Pros to Artificial Turf for Pool Decks:
- Slip-Resistant – Artificial turf is the ideal flooring solution for any pool deck because it is a non-slip surface. Dip your toes in the pool without the fear of slipping when you get out.
- Install it once and you’re done – No need to replant, reseed, or resod, just lightly maintain it over the next 20+ years.
- Easy to clean – A simple light hosing of messy areas and removal of debris is all that’s needed to keep your poolside turf looking fresh.
- Sustainable & eco-friendly – Because artificial turf doesn’t need watering or harsh chemicals in pesticides and fertilizers to stay green, it is an excellent alternative to natural grass, especially in drought-prone areas.
- Low maintenance – With no regular upkeep required, spend less time mowing, weeding, and watering your synthetic lawn, and more time enjoying your poolside oasis.

Cons to Artificial Turf for Pool Decks:
- Initial Cost of artificial turf installation – The artificial grass installation process is typically a larger upfront investment over real grass. But, this investment will save you money in the long run.
- Heat – Synthetic grass products can become warm to the touch if placed in direct sunlight, especially during the hotter months. To avoid this, we recommend shading or hosing down the area when experiencing warm weather. Our Envirofill infill is another easy way to keep the overall temperature of the turf as cool as possible.
- Pet odors – Just like a natural lawn, artificial grass can hold odors is not cleaned properly. This can be easily prevented by quickly hosing off the swimming pool turf area after your pet does its business. For best practice, we recommend lightly cleaning your yard weekly.

Cost of artificial turf for pool decks
The cost of synthetic grass for landscaping pool areas varies based on the specific model selected for your project. Typically the range is between $2-$3 per square for poolside applications.
So, if your swimming pool area is 1,200 sq.ft with 700 sq.ft of grassy areas and you select a turf model that is $3 per sq.ft, your synthetic turf grass will cost $2,100.

Cleaning and maintaining your artificial grass
Keeping artificial grass clean is a simple process, but it is important to maintain the quality of your lawn for years to come. With proper care, your synthetic grass can last for 15-20 years or more!
We recommend these steps to keep your lawn clean and in good condition:
- Sweep, rake, or brush the surface of the poolside artificial grass to remove any unwanted dirt, debris, or fallen leaves.
- Pick up pet waste, food, or unwanted debris that has landed on your turf as needed. This step is especially important to monitor if you have pets to prevent strong odors.
- With a hose, lightly water any dirty or high foot traffic areas. Make sure to hose off any areas that are frequently getting wet with chlorine or salt water.
- For stubborn spots that won’t come out with a quick rinse, use laundry detergent and scrub lightly to clean the area.

Frequently asked questions
Can you put artificial grass around a pool?
Yes! Our artificial grass products are ideal for any pool deck. With both anti-slip and stain-resistant properties, our poolside line of turf is a safer and longer-lasting flooring solution over natural grass.
Easy to customize, utilize a combination of beautiful, luscious green artificial turf with concrete or stone accents along your pool.
Does pool water damage artificial grass?
As long as you care for your turf correctly, pool water will not damage artificial grass. Pool chemicals are harsh on real grass and can cause discoloration and dry patchy areas. Artificial Turf Supply uses high-quality materials for artificial grass around pool areas to prevent these issues from arising.
Even though our products are stain-resistant, we recommend that you hose down your grassy area around your pool with water about once a week to prevent salt or chlorine buildup. This will keep your turf area looking luscious and green for years to come!
Can you lay artificial grass straight onto concrete?
If the pavers laid down the concrete with proper drainage, you can place artificial grass straight onto it. If your concrete area doesn’t have drainage, then you will need to consider making repairs to the area before installing your artificial grass.
If you are unsure of whether or not your concrete has the appropriate drainage capabilities, contact one of our turf specialists for guidance! They will help determine the specifics of your project.
