Tired of mud, dust, and patchy lawn around your pool? In Cape Town’s dry climate and changing water restrictions, keeping natural grass green next to a swimming pool can be costly and time-consuming.
At Cape Pools, we offer artificial grass and pool-focused landscaping solutions that keep your entertainment area neat, comfortable, and water-wise all year round.
Whether you want soft artificial grass around the pool, a clean play area for the kids, or a low-maintenance entertainment space that ties your pool, paving, and garden together, our team can help you design and install a layout that works for your space and lifestyle.
As local pool specialists, we understand how outdoor areas behave around water. We take drainage, splash zones, edging, and safety into account so your artificial grass not only looks good on day one, but also performs well over time.
Our installations are ideal for pool surrounds, side strips, roof terraces, courtyards, and high-traffic areas where natural grass struggles.
Artificial grass is a great option for Cape Town homes that want a green look without heavy irrigation, muddy footprints, or constant mowing.
It helps reduce the amount of sand and debris that ends up in your pool, and creates a softer, more comfortable surface for bare feet and lounging.
If you’re looking for a contractor who can handle both the pool and the surrounding space, Cape Pools offers a complete solution.
While our main focus is the area directly around your pool, patio, and entertainment space, we can also assist with simple garden touches—like small lawn sections, paths, or planter borders—to help the whole yard feel more finished.
We work with homeowners, estates, complexes, guest houses, and small commercial properties across Cape Town, tailoring every project to the available space, budget, and level of maintenance you’re comfortable with.
Artificial grass works well around pool edges, between pavers, on side strips, courtyards, roof terraces, and small lawns that are difficult to maintain.
During a site visit, we’ll recommend which areas are best suited to synthetic grass and how to combine it with paving, decking, or planters for a clean finish.
We serve all areas of Cape Town and its surrounding areas, including, but not limited to, Camps Bay, Sea Point, Plattekloof, Fish Hoek, Lakeside, Constantia, Bishops Court, Sunningdale, Clifton, Bantry Bay, Newlands, Claremont, Waterfront, Bloubergstrand, and, Hout Bay.
Yes. Quality artificial grass is designed to handle water and regular foot traffic. We install it over a prepared base with proper drainage so water from splashing or backwashing doesn’t sit on the surface.
It provides a comfortable, mud-free area around the pool and helps reduce dirt being tracked into the water.
Like most outdoor surfaces, artificial grass can warm up in direct summer sun, but we take factors like colour, density, and orientation into account when recommending products.
We can also suggest layouts that include paving, stepping stones, or shaded areas so the space stays comfortable to walk and relax on during hot days.
Good drainage is essential. We shape and compact the base, install suitable sub-layers, and make sure water can drain away from the pool and buildings.
Around coping and paving, we finish edges carefully to prevent tripping hazards while still allowing water to move off the surface efficiently.
Absolutely. Many of our projects blend artificial grass with timber or composite decking, paved areas, planters, and simple garden beds.
The goal is to create a practical, attractive outdoor space that flows naturally around your pool and suits how you like to entertain.
With a good-quality product and proper installation, artificial grass can last many years, even under Cape Town’s mix of sun, wind, and rain.
Lifespan depends on how much foot traffic the area gets and how well it’s looked after, but for most residential pool areas, you can expect many seasons of reliable use.
Maintenance is simple compared to natural lawn. Occasional brushing to lift the fibres, removing leaves and debris, and rinsing dirt or spills is usually enough.
We’ll show you how to look after your new surface, and if needed, we can include it in a broader pool and outdoor maintenance plan.
Our focus is mostly on poolside and entertainment-area landscaping. We’re a great fit if you want the space directly around your pool, patio, or entertainment area upgraded with artificial grass, paving, and simple garden elements.
