Serving El Mirage and nearby communities.

Pool decks and surrounding turf areas take a beating from chlorine splash, constant moisture, and wet bare feet. El Mirage artificial turf installs turf specifically rated for pool environments, with chemical-resistant fibers and a base system built to drain splash water fast instead of letting it pool against hardscape.

Slip resistance and drainage matter more here than anywhere else on the property. We grade and texture the install specifically for poolside safety, not just appearance.

How it works

    Chemical resistance prep

    Materials are selected to withstand chlorine and pool chemical exposure.

  3. Drainage slope grading photo
    Step 3

    Drainage slope grading

    The base is graded to direct water runoff away from the pool area.

  4. Non-slip turf installation photo
    Step 4

    Non-slip turf installation

    Turf with slip-resistant texture is installed around the pool perimeter.

  5. Edge sealing photo

FAQs

Pool Surround Turf FAQs

Will chlorine damage regular turf?

Standard turf can fade or degrade faster near chlorine exposure; pool surround turf uses chemical-resistant fibers specifically to handle that.

Does turf get slippery near the pool?

Properly installed pool turf uses backing texture designed for traction, reducing slip risk compared to smooth hardscape.

How does drainage work for pool surround turf?

The base is graded to direct splash water away from the pool equipment and deck rather than letting it pool.

Can turf be installed right up to the pool edge?

Edges are sealed where turf meets the pool deck or coping to prevent water infiltration underneath.

How hot does pool deck turf get in summer?

Cool-surface infill options reduce heat buildup, though any synthetic surface will warm in direct summer sun.
