Phoenix's pool season runs long, which means drainage and chemical resistance around pool decks matter nearly year-round, not just a few summer weekends. Pool Surround Turf replaces cracked concrete or dying grass near the water with a surface built to handle splash, chlorine, and constant sun. Phoenix Artificial Turf Pros grades the base to slope water away from the pool before any turf goes down.
Standard yard turf isn't built for this kind of exposure. Backing and fiber both need to resist chemical breakdown over time.

Materials Used

Chlorine-resistant turf
Fibers designed to resist fading and damage from pool chemicals splashed onto the surface.

Fast-draining base
Base material quickly channels splash water away from the surface instead of pooling.

Non-slip backing texture
Backing designed to improve traction on wet poolside surfaces.

Cool-surface infill
Infill reduces heat buildup for comfortable bare feet near the pool deck.

Waterproof seam sealant
Sealant prevents moisture from weakening seams near wet areas.

Mold-resistant fibers
Fibers treated to resist mold growth given Phoenix's long pool season.

Pool Surround Turf FAQs
Can artificial turf be installed around a pool deck?
With chlorine-resistant fiber and a properly graded drainage base, turf holds up well around pool decks.
Does pool chemical exposure damage standard turf?
Standard residential turf can fade or degrade faster near chlorinated water, which is why chemical-resistant fiber is used here.
How does drainage work near a pool?
The base is graded to slope away from the pool so splash water doesn't pool against the turf or coping.
Is pool surround turf slippery when wet?
Non-slip backing texture is used specifically to improve traction on wet surfaces.
How long does pool surround turf last?
With chemical-resistant materials, pool surround turf typically holds up as long as standard yard turf despite the extra exposure.
