Summer is the season for outdoor living—and if your backyard isn’t ready for BBQs, pool days, and sunset lounging, now’s the perfect time to change that. The easiest way to start? Artificial turf.

At Kingswood Turf, we help homeowners across the DFW area design low-maintenance, modern outdoor spaces perfect for summer fun. Here are the top turf-friendly backyard upgrades that will turn your yard into a summer sanctuary.

1. Install a Turf Lounge Area

Trade in patchy grass for a soft, even turf surface perfect for relaxing, reading, or entertaining.

Add:

• Outdoor furniture
• A pergola or umbrella for shade
• LED string lights for evening vibes

✅ It stays green and clean no matter how many guests walk across it.

2. Build a Family-Friendly Play Zone

Kids home for summer break? Keep them entertained in a designated turf area that’s:

• Cushioned for safety
• Clean (no mud or bugs)
• Great for playsets, splash pads, and games

You can even divide space between turf and rubber mulch or install a mini hopscotch or play grid.

3. Add a Backyard Putting Green

Make the most of long summer days with your own custom putting green. Kingswood Turf designs greens for all skill levels, complete with:

• Realistic speed and slope
• Multiple holes for variety
• Seamless turf transitions

✅ Perfect for solo practice or friendly competitions with family and friends.

4. Surround Your Pool with Turf

Concrete can get too hot, and natural grass around a pool turns to mud fast. Artificial turf offers:

• Cool, soft surface for wet feet
• No puddles or soggy patches
• A clean, upscale look

Combine turf with stepping stones, lounge chairs, and lighting for that luxury resort feel.

5. Design a Pet Paradise

Don’t forget the furry family members! Summer means more time outdoors for pets too.

Turf is:

• Easy to clean
• Drains quickly
• Comfortable for paws (especially with cooling infill)

Set up a shaded turf pad or side-yard run so they have a fun, clean place to roam.

6. Combine Turf with Outdoor Features

Artificial turf pairs perfectly with:

• Fire pits
• Outdoor kitchens
• Paver paths or gravel zones
• Raised planters and seating walls

Use turf to soften hardscape areas and make the yard more inviting for barefoot enjoyment.

Why Turf Is the Ultimate Summer Upgrade

Unlike natural grass, artificial turf:

• Stays green with no watering
• Requires no mowing during peak heat
• Handles heavy foot traffic during summer parties
• Makes your yard instantly more enjoyable

At Kingswood Turf, we’ll help you design a space that’s functional, stylish, and ready for endless summer fun.
