Pool surround turf replaces the grass, gravel, or bare dirt around a pool deck with a surface that handles splash water, chlorine exposure, and bare feet without getting too hot to walk on. Sun City artificial turf plans these installs around drainage first, since pool surrounds deal with more standing water than a typical yard.
A pool area gets more direct sun exposure than most of the yard, which means fiber and infill choice matter even more here than elsewhere. Getting the drainage and heat performance right is what keeps a pool surround from becoming the one spot in the yard nobody wants to walk across barefoot.

How Our Pool Surround Turf Process Works
Step 1Poolside safety review
The surrounding area is assessed for slip resistance and splash exposure needs.
Step 2Chemical resistance prep
Materials are selected to withstand chlorine and pool chemical exposure.
Step 3Drainage slope grading
The base is graded to direct water runoff away from the pool area.
Step 4Non-slip turf installation
Turf with slip-resistant texture is installed around the pool perimeter.
Step 5Edge sealing
Turf edges near hardscape are sealed to prevent water infiltration.
Step 6Final safety check
The finished surface is tested for traction and drainage performance.
