Swimming pools and artificial grass are a match made in heaven! The innovative features of synthetic turf products can elevate your pool enjoyment, safety, and cleanliness as well as increase monthly savings. While you may think it sounds too good to be true, it’s just the reality of artificial turf landscaping.

While concrete and stone are traditional pool deck materials, landscape turf is quickly taking over. Homeowners are discovering the functional benefits and visual appeal of a backyard oasis with beautiful evergreen turf. If you want to experience the peak of pool enjoyment, artificial grass from SGW Florida is the answer! Read on to learn how synthetic grass can bring your pool to life, improving your satisfaction and saving money on maintenance costs.

Create a Safe Poolscape

Safety is paramount in pool design. You don’t want your summer fun interrupted by a visit to the emergency room! While there are alternative ways to make your pool safer, artificial turf products provide benefits that are hard — if not impossible — to find elsewhere.

For starters, stone or concrete surfaces can become slippery when wet, posing a risk to children. Not only do they increase the risk of falls, but also the damage done. Landing on gentle synthetic grass reduces the risk of severe injuries and bruises. An underpad cushion can be added beneath your synthetic grass to further enhance protection.

Consider also how hot traditional materials get during the summer. Landscape turf from SGW Florida features TigerCool technology that reduces surface temperatures by up to 15 percent, preventing burned feet and general discomfort. Surrounding your pool with synthetic turf provides optimal safety for children, pets, and summer visitors!

Elevate Pool Cleanliness

Kids often run back and forth between the pool and the lawn, inevitably tracking grass blades and other lawn debris into the water. These grass blades, dirt, stones, and leaf debris dirty the pool water and force the filtration system to work harder, increasing wear and tear.

Install synthetic grass around your pool to protect the crystal-clear water from lawn debris. The turf fibers are triple reinforced into sturdy backings using tuft bind technology and won’t tear or get stuck to your kids’ feet. Efficient drainage systems also make it easier to rinse leaf fragments, twigs, and other debris from your landscape, preventing them from ending up in your pool.

Artificial turf products increase pool cleanliness by reducing the amount of debris in your lawn. The antimicrobial infill used to secure and support turf fibers also contributes by eliminating bacteria before they can spread to your pool water.

Reduce Maintenance Costs

Natural lawns require extensive maintenance to preserve their pristine appearance. Not only do you have to continuously mow to maintain the desired length, but you also have to apply fertilizer, lawn chemicals, daily watering, seeding, and weeding. Constant lawn care boosts monthly expenses and steals time that could otherwise be spent in the water!

Landscape turf requires little to no maintenance. Since fake grass doesn’t rely on soil and is synthetic, there’s no need for daily watering or fertilizer. Artificial grass is always the perfect length and features weed barriers that block invasive plants. Even pests will be discouraged due to consistently dry synthetic grass, eliminating the need for pesticides. This adds up to significant monthly savings.

Improve Drainage

Natural lawns are incompatible with pools, as constant water splashing can oversaturate natural grass. Puddles pose similar risks as slippery stone materials and encourage bacteria growth — and this is to say nothing of mud puddles! If you have pets, a soggy lawn means more bath time and less poolside fun.

Synthetic grass is installed with advanced AirDrain grids, which combine with permeable product backings to create drainage capabilities of up to 400 gallons per hour per square yard. Splashed pool water quickly drains through porous backings and drainage grids, leaving your yard puddle-free!
