Spring Special — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Pool season in Waleska creeps up fast—one day you're planning spring cleanup, the next your family's itching to jump in. Here's the thing: that red clay soil around Cherokee County turns into a muddy nightmare the second guests track it poolside. We've installed artificial turf around dozens of pools in the Reinhardt University area and beyond, and the transformation is always the same. Your deck stays clean, your kids don't slip on wet concrete, and you get a soft, manicured look that actually feels good underfoot. Our spring special runs now through early May, and it's the perfect window to get your pool surround ready before Memorial Day weekend. We're based about 40 minutes south, so we know the mountain-clay transition zone here—how water drains, how the sun hits different exposures, where shade lingers under the pines. We'll come out, walk your yard with you, and show you exactly how synthetic turf solves the poolside mud and maintenance headache. No pressure, no nonsense. Just honest conversation about what works for Waleska yards.
Waleska's soil composition—that north Cherokee clay-to-mountain mix—creates some unique poolside challenges. Clay holds moisture, which means standing water around your pool deck and a slippery surface when wet. Artificial turf drains fast and stays grippy in exactly those conditions. Sun exposure varies wildly here depending on whether your lot backs up to the Reinhardt University woods or sits in one of the more open residential pockets. We design for that: if your pool area gets heavy afternoon sun, we'll spec a turf that resists UV fade better and stays cooler underfoot in July and August. If you're nestled under Georgia pines, drainage and mold prevention become the priority—we choose materials and infill that breathe even in shade. Most Waleska lots we work on range from half-acre to two acres, so pool surrounds are often larger than suburban yards; that means your investment in artificial turf can stretch across a real footprint and pay dividends year-round, not just in summer. Installation here typically takes 2–3 days depending on prep work. We remove old sod, grade for drainage slope, and compact base layers to handle our seasonal rain. No surprises.
It can warm up, sure—synthetic fiber absorbs sun like any dark surface. We manage that by choosing lighter-colored blades and selecting infill materials that stay cooler. Many of our Waleska clients add a shade sail or umbrella in their hottest zone anyway. The real win is that you're not re-seeding bare spots or dealing with clay dust—the turf handles heavy foot traffic in ways natural grass simply can't around a pool.
Clay compacts hard, which is actually good for base stability—we use that to our advantage. But it doesn't drain naturally, so we create a gravel and sand base layer that slopes away from your pool. That prevents water pooling and keeps the turf dry. It's extra work upfront, but it's the difference between a surface that lasts 15 years trouble-free and one that develops drainage issues by year three.
Absolutely. Modern synthetic turf is chlorine- and salt-resistant. We just ask you to rinse heavily treated areas with fresh water occasionally. Since most of your pool splashing lands on deck concrete anyway, not turf, it's rarely an issue. Your biggest win is keeping mud and sediment out of the pool—that happens immediately.
Our current offer covers site prep, base materials, turf installation, seaming, and initial infill spreading. We'll discuss edging and drainage specifics during your walk-through—every Waleska yard is a little different. Spring's ideal because the ground isn't frozen and you've got time before summer entertaining ramps up.
