When it comes to creating a relaxing and visually stunning poolside, artificial grass is becoming the go-to choice for homeowners and designers alike. Its lush green appearance, year-round perfection, and minimal upkeep make it a smart alternative to natural lawns.
At FieldTurf Landscape, our range of premium artificial grass for pool areas combines modern engineering with natural aesthetics — giving you a soft, slip-resistant, and long-lasting surface that enhances both safety and beauty around your pool.
Advantages of Artificial Grass Around Pools
Aesthetics and Natural Appeal
Artificial grass instantly transforms your pool area into a serene, resort-like retreat. The realistic look and soft texture of FieldTurf’s products mimic natural grass so closely that it’s hard to tell the difference.
Unlike natural lawns, it doesn’t fade, thin, or turn patchy from chlorine or heavy use. You get consistent greenery and a clean, inviting space throughout the year — no mowing, watering, or worrying about bald spots.
Low Maintenance
Say goodbye to the hassles of lawn care. Artificial grass eliminates the need for mowing, watering, fertilizing, or dealing with muddy patches.
Maintenance is simple — just remove fallen leaves, rinse occasionally to remove dust or pool water residue, and brush the fibers lightly to keep them upright.
A quick rain-style rinse in the summer months helps cool the surface and refresh the look, making it perfect for family gatherings or pool parties.
Safety and Slip Resistance
Wet surfaces around pools can often lead to slips and falls, especially on tiles or concrete. Artificial grass provides a grippy, cushioned, non-slip surface, ensuring better safety for children and adults alike.
Its soft fibers are gentle underfoot, even when barefoot, and provide a comfortable lounging area for sunbathing or relaxing by the pool.
Durability and Chlorine Resistance
A common concern when choosing artificial turf for poolside use is chlorine exposure. FieldTurf’s synthetic grass is specially engineered to resist the effects of pool chemicals, UV rays, and heavy foot traffic.
Our grass retains its color, texture, and structure even after years of sun and water exposure. With proper care, FieldTurf artificial grass can easily last 15 years or more, backed by a strong manufacturer’s warranty.
Types of Artificial Grass Suitable for Pool Areas
When selecting artificial grass for your pool, consider the technical features that ensure long-lasting performance and a natural look.
Grass Height and Density
The ideal grass height depends on your preferences and how you use the pool area. Most homeowners prefer turf between 30mm and 40mm in height — tall enough to look lush and soft, yet firm enough to recover quickly from foot traffic or pool furniture.
UV Resistance
Since pool areas are often in direct sunlight, UV protection is essential. FieldTurf’s grass products come with advanced UV stabilization, preventing color fading and fiber breakdown even in intense sunlight.
Material Quality
The quality of materials determines how well your grass performs over time. FieldTurf uses premium polyethylene and polypropylene fibers for superior softness, resilience, and durability — ensuring your pool area stays beautiful, safe, and functional for years.
How to Choose the Right Artificial Grass for Your Pool
Every pool space is unique — the best artificial grass depends on how you plan to use it and the amount of activity it will see.
Consider Usage and Foot Traffic
Ask yourself:
- Is your pool private or shared by multiple families?
- Will there be frequent gatherings or occasional relaxation?
- Is the area mostly shaded or exposed to full sun?
For high-traffic areas, choose dense turf with quick recovery fibers. For light-use family pools, a softer, mid-density grass will feel more comfortable underfoot.
Evaluate Quality and Warranty
Look for trusted brands like FieldTurf Landscape that offer at least a 5–8 year warranty. A good warranty is a reflection of product confidence and ensures peace of mind for long-term use.
Installation of Artificial Grass Around Pools
Installing artificial grass near a pool requires attention to drainage, leveling, and proper surface preparation. Here’s a brief overview of the process:
1. Land Preparation
Remove existing natural grass, roots, and debris. Apply a weed barrier or herbicide to prevent regrowth. Then, level the surface using a mix of gravel and sand for proper drainage.
2. Placement and Adjustment
Lay the turf rolls across the prepared base. Adjust them until the seams align perfectly. Use joining tape and adhesive to secure the joints, ensuring a seamless, natural finish.
3. Filling and Finishing
While infill is optional, we recommend adding silica sand infill to help maintain the turf’s shape, improve drainage, and keep the blades upright. Finally, brush the surface gently to lift the fibers and create a natural appearance.
Tips for Maintaining Artificial Grass Near Pools
Even though artificial grass requires very little care, a few simple practices will keep it looking fresh and clean:
Cleaning and Drainage
Ensure the area has proper drainage to prevent waterlogging. Occasionally rinse the surface to remove dirt, dust, or chemical residue from pool water.
Brushing and Decompacting
Brush the turf against the grain using a soft broom to maintain the upright position of fibers and keep the area fluffy and even.
Protecting Against Heavy Furniture
Use furniture pads or distribute weight evenly to prevent dents or flattening. Avoid dragging heavy objects directly over the grass.
