Many homeowners struggle with messy, demanding pool decks. Here’s why common poolside groundcovers can be a hassle to maintain.
Concrete and Pavers
These elegant hardscapes crack and stain easily. Pressure washing rescues them temporarily but involves costly sealing maintenance. Pests also nest between regions.
Natural Grass
Real grass around pools constantly battles chlorine damage. Without perfect upkeep, it develops brown spots or unsafe unevenness. Mud puddles are also a common sight.
Dirt and Gravel
While porous, these options breed mosquitos and track mud indoors and into the pool.
