One of the most important features of a pool is not the pool itself but the pool decking, the area that immediately surrounds the pool and acts as the defining lines of the pool. This feature is responsible for containing the pool, defining its appearance, absorbing water splashed out of the pool, and acting as a non-slip surface for children, adults, residents, and guests.
A specialist team of industry leaders and experts in landscaping and hardscaping, Smart Scapes has innovated its own proprietary methodology for creating pool decking that performs all of the above core functions while looking stunning and unique.
Two of our most popular Smart Scapes-branded pool decking styles include:
Artificial turf pool decking. Artificial turf is an excellent alternative to natural grass pool decking. Trying to grow grass right beside a pool is nearly impossible, as the chlorinated water from the pool kills the grass and overly saturates it. Furthermore, natural grass is a pain in pool maintenance, as it means grass clippings, weeds, and dirt constantly find their way into your pool. Installing artificial turf next to a pool, however, provides a natural-looking, no-slip, water-pervious surface that completes the “backyard oasis” look. The synthetic turf filters water through it and into the ground beneath, it does not become slippery when wet, and it offers a soft, more natural, aesthetic appeal.
Permeable paver pool decking. Permeable pavers are the perfect, no-slip, eco-friendly approach to pool decking. Rather than using ceramic tiles or flagstones that become slippery when wet, water pervious pavers transfer water through the pavers and into the ground beneath, just as nature intended. Whenever pool water or rainwater strikes permeable paver pool decking, that water will immediately begin to seep through the pool deck and into base layers beneath, creating an aesthetic, no-slip surface around the pool.
