Frequently Asked Pool Turf Questions
Nope! We find the biggest appeal of our synthetic pool turf products is their extreme durability. This applies not only to the heavy foot traffic it is sure to see near your pool but also to its ability to withstand water damage itself.
Artificial grass is made from hardy polyethylene or polypropylene material that does not receive any damage or bleaching from salt or chlorine content, meaning you can enjoy a good-looking poolside surface without any worrying!
Many homeowners with above-ground pools ask us whether or not artificial turf would work well as a base beneath their pool as opposed to concrete or crushed rock surfacing.
The answer is: yes!
We love this application because artificial turf is not only durable enough to withstand weather, it’s also specifically built to handle the heavy traffic that comes around your pool, all while maintaining significantly more traction (and comfort) compared to concrete or crushed rock.
Naturally, don’t expect the turf directly beneath your pool to be pristine after some time. Any filled pool that’s placed on top of the turf will end up flattening the blades.
We’d love to give you a general estimate, but the truth is this is extremely difficult to answer without knowing the particulars of your poolside turf project.
There are so many different types of pools out there in terms of square footage and design, not to mention additional obstacles that vary from lawn to lawn, which is why we encourage all those interested to receive a free estimate by filling out our contact form!
As the two most popular surfacing choices to surround your backyard pool, it’s only natural to wonder which option is cheaper: artificial turf or traditional concrete pool surfacing?
Most often, the artificial turf proves to be the more affordable option for your poolscape, as prices typically max out around the $10 per square foot range. Be sure to consider all the factors particular to your project when comparing the two options, such as total square footage and natural obstacles to the installation itself.
