Poolside Artificial Turf: Design Ideas and Practical Benefits

The area surrounding your pool sets the tone for your entire outdoor living experience. Artificial turf is rapidly replacing traditional pool deck materials for its comfort, safety, and stunning appearance.

Why Turf Beats Traditional Pool Decking

• Softer and more comfortable underfoot than concrete or pavers
• No sharp edges or rough surfaces that cause scrapes
• Excellent drainage prevents puddles and slippery surfaces
• Cooler than concrete or dark pavers in direct sun
• No mud or grass clippings tracked into the pool
• Creates a resort-like atmosphere around any pool

Design Considerations

Poolside turf requires specific product selection. We use marine-grade backing and antimicrobial infill that resists chlorine splash, UV degradation, and moisture retention. Proper drainage engineering ensures pool splash and rainwater move away from the pool and house. The result is a beautiful, functional pool surround that requires minimal maintenance.
