Pool Surround Turf — Resort Style for DFW Backyards
No more grass clippings in the pool. No more muddy run-off after summer storms. Truhaven Turf installs seamless artificial turf around pools that drains instantly, looks beautiful year-round, and transforms your backyard into a true outdoor retreat.
The Problems with Grass Around a Pool — Solved
If you have a pool in your DFW backyard, you already know the headaches that come with natural grass around it. Grass clippings get tracked into the water constantly. Texas clay soil turns muddy and slippery after rain or splash-out. Bare spots develop from heavy foot traffic around the edge. Herbicides used to keep weeds down can potentially contaminate pool water.
Turf eliminates all of it. No clippings. No mud. No bare patches. The perforated backing drains water instantly — splash-out from the pool disappears in seconds. And the surface looks lush and pristine year-round without a single maintenance visit.
What Pool Surround Turf Does for Your Backyard
Instant Drainage
Pool surround turf uses a fully perforated backing. Water — whether from splash-out, rain, or rinsing — drains completely through to the base within seconds. No pooling, no slipping.
No Clippings, Ever
Natural grass sheds clippings into your pool every time someone walks through it, especially after mowing. With turf, there are no clippings — period. Your pool stays cleaner with less skimming.
Resort-Style Aesthetic
Lush, uniform green turf framing your pool creates a high-end resort look that photographs beautifully. It elevates the entire backyard aesthetic compared to patchy, worn natural grass.
Comfortable Underfoot
Quality pool surround turf has a soft, cushioned feel underfoot — better than concrete or pavers, and far more comfortable than sun-baked clay soil. Barefoot friendly all summer long.

Common Questions About Pool Surround Turf
Is artificial turf slippery when wet around a pool?
No — properly installed pool surround turf with the correct infill provides good traction even when wet. The turf surface is actually safer than concrete or smooth pavers when it comes to slip resistance. We use products specifically rated for pool surround applications.
Will pool chemicals damage the turf?
No. Premium artificial turf is resistant to chlorine, salt water, and the pH levels typical in residential pools. Splash-out and splash-over from pool chemicals will not degrade or discolor the turf or affect its lifespan.
Can I still use the hose or pressure wash the turf?
Yes — you can rinse pool surround turf with a garden hose as often as you like. The drainage system handles water immediately. Occasional rinsing actually helps keep the surface clean and fresh.
Does the turf get hot in the Texas summer?
Artificial turf can get warmer than natural grass in direct sun, which is worth noting in a pool environment. We offer heat-reducing infill options that significantly lower surface temperature. Many homeowners find that the pool itself and natural shade from structures mitigate this around pool areas specifically.
