Poolside Perfection: Why Artificial Turf Is the Ideal Choice Around Pools
May 20, 2024

Thinking of upgrading your pool area? Whether you're building a new backyard oasis or enhancing an existing one, artificial turf is quickly becoming the go-to solution around pools—and for good reason.

At Kingswood Turf, we specialize in installing turf that not only looks beautiful but also solves the challenges homeowners face with traditional poolside surfaces. Here's why artificial turf is the ultimate choice for stylish, safe, and stress-free poolside living.

1. Slip-Resistant for Bare Feet and Wet Swimsuits

Concrete and stone can become dangerously slick when wet. Turf, on the other hand, offers natural traction and a cushioned surface—making it safer for kids, pets, and guests.

Benefits include:

  • Reduced risk of slips and falls
  • A soft landing underfoot
  • Great for families with kids or elderly guests

2. No Mud, Mess, or Grass in the Pool

One of the biggest pool maintenance headaches? Grass clippings and mud getting tracked into the water. Turf solves this instantly.

With artificial turf, you get:

  • No dirt or debris in your pool
  • No muddy footprints on the patio
  • A clean, modern look that stays that way

💡 Pro Tip: Use turf from the water’s edge to the fence line for a completely seamless, low-maintenance design.

3. Turf Stays Cool Under the Sun

Worried about hot surfaces in summer? High-quality turf with heat-reducing infill stays cooler than concrete and is comfortable to walk on—even during the hottest months.

Kingswood Turf offers materials that:

  • Reflect less heat
  • Drain quickly after splashes or rinses
  • Stay soft and barefoot-friendly

4. Drains Quickly to Avoid Poolside Puddles

Water splashing out of the pool can cause puddles or runoff issues—but turf handles it with ease. Our turf systems are installed with drainage layers that allow water to flow through rapidly and keep the area dry.

5. A Luxurious Look Without the Hassle

Nothing ruins a luxury pool design faster than patchy, browning grass or worn-out decking. Turf adds a modern, resort-style look that stays pristine with minimal upkeep.

Pair turf with:

  • Lounge chairs
  • Pavers or stepping stones
  • Outdoor lighting for a high-end backyard aesthetic
