Summer Backyard Prep: How to Get Your Turf-Installed Yard Party-Ready
February 3, 2025

Summer is the season of pool parties, BBQs, outdoor movie nights, and relaxed afternoons in the backyard. And if your lawn is already rocking a Kingswood Turf install, you’re halfway there. The beauty of turf is that it stays green, clean, and guest-ready all season—with just a few quick prep steps.

Whether you're hosting a graduation party or casual weekend get-togethers, here’s how to make sure your turf-covered yard is summer-ready.

☀️ 1. Give It a Light Rinse and Brush

Turf doesn’t need heavy maintenance, but a quick refresh goes a long way.

Before guests arrive:

  • Rinse with a garden hose to remove dust or pollen
  • Lightly brush with a turf broom to lift the blades and reset high-traffic zones

It’ll look freshly installed—without hours of yardwork.

🍹 2. Designate Party Zones

Make your yard more functional by organizing zones:

  • Lounge space with turf under seating or bean bags
  • Dining zone with turf beneath tables or pergolas
  • Games zone for cornhole, putting greens, or yard games

Turf provides a consistent, soft surface for barefoot comfort across all zones.

💡 3. Add Lighting for Evening Vibes

Your turf looks great during the day—but don’t forget the ambiance once the sun sets.

Ideas include:

  • String lights hung across a pergola or fence
  • Solar turf stakes to outline gathering areas
  • LED spotlights for highlighting greenery or garden beds

Lighting transforms your turf space into an all-evening destination.

🧺 4. Keep It Cool and Comfy

Turf stays cooler than concrete, but for ultimate comfort:

  • Set up umbrellas or a pop-up canopy
  • Use cooling turf infill (ask Kingswood Turf for details)
  • Place breathable outdoor rugs for added texture and style

Your guests stay cool—and your turf stays stylish.

🐾 5. Freshen Up Pet Zones

If pets share the yard:

  • Rinse their turf area
  • Add turf deodorizer if needed
  • Brush fibers to restore fluffiness

Your space will stay fresh and guest-friendly all weekend long.

🔥 6. Stage Around the Fire Pit or Grill

Turf looks amazing next to fire features and outdoor kitchens. For safety and style:

  • Use gravel or paver pads directly under heat sources
  • Surround the area with turf for soft, usable space

It balances modern hardscape with cozy green space for lounging and dining.
