6 advantages of having artificial grass around a swimming pool

Safety: Artificial grass provides a non-slip surface around swimming pools, enhancing safety by reducing the risk of slips and falls while offering a softer landing if accidents occur.
Low Maintenance: With no need for mowing or muddy clean-ups, artificial grass requires minimal upkeep, allowing pool owners more time to relax and enjoy their space.
Cost-Effective: Compared to alternative surfaces like paving or decking, artificial grass is a more affordable option that combines aesthetic appeal with practical benefits.
UV Resistance and Durability: The grass maintains its vibrant colour year-round due to UV resistance and is designed for longevity, requiring little maintenance or replacement over time.
Excellent Drainage: With built-in porosity, artificial grass allows efficient drainage of water and pet waste, eliminating the need for additional drainage systems.

Have you thought about if your pool area is completely ready to go — whether you’re the owner of that pool, or a construction company getting ready to build.

For example, have you considered both safety and style? Does the pool feel like a natural extension of the garden or is it quite jarring? Is it as user-friendly as it could be?

In this article, we’ll discuss why installing artificial grass around a swimming pool makes for a safe, low-maintenance and natural-looking surface option that pairs perfectly with a pool.

Let’s dive in.

6 benefits of artificial grass around a swimming pool

Thorpe Bay: Artificial Grass Installation

Non-slip surface

The most important benefit artificial grass provides is a non-slip surface around the pool. Friction and grip is essential for safety, protecting everyone from trips and slips. Artificial grass provides this needed friction while still seamlessly blending with the natural surroundings — plus it makes for a softer landing if anyone does take a tumble.

Low maintenance

No mess, no mud, no mowing — the big benefit of artificial grass has always been its low maintenance. With artificial grass, you benefit from ultra-realistic grass without the time-consuming upkeep, making it a user-friendly option that grants more time for relaxing.

Cost effective

Depending on the alternative surfacing options you are considering, such as paving or decking, artificial grass makes for a much more affordable cost-effective choice in comparison while still providing aesthetic and practical benefits.

Colour doesn’t fade

Pools are a major part of a back garden, and so they need to look their best. Our artificial grass retains its natural green appearance without fading, thanks to its UV resistance. This means your artificial grass will remain beautiful and in full colour all year round, unlike other materials which can deteriorate over time.

Durable

Following on from the previous point, artificial grass is hard-wearing and UV-resistant, making it a great long-lasting option for your pool. Its durability grants it superb longevity that requires very little maintenance or attendance, making it a user-friendly choice that needs no regular replacement.

Easy drainage

Our artificial grass has excellent porosity, allowing free drainage of both water and urine, for those with pets. Because this drainage capability comes as part of the grass, there’s no need to spend extra money or make more effort to install drainage as well.
