A big yard is a major asset—but it can also be a lot to maintain. Mowing, watering, patching, and planning around open space gets old fast. That’s why artificial turf is an ideal solution for large properties—it provides consistent beauty, requires almost no upkeep, and opens the door to design freedom.

At Kingswood Turf, we help homeowners design custom turf layouts that are functional, modern, and tailored to their lifestyle. Here are smart ways to use artificial turf across a spacious backyard (or front yard!) while maximizing every square foot.

1. Create Distinct “Zones” for Activities

A large yard doesn’t have to be one big green space. Break it up into usable zones using turf as the foundation.

Popular zones include:

• Lounge area with turf under outdoor furniture
• Kid play zone near a swing set or sandbox
• Pet relief area in a quiet corner
• Garden or raised bed section with turf paths in between

✅ Defined zones give your yard purpose and visual variety.

2. Frame Features with Turf for a Polished Look

If you have:

• A pool
• A pergola
• A fire pit
• A patio or deck

…turf can surround and soften these features, reducing the need for mulch or grass while keeping your space clean and cool.

3. Combine Turf with Natural Elements

In larger yards, blending turf with gravel, stone, or wood can make your landscape feel cohesive and custom.

Try:

• Turf + decomposed granite paths
• Turf between stepping stones
• Turf framed by native plants or river rock borders

✅ It keeps your outdoor space interesting, layered, and natural.

4. Add a Custom Putting Green or Sports Area

Big yards give you room to play—literally. Use that space for:

• A multi-hole putting green
• A mini soccer field
• A bocce ball lane
• A turf-lined cornhole court

Kingswood Turf installs sports turf systems designed for daily use and built to last.

5. Use Curves to Break Up Large Open Spaces

A single rectangular turf install may feel flat in a large yard. Instead, consider:

• Flowing turf lines
• Curved garden edges
• Organic-shaped turf islands or seating areas

✅ Curves add softness, movement, and elegance to large-scale layouts.

6. Keep Maintenance Low Without Sacrificing Style

A turf-covered large yard eliminates:

• Weekly mowing
• Watering large areas
• Seasonal lawn repair

And with Kingswood Turf’s durable, fade-resistant materials, your space stays green and usable all year long.
