We tell you how to transform the environment of your pool into an oasis full of life with artificial turf and other easy to install accessories that will give it a different and renewed touch. Three simple and practical proposals that require no maintenance and that will give a new and fresh look to your space.

1. Transform the edge of your pool with artificial grass, lights or stones.

One way to give life to your pool space is to transform its surroundings. Reserve the edge of your pool to place artificial grass playing with the shape of its perimeter. It is one of the most recommended options because the grass gives a very natural look and is really comfortable when you get out of the pool: you do not dirty your feet, you step very comfortable and you can lie on the grass or if you prefer, place one or more loungers. All this without maintenance and without having to dedicate part of your time to it.

In addition, its appearance is very faithful to that of natural grass, since we manufacture it expressly thinking about its integration with the environment. For this reason, if you have plants or trees, it looks even better. If you want to forget about the inconvenience of maintenance, care and the extra costs involved with natural grass, we recommend the Aberdeen FIVE model, one of the softest artificial grasses in our range, which heats up less on very hot days. Therefore, if you like to go barefoot in the pool, it is very comfortable to walk on.

In addition to putting artificial grass around the perimeter of the pool, you can add decorative elements such as lights or stones on the edge to further enhance the pool area. If you opt for lighting, different points of light around it will give a much more elegant touch to that space of the house when the sun starts to go down, creating a very nice contrast with the green lawn.

On the other hand, if you choose to place stones, we recommend that they are rather light tones. This way, no matter how you place them, they will also create a contrast with the color of the lawn, giving a different look to the pool area.

2. Add sun loungers and umbrellas to create a relaxation area.

After several years with the pool area with the same elements, a good option to give it a twist of style is to give more prominence to the furniture. And more if you like to relax, sunbathe or prepare a good cocktail, since in particular we propose you to focus on putting sun loungers and an umbrella. Giving more importance to this area is a good way to maximize the enjoyment of your outdoor space. Therefore the ideal is to choose to place artificial turf around your pool. Keep in mind that the grass base must be resistant to withstand the weight of the furniture and all the use you are going to give it over the next few years. And the ideal for this is to choose a model of artificial turf of less height, about 25 mm, as it will be stronger and will recover more easily.

On the lawn we recommend you to put several sun loungers and at least one umbrella. The number will depend on how many of you are at home, how much you like to lie down and if you prefer sun or shade. Regarding the style of the furniture, you must take into account that the type of furniture you choose will mark the personality of your pool area. You can opt for a rustic style with wood-type materials, something more modern, with aluminum in gray or black tones, or even give it a lively touch with more colorful tones. Keep in mind to choose weather-resistant materials such as aluminum, synthetic rattan or treated wood. In addition, you can also put waterproof cushions to add extra comfort.

Undoubtedly, with a quality artificial turf that withstands use, and sun loungers and umbrellas that do not spoil in the weather, you can give another life to your pool and enjoy it much more without thinking about maintenance.

3. Combine natural elements with artificial grass: stones and plants in your swimming pool

If your pool already has artificial turf, another way to give the space a different style is to integrate natural elements such as stones and plants into the overall design. With stones you have several options to place them: you can create paths with larger stones in areas with more traffic, place them around planters or next to the plants, and arrange them next to points of light so that at night the stones are illuminated and create a much more special atmosphere. If you want to know more about how to combine artificial turf with stones as a decorative element, here is an article where we explain it in more detail: “Terraces with artificial turf and stones: easy, natural and durable decoration”.

Another alternative is to place planters with plants and flowers around the pool to create a fresh, green and lively environment. The plants will add color to the space, while the artificial grass will provide a perfect base to highlight them.

If you combine these three elements (artificial grass, planters and stones) you will get a pool with natural elements and that will transmit a lot of peace to relax at any time.

Here are three expert tips to choose and install a good artificial turf in your pool:

ONE. When choosing an artificial turf to give another life to your pool, it is important to follow some tips. First and foremost, choose a high quality artificial turf that is water and UV resistant. This will ensure that the turf will maintain its green and natural appearance even in an environment with pool water, chlorine and continuous sun exposure.

TWO. Be sure to properly prepare the area prior to installation. Clean and level the ground to ensure an even surface. If necessary, use weed control netting to prevent weeds from growing through the artificial turf over time.

THREE. Follow the installation instructions provided by the factory to obtain the best results. The installation of the turf is one of the most important steps, because if the installation is insufficient, over time the turf can suffer lifting or lead to waterlogging problems with the rains. Therefore, it is important to consider hiring a professional to do the installation. This way you will be sure to enjoy a high quality and correctly installed artificial turf in your pool for many years and without any problems.

Easy maintenance of artificial turf in swimming pool environments

When you place artificial turf in pool environments the first thing you notice is the little time you need to spend on it compared to natural grass. Even so, we are going to leave you several maintenance recommendations that you can carry out occasionally to ensure that the lawn is in good condition and in optimal conditions to last even longer than you imagine.

1. Clean the lawn regularly

Remove any dirt, leaves or debris that may be on the lawn. When this accumulates, it is ideal to use a soft bristle broom or blower to clean the area. In addition, it is advisable to use a hose with water to rinse the artificial turf and remove any dust that accumulates from the environment.

2. Occasionally, perform a brushing

The grass is composed of vertical fibers that can lose their straightness with use. Therefore, to maintain its original shape as long as possible, we recommend brushing the artificial turf from time to time. Depending on how often you use the grass, the quality of the material it is made of and the height of its fibers, the pile will recover its original position to a greater or lesser extent.

In any case, we recommend intensive brushing after seasons of heavy use (after the summer, for example). Use a soft bristle brush so as not to break the fibers and brush by lifting the hair with movements opposite to the direction of the fibers.

3. What if there are stains?

It is important to treat any stain immediately to prevent it from setting. You can use a neutral detergent mixed in warm water and rub over the stain. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasives, as they can easily damage the artificial turf. Once you have rubbed the stain, rinse with plenty of water.

Following these maintenance tips, you can enjoy an artificial turf in optimal conditions in your pool environment for a long time. And if you also choose to carry out some of the decoration ideas that we have given you, you will surely have an ideal pool for a long time.
