The short answer
Natural grass feels cool and soft underfoot but needs water, mowing and time to recover from heavy use. Artificial turf stays green all year, drains fast and needs little care, but can get warm in full sun. For busy pool decks, turf usually wins. For shaded, low-use areas, grass can work well.
