Weekend Install — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Picture this: it's Saturday morning in Lost Mountain, and instead of spending your weekend fighting Cobb County clay and watering schedules, you're actually enjoying your pool. That's the reality for West Cobb homeowners who've made the switch to artificial turf around their swimming areas. We've installed pool-side turf in neighborhoods from Mars Hill to the Harrison High School corridor, and the transformation is always the same—your backyard becomes genuinely usable instead of a muddy mess or a brown patch by July. Here's what makes pool turf different from regular lawn: it needs to drain fast, handle chlorine splash-back, stay cool underfoot, and look sharp year-round without the constant maintenance. West Cobb's newer construction homes often come with yards that are either still settling or fighting that heavy red clay that never quite drains right. Add a pool into that equation, and you've got a perfect setup for artificial turf. We can knock out a weekend install that transforms your pool area from a maintenance headache into an extension of your living space. No more brown rings around the deck. No more soggy corners. Just a clean, safe, ready-to-use backyard.
West Cobb's clay soil is honestly one of the best arguments for going artificial around pools. That dense, compact clay you're dealing with in 30127 and 30152 doesn't drain like you'd hope, especially when you're dealing with regular pool water runoff and splashing. We've seen yards where standing water sits for days after rain—that's a non-starter for any natural lawn, but artificial turf laughs at it. Our pool turf systems are engineered with drainage backing that moves water away from the deck and down into proper slope patterns we install during the weekend setup. Sun exposure varies depending on whether you're in the Mars Hill area or closer to the newer developments near Harrison High School, but quality pool turf holds its color and doesn't fade under Cobb County's intense summer heat. One thing unique to West Cobb: a lot of homes here are newer construction with HOA guidelines. We work with those restrictions regularly and can ensure your turf choice matches any landscape requirements. The turf also stays significantly cooler than pavement or dark concrete, which matters when you've got kids running barefoot between the pool and house. We typically recommend a softer-backed product specifically for wet areas—it gives better cushioning and handles the chemical exposure that comes with chlorinated water.
Not if you use the right product. We install pool-grade turf with backing specifically designed to handle chlorine and salt exposure. The key is that water needs to drain through it quickly rather than sitting on top. During your weekend install, we slope the base and ensure drainage direction moves water away from sitting areas. Chlorine splash won't harm the fibers—they're UV-stabilized and chemically resistant. Just rinse it down periodically with fresh water, like you'd do with pavement.
Most residential pool areas in West Cobb—whether it's a 20x15 deck or larger—install in a single weekend. We're only 12 minutes from West Cobb, so we can mobilize quickly for Saturday-Sunday jobs. The prep work (removing old sod, grading, addressing that Cobb County clay, installing base and drainage) takes the bulk of the time. The actual turf laying and seaming is surprisingly fast once the foundation is solid.
Absolutely. That heavy, compacted clay isn't forgiving. We excavate to proper depth, install a gravel base layer for drainage, and add a perforated drainage system if the slope isn't naturally working in your favor. For pool areas especially, we can't take chances with standing water. Once the base is locked in, the turf goes down solid and stays that way through Georgia's wet winters and hot summers.
Yes. We work around existing pools all the time in West Cobb. The turf installation happens on the deck and surrounding area, so pool removal isn't necessary. We just work carefully around the existing structure, manage water runoff, and make sure everything drains properly back into your existing system or away from the pool itself.
