Why Artificial Grass is Perfect for Pool Decks

Why Artificial Grass is Perfect for Pool Decks

There’s no time of year where Sacramento pools get more use than the height of summer. When the temperature peaks, taking a dip in your backyard pool is one of the best ways to cool off and relax. Whether you’re looking to install a new backyard pool or renovate an existing one, choosing artificial grass landscaping for your pool deck will make your backyard vibrant and beautiful while offering unparalleled functionality and durability. 

Efficient Drainage

One of the stand-out reasons that synthetic turf landscaping is perfect for pool decks is because of its impressive drainage capabilities. Our synthetic turf products are always installed with top-of-the-line drainage systems underneath them, which allows our backyard to drain away water at a rate of more than 30 inches per hour per square yard. That means that no matter how many cannonballs your kids want to do, your synthetic grass pool deck can handle them all. There’s no surface flooding or brown patches to worry about, and no mold, mildew, or mud to contend with. Even after a full day of active swimming, your artificial grass will be dry within the hour and as pristine as it was before the waterlogged fun.

Better Safety & Comfort

Another reason that homeowners love artificial grass for their pool decking, especially if they have kids, is the enhanced safety. Other traditional pool decking materials such as brick, concrete, and stone can become slick and dangerous when wet. Although kids are always told to walk, not run, around the pool area, they rarely listen. With synthetic turf pool decking, you can have more peace of mind knowing that the texture of turf provides better grip and slip resistance than other deck materials. It’s also more comfortable to walk on than burning hot hardscapes, and we even offer turf with TigerCool technology that remains up to 15 percent cooler than other synthetic grass products.

Lower Maintenance

One of artificial turf’s biggest benefits in all applications is its low-maintenance nature. This is especially true when it comes to synthetic turf pool decks, as it not only allows you to save time and money, but it also makes your pool a safer place. Installing synthetic turf means that you no longer need to mow, trim, or fertilize your natural grass. Keeping gasoline and other toxic chemicals away from your pool water will make it safer and cleaner for your family to enjoy. This also means that there are no freshly-cut grass blades that will get tracked into your pool water and clogged in your filter. Synthetic turf is extremely resistant to pull force, so your turf blades will stay intact and your pool water can remain clean and free of landscaping toxins.
