it's resistant to both. A quick rinse with fresh water after heavy pool use is all you need. Unlike natural grass that gets bleached and dies, artificial turf actually stays cleaner because algae and mold have a harder time growing on it. Your pets will appreciate not tracking chlorine all over the house.
We custom-fit artificial turf to any pool deck shape or size, whether you're near Reinhardt University or in a more rural Waleska lot. We work around equipment, stairs, and uneven terrain common to the area. Our team handles site prep on clay soil, proper drainage setup, and seaming—the whole job takes just a few days.
