How to Keep Your Inflatable Pool from Killing the Grass Underneath

The summer months welcome sunshine, ice cream, and swimming in the pool, which means families all over the world will be blowing up inflatable pools and setting them up in the yard for their children. 

The best way to protect your grass from your inflatable pool is to drain it and put it away every day, and then place it in a different location the next day. 

That way, the same patch of grass will not be suffocated from the sun for long periods of time.  

Put a Barrier Between the Pool and Grass

Some options include:  – A large tarp – Pool floor liner pad – Ground cloths specifically made for above-ground pool.

These products work by providing small air pockets under the pool surface that the grass can use to survive for a short amount of time. 

Dormant Grass Repair

The following steps can bring the grass back to life after being covered for two weeks or less:  

– Water the grass right away and for at least a few inches deep because it has been deprived of both water and oxygen. – Pull all of the weeds because they will starve your grass by taking away the nutrients it needs to get back its green color and start growing fully again.

– Dormant grass actually grows at a much slower rate, so many people think it does not need to be mowed. However, mowing the grass will help the grass grow back.

– Leave the grass clippings on the lawn so that they naturally fertilize the grass as it starts to grow back. Do not use store-bought fertilizer, as it will not bring the lawn out of dormancy, and the blades will return more quickly than the roots. – After you water, pull the weeds, mow, and fertilize, you will want to reduce foot traffic in the area as much as possible to protect the grass and give it time to repair.

Here are the steps like above:   – Water – Pull the weed – Mow the gra – Fertilize with store-bought compost, organic matter, lawn food, or turf builder – Reduce foot traffic in the area – Overseed the area
