Pool decks are common in Anthem backyards, and bare concrete around a pool gets brutally hot by mid-morning in summer. Anthem Artificial Turf installs turf surrounds that stay cooler underfoot and handle the splash and chemical exposure a standard lawn turf isn't built for.
The base under a pool surround does more work than a standard lawn base. It has to drain splash water fast instead of letting it pool against the pool decking, so grading and permeable base material matter more here than on a typical backyard job.

How Our Pool Surround Turf Process Works
Step 1Poolside safety review
The surrounding area is assessed for slip resistance and splash exposure needs.
Step 2Chemical resistance prep
Materials are selected to withstand chlorine and pool chemical exposure.
Step 3Drainage slope grading
The base is graded to direct water runoff away from the pool area.
Step 4Non-slip turf installation
Turf with slip-resistant texture is installed around the pool perimeter.
Step 5Edge sealing
Turf edges near hardscape are sealed to prevent water infiltration.
Step 6Final safety check
The finished surface is tested for traction and drainage performance.
Materials
Materials and Methods for Pool Surround Turf
Chlorine-resistant turf
Fibers designed to resist fading and damage from pool chemicals so repeated splash exposure doesn't break down the material.
Fast-draining base
Base material quickly channels splash water away from the surface instead of letting it pool against the deck edge.
Non-slip backing texture
Backing designed to improve traction on wet poolside surfaces, important for bare feet near the water's edge.
Cool-surface infill
Infill reduces heat buildup for comfortable bare feet near the pool during Anthem's long summer season.
Waterproof seam sealant
Sealant prevents moisture from weakening seams near wet areas where splash exposure is constant.
Mold-resistant fibers
Fibers treated to resist mold growth in the humid microclimate a pool creates right at the surround.

Pool Surround Turf FAQs
Will pool chemicals damage artificial turf?
Standard residential turf can degrade from regular chlorine splash over time. Chlorine-resistant backing and fibers hold up much better in that environment.
Does pool surround turf get too hot to walk on?
Cooling infill options reduce surface temperature compared to standard turf or concrete, though any outdoor surface will still warm up under direct Arizona sun at midday.
How does drainage work around a pool with turf?
The base is graded to move splash water away from the pool edge and deck, so water doesn't pool against the turf or the hardscape.
Can turf be installed right up against pool decking?
Edges are secured and sealed against existing pavers or decking to prevent water infiltration at the seam.
Does HOA approval apply to pool surround turf?
If the area is visible from the street or a shared common space, your HOA guidelines on turf color and pile height likely still apply. Backyard-only pool surrounds are usually less scrutinized.
