Fairway Turf & Greens
Turf Expert
Pool areas and artificial turf are a perfect match. No mud tracked into the pool, no dead grass from chlorine splash, and a comfortable surface for bare feet.
Why Pool Areas Love Artificial Turf
No More Mud
Kids running between grass and pool create muddy disasters. Synthetic turf stays clean and dry.
Chlorine Resistant
Pool water and splash-out damage natural grass. Artificial turf handles chlorine without discoloration.
Soft Landing
Falls happen around pools. Turf provides cushioned impact compared to concrete or pavers.
Cool Underfoot
While turf can get warm, it’s cooler than concrete pool decks and provides comfortable lounging areas.
Drainage
Quality turf drains faster than grass, reducing puddles and slip hazards.
Design Ideas
Full Surround
Replace concrete pool deck with turf for a resort-like atmosphere.
Turf Islands
Create turf sections between pavers or stone for visual interest.
Lounging Areas
Designate turf zones for chairs and sunbathing away from the water.
Putting Green Addition
Combine pool and putting green for ultimate backyard entertainment.
Installation Considerations
- Slope turf away from pool edge
- Use perforated backing for enhanced drainage
- Install pavers or coping at pool edge for cleaner transition
