Sod for around a new pool?

I live in Montgomery, Al and we just had an inground pool put in and now we only have a bunch of rocks and dirt piled up where grass used to be. They had to build the pool up a bit so there are drop-offs now and the yard basically slopes down around the pool. We have no irrigation system and it will get pretty much full sunlight. What is the best type of sod to use? We’re quite confused on what our next step should be. The pool is real nice but I’m concerned about people tripping off the sides of the walkway around the pool, it’s quite dangerous right now if you ask me….thanks for any help you can offer!

Get yourself some ‘Tifway 419’ hybrid bermuda sod.
