Thinking of installing artificial turf? Great move—but not all turf is created equal. Your yard’s layout, sunlight, and how you plan to use the space all play a huge role in choosing the right turf for your home.

At Kingswood Turf, we tailor every installation to your lifestyle and property conditions. Here’s a simple guide to help you pick the perfect turf based on sun exposure, foot traffic, and functionality.

☀️ 1. Full Sun Areas: Go for Heat-Resistant Turf with Cooling Infill

If your yard gets 6+ hours of direct sunlight daily, you’ll need:

• Turf with UV-stabilized fibers to resist fading
• Lighter-colored blades to reflect heat
• Cooling infill options to reduce surface temperature

✅ Ideal for wide-open backyards, pool surrounds, or south-facing lawns.

🌳 2. Shaded or Partially Shaded Yards: Choose Durable, Soft Blades

Turf in shaded areas can collect more debris or moisture. Choose turf with:

• Antimicrobial backing to prevent odor or mold
• A softer texture for comfort in cooler zones
• A higher pile for plushness under trees or eaves

✅ Perfect for side yards, under pergolas, or beneath mature trees.

👟 3. High-Traffic Zones: Prioritize Durability and Recovery

If your yard sees daily action—like kids playing or pets running—look for:

• Durable turf with a shorter, denser blade
• Resilient fibers that bounce back quickly
• Reinforced seams and heavy-duty infill

✅ Great for play areas, walkways, and pet zones.

🛋️ 4. Lounge & Entertaining Areas: Choose Comfort + Appearance

If your turf is mostly for relaxing, choose grass that:

• Looks as real as possible with multi-toned blades
• Has a mid-to-high pile height for soft walking
• Feels comfortable underfoot or when sitting

✅ Ideal for fire pit areas, outdoor lounges, or dining spaces.

🐶 5. Pet-Friendly Spaces: Focus on Drainage and Clean-Up

If your furry friends will be using the turf regularly, you’ll want:

• Fast-draining, perforated backing
• Antimicrobial pet-friendly infill
• Shorter pile turf for easier waste removal

✅ Designated dog runs or corner potty zones work great with this type.

🧩 6. Mixed-Use Yards: Customize by Zone

Got a little bit of everything? You don’t have to choose just one style. Kingswood Turf can:

• Combine different turf types for different areas
• Add pavers, gravel, or garden borders to divide functions
• Design a layout that matches your exact needs

✅ Your lawn should reflect your life, not limit it.

Choosing the Right Turf = Better Performance and Long-Term Satisfaction

The right turf makes all the difference. It’ll last longer, feel better, and work harder—whether you're hosting a party, walking the dog, or watching the kids play outside.

At Kingswood Turf, we help you make the smart choice based on how you live, where you live, and what you want your yard to do for you.
