Serving Anthem and nearby communities.

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.

What's included

What's Included with Pool Surround Turf

Typically included: drainage base graded away from the pool edge, chlorine-tolerant turf backing, secured edging against existing pool decking or pavers.

Optional: cooling infill upgrade for barefoot comfort, extended turf border around adjacent seating areas.

Customer prep: clear pool furniture and toys from the surround area and let us know if your pool equipment pad sits within the work zone.

How it works

How Our Pool Surround Turf Process Works

  1. Poolside safety review photo
    Step 1

    Poolside safety review

    The surrounding area is assessed for slip resistance and splash exposure needs.

  2. Chemical resistance prep photo
    Step 2

    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
    Step 5

    Edge sealing

    Turf edges near hardscape are sealed to prevent water infiltration.

  6. Final safety check photo
    Step 6

    The finished surface is tested for traction and drainage performance.

Materials

Materials and Methods for Pool Surround Turf

  • Chlorine-resistant turf photo

    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 photo

    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 photo

    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 photo

    Cool-surface infill

    Infill reduces heat buildup for comfortable bare feet near the pool during Anthem's long summer season.

  • Waterproof seam sealant photo

    Waterproof seam sealant

    Sealant prevents moisture from weakening seams near wet areas where splash exposure is constant.

  • Mold-resistant fibers photo

    Mold-resistant fibers

    Fibers treated to resist mold growth in the humid microclimate a pool creates right at the surround.

FAQs

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.
