Side yards often get overlooked. They’re narrow, shaded, hard to mow, and usually just become storage space or forgotten pathways. But with a little creativity and some premium artificial turf, you can turn that underused area into one of your home’s most valuable outdoor features.

At Kingswood Turf, we help homeowners reimagine side yards with clean, custom turf installs that make small spaces both functional and beautiful. Here are some inspiring turf ideas for side yard transformations.

1. Build a Private Pet Relief Area

Don’t want your whole yard to be a dog bathroom? Use your side yard as a designated pet zone.

Turf benefits include:

• Easy cleanup with pet-safe infill
• Drainage system for fast drying
• Clean paws = clean floors

✅ Great for homes with dogs and tight fencing.

2. Create a Zen Pathway with Turf & Stones

Combine turf with stepping stones or gravel to build a stylish, low-maintenance walkway.

Design ideas:

• Turf between pavers for a modern look
• Curved turf strips around planters or lighting
• Decorative rock edges or mulch borders

✅ Gives your side yard both movement and beauty.

3. Add a Cozy Bistro or Lounge Area

Even narrow spaces can become intimate outdoor seating zones with turf underfoot.

Try:

• A small café table and chairs
• Outdoor string lights and wall-mounted plants
• Turf “rugs” around gravel or deck platforms

✅ Perfect for morning coffee, reading, or evening drinks.

4. Use It as a Low-Key Play Area

Kids need room to move—but it doesn’t have to be the whole yard.

Turf makes your side yard:

• Cushioned and clean
• Always dry (no mud!)
• Great for mini games, hopscotch, or toys

✅ Especially useful for smaller homes or shared yards.

5. Install a Putting Lane or Sport Court Zone

Narrow side yards are ideal for a:

• Mini putting green
• Turf-lined putting lane with one or two cups
• Low-impact area for yoga, stretching, or drills

Kingswood Turf can customize turf shape, roll speed, and layout to fit even tight spaces.

6. Make It a Garden Companion Path

Turf doesn’t compete with plants—it frames them beautifully. If you have raised beds or vertical garden walls along your side yard, turf makes:

• A clean walking area
• Easy maintenance access
• An attractive visual contrast

✅ No muddy walkways or dead grass near irrigation lines.

Don’t Let Your Side Yard Go to Waste

With the right turf design, your side yard can go from dead space to a functional, eye-catching extension of your home. Whether you need storage, a play zone, a pet spot, or just want a cleaner look—Kingswood Turf has a custom solution for you.
