Question 1

Is artificial grass safe for pool areas?

Accepted Answer

Yes, high-quality artificial turf is safe for pool areas. It’s flat and even and remains relatively slip-resistant with good traction even when wet, which helps to prevent slips and falls. Even if a child falls on artificial grass, the fall is cushioned by the lush turf.

High-quality artificial grass contains no harmful chemicals or lead and requires no pesticides, herbicides, weedkillers or fertilizers, which reduces the potential toxic exposure for your family.

Question 2

Can pool turf be installed as a DIY job?

Accepted Answer

Because there are safety, drainage and other potential issues around a pool area, it is best to install artificial turf professionally. That way, you can be sure that your turf not only looks the part but will do its job safely and last many years into the future.

A lot of work is required to prepare the ground before artificial grass is laid. This is best handled by seasoned professionals. All pool turf installed by DFW Turf Solutions is protected by a 15-year limited warranty, which covers any work defects.

Question 3

How do you maintain pool turf?

Accepted Answer

One of the beauties of installing pool turf is its low maintenance requirements. Your grass area will remain looking pristine with little backyard work.

You’ll need to clear debris from time to time as you would a normal grass lawn. And occasionally give it a spray with the garden hose. If weeds crop up in the infill, simply pull them out by hand.

Question 4

How much is the best artificial grass for pool areas?

Accepted Answer

The cost of artificial grass is nearly always a factor in decision-making. It’s important to understand the economics of synthetic turf, which has a higher upfront cost than real grass but saves hundreds or even thousands of dollars per year in maintenance and water costs.

When considering whether artificial grass is worth the cost, make your calculations over the expected life of the grass area, which may be 12-15 years or more.

If a 500-square-foot pool turf area costs around $5,000 to install professionally, which is around average, it is likely to pay for itself within five years.
