Artificial Grass Around the Pool Area
Synthetic Turf for Swimming Pool Surroundings
There are many reasons to surround your pool with artificial grass. So many, in fact, that we’ve dedicated a page to promote the benefits. Artificial turf around your pool can be a game changer for the years to come.
From aesthetics and cleanliness to maintenance, artificial turf for your poolside area can make your life easier. Let’s dive in and explore some of the main reasons to consider installing fake grass around your pool.
Comfort is Crucial
A swimming pool is an icon when it comes to enjoyment and luxury. There’s nothing quite as refreshing as diving into the cool water on a hot day. And taking some laps can be as good for relaxation as it can for exercise.
Overall, nothing compares to the comfort that a swimming pool provides. However, the water shouldn’t be the only focus.
Concrete and wood can get hot, making that emergence a less-than-pleasant experience on your feet. This is as uncomfortable for you as it is for your pet, who just wants to lie poolside. Too much heat from a concrete pool deck can even be painful, causing burning or bruising. So why put up with the heat if you don’t have to?
And even on cooler days, concrete or wood pool surrounds can be rough on your feet. Since the point of a pool is to add comfort to your life, why not consider the pool area as well? Artificial grass around the pool will soften the entire pool area. This makes it easier to enjoy your time both inside and outside the pool.
Aside from concrete or wood, a real grass yard comes with its own discomforts. For one thing, natural grass can just be messy. It can be a nuisance to continually use the net or vacuum to clean out all the grass clippings. Because yes, they constantly get stuck on wet feet along with the dirt from the grass.
Make the pool area as pleasant as the pool itself by installing artificial grass around the pool. Your toes will thank you. But the benefits only start there.
Enjoy a Clean Pool and Neat-Looking Pool Area
Installing NexGen Lawns’ pristine artificial turf around your pool will provide an aesthetically pleasing environment. For one thing, synthetic grass eliminates the possibility of grass clippings getting into the pool. But when it comes to natural grass, clippings aren’t the only concern.
We all know what happens when natural grass and dirt get wet. The result is a muddy mess. Installing artificial grass around your pool will prevent the mud from entering the pool and turning the water muddy.
This brings us to another benefit of using synthetic turf for swimming pools. Since there’s no mud, there’s no likelihood of it causing a mess inside or around the pool area.
On the other hand, when your patch of artificial grass around the pool gets wet, no problem! The rapid drainage technology of the artificial turf around the pool means the ground will dry quickly. No more mud and no more clippings. This makes synthetic turf an ideal choice for the pool area.
Let the kids splash all they want, as there’ll be no mess to clean up. Your fake grass around the pool will do the job for you. Additionally, if your synthetic grass does get dirty, all you have to do is hose it down. It‘ll go back to its shiny and pristine state.
Synthetic turf for swimming pool areas are cleaner and more hygienic. No more tracking mud into the pool or making a mess of your yard. And this leads to another point worth mentioning, which is safety.
Artificial Grass Makes the Swimming Pool Safer
No more mud is beneficial in more than one way. With artificial grass around the pool, your pool area aesthetics are greatly improved. There are no more muddy areas to be concerned of from water runoff or playful splashing.
But on the other hand, without muddy areas, you’ll be left with a safer area around the pool. Mud can warp the shape of the ground and cause people to slip. Mud also holds moisture for a longer period, which leads to sitting water in your yard. This is hardly ideal for a pool area.
However, NexGen Lawns’ fast draining synthetic grass eliminates the worries affiliated with mud and water. Water quickly flushes through the drainage system keeping the area around the pool dry. But it’s not only natural grass that can be dangerous from the puddles of water or slippery areas.
Other types of pool areas such as concrete or tile surfaces can be especially dangerous. These surfaces can become slippery upon contact with water. Accidents or falls on these hard surfaces pose a tremendous risk of injury and may even be fatal. You’re better off eliminating these worries and risks altogether.
Make your pool area safer and give yourself peace of mind by installing artificial turf around your pool. Not only does artificial turf drain water and dry quickly, but its soft surface acts as a barrier as well. It tends to minimize the impact of falls and help absorb the shock. This means less slipping, and a more padded landing even if a slip does occur.
A Clean Pool Area for the Win
Installing artificial grass for your swimming pool area might be the last bit of maintenance your yard needs. You can forget mowing the lawn and trimming those pesky edges against the pool. No more fertilizing or watering the grass to make it grow and look clean.
One of the main benefits of a pool with artificial grass around it is the clean looking vibe it gives off. You can always rely on your pool area looking clean and tidy, and not have to consider maintenance at all. It doesn’t get much better than that.
Forget mowing the lawn and pulling the weeds. Alleviate those concerns for good by installing fake grass around the pool. Think how much more pool time you’ll actually get without the maintenance and chores!

Frequently Asked Questions
Want to better understand how to think about installing and maintaining artificial grass around your pool? Here, we have collected some of our customers’ most common questions.
Is artificial grass safe to install around a swimming pool?
Installing artificial turf around your pool is absolutely safe. While tile, natural grass, and other surfaces may become slippery when wet, artificial turn provides a softer yet more slip-resistant material to enjoy your pool’s surrounds.
The material is also inherently drainable, meaning your synthetic turf for swimming pool areas won’t pool or become muddy like natural grass often will.
Does artificial turf get hot around the pool?
While artificial turn performs differently in various climates, it generally stays cooler to the touch when compared with concrete, pavers, or even synthetic or natural deck materials when exposed to direct sunlight. As such, you can be confident placing turf around your pool won’t add to your backyard’s heat index.
Will pool water damage artificial grass?
One of the best facets of artificial turf around the pool is that it is easy to maintain. It doesn’t need to be maintained or cared for. It doesn’t need to be watered. And your pool water poses no risk.
As a non-living material, splashing it with chlorinated or salinized pool water (and the inherent pool chemicals found therein) will not risk damage. Compare this with natural turf, which can wilt and even die if repeatedly exposed to the naturally harmful effects of chlorinated pool water or salt water.
Can artificial grass help keep my pool cleaner?
Without the need for common lawn maintenance, such as mowing, clipping, and weeding, the area around your pool will stay blissfully clean when using artificial grass for swimming pools. No longer will you need to clean grass clippings, dirt clumps, or other potentially clogging yard elements from your pool filter! Truly, artificial grass for swimming pools is ideal for homeowners who have grown weary of constant filter changes.
Does artificial grass drain well after swimming or rain?
Premium synthetic turf for swimming pool areas often employs an efficient hole punched drainage system to allow water to pass through with ease. This style of water flow is ideal for backyards that are drainage prone, for areas of the country that receive heavy rainfall, or for yards that feature poorly draining sediment, such as clay.
Whether being splashed by pool water or enjoying a rinse on a rainy day, you can be confident that your fake grass around the pool will not lead to standing water.
How long does artificial grass around a pool last?
You can expect your synthetic turf for swimming pool areas to, with proper care, last for about 15–20 years. Of course, the amount of direct sunlight, foot traffic, and other environmental factors it faces will have an effect on its longevity.
Can pets use artificial grass around the pool?
Pets can absolutely enjoy artificial grass around the pool. As a durable pet-friendly surface, fake turf allows for both fun and relaxation for pets of all breeds and sizes. For dog owners, it also offers a much cleaner backyard experience, with easier cleanup and little risk for muddy pawprints in the house or on the pool deck.
Install faux turf around your pool and your pet is sure to love it!
Will artificial grass fade in the sun?
Many premium artificial grass products are inherently UV resistant, to ensure they can be enjoyed season after season with no frequent treatment or replacement needed. And this is even often the case when the fake grass around the pool is exposed to all-day, reflective sunlight. Enjoy as you would a normal grass lawn and its beauty is sure to last for the long haul.
How can I clean my artificial grass lawn?
High quality artificial turf requires little to no maintenance to keep pristine. Without mowing or watering required, the surface often looks beautiful season after season. However, if your turf becomes dirty, simply spray with hose water to rinse. As an added benefit, the surface can even be raked or leaf blown with ease to keep things looking pristine as the seasons change.
Will a pool with artificial grass increase my home’s value?
Installing fake turf around the pool offers your home’s next owners a maintenance-free oasis in their backyard. Without the need to mow, water, or more, they can be free to enjoy their pool with artificial grass without any effort, sweat, or headache needed. And in many prospective homebuyers’ eyes, this can be a major selling point.
