Picture this: You’ve just got a new lazy spa hot tub, it’s all ready to be set up but what can you put it over? Hot tubs can damage your lawn badly, water with chlorine splashing onto the grass can kill it. Then you must consider hot tubs are heavy – grass can’t support much so after a time you may find your new lazy spa sinks into the ground and could leave your hot tub unbalanced. So, what can you put under a hot tub?
Can you put a hot tub on fake grass?
Yes! Artificial grass is a great alternative when you’re looking for something to put your hot tub over, there are many benefits to choosing a synthetic turf over real grass in this situation. Here we’ll list for you some of the best reasons to pick a synthetic turf to go under your hot tub.
It’s Low Maintenance
No need to mow the lawn, or add weedkillers, no grass clippings to dispose of. Just lay it down, maybe brush off any debris occasionally or spray it with a hose if you get anything on it and enjoy! It will stay in shape year-round and doesn’t require constant effort to look after and maintain.
It’s great for drainage
Fake grass tends to drain water away much faster than grass lawns. So, if you’re splashing around in your new hot tub then you don’t need to worry nearly as much about making puddles on the ground, plus artificial grass gives you a non-slip surface for when you’re climbing out with wet feet.
You can install it almost anywhere
Let’s say you don’t want to put it on the lawn, you’d rather have it on the deck but with grass underneath, or you’ve got a balcony you’d love to have your hot tub on, or even in a gazebo. That’s much easier to do with artificial grass, so long as you have a flat surface, you can put artificial turf more or less anywhere and still get all the other benefits from it too.
There are all kinds of reasons to install artificial grass around your pool, and even if you change your mind after a while, the soil underneath will still be as good as new! It’s a cost-effective option when you’re looking at putting in a hot tub.
