Holiday Decorating Tips for Turf-Covered Yards
November 4, 2024

One of the best things about artificial turf? It looks amazing all year—and the holidays are no exception. Whether you're going big for Halloween, lighting up the block for Christmas, or just adding a festive touch to your entryway, your turf-covered yard can absolutely be decorated for the holidays.

At Kingswood Turf, we install durable, weather-resistant turf that’s easy to style and hard to damage. Here are some holiday decorating tips to make your turf festive without any fuss.

🎄 1. Use Lightweight, Lawn-Safe Décor

Avoid heavy decorations that might leave long-term impressions or damage turf fibers. Instead, go for:

  • Inflatable decorations
  • LED lawn stakes
  • Light-up reindeer or snowmen with wide, flat bases
  • Holiday-themed yard signs with turf-safe stakes

Pro tip: Anchor items with sandbags or turf pins rather than sharp stakes.

2. Add String Lights Along Turf Borders

Use turf edges, fences, or planters to run:

  • Twinkling white lights
  • Multi-color LEDs
  • Icicle or cascading curtain lights

Avoid nailing into the turf or driving stakes directly into the artificial grass base. Instead, use clips or secure lighting around hardscape borders.

❄️ 3. Decorate Without the Mess

No more tracking mud through your home after setting up yard décor! Turf stays clean and dry, making setup (and takedown) way easier.

Perfect for families or pets who love to hang out while you decorate.

🦃 4. Celebrate Multiple Holidays With Quick Swaps

Because turf stays green year-round, it makes the perfect backdrop for rotating decorations:

  • Pumpkins and hay bales for fall
  • String lights and candy canes for winter
  • Lawn hearts for Valentine’s Day
  • Easter eggs or bunny statues in spring

Turf keeps your yard looking tidy and styled—no patchy grass or muddy beds to distract from the décor.

🛑 5. Avoid These Turf No-Nos During the Holidays

To keep your lawn looking perfect:

  • Don’t use sharp tent stakes or nails
  • Don’t place hot items (like fire pits or direct lights) directly on turf
  • Don’t overload one spot with heavy décor for weeks at a time

If you're unsure about an item, ask the Kingswood Turf team for placement tips.

🎁 6. Highlight Your Turf with Clean Pathways and Edging

Add visual appeal by outlining turf areas with:

  • Solar holiday lights
  • Light-up candy canes or lanterns
  • Oversized bows on edging or fence posts

It draws attention to the beauty of your yard while keeping the theme festive.
