Just bought a home? Congratulations! Whether it’s your starter house or your forever space, chances are you’re already dreaming about outdoor upgrades. And if mowing, watering, and weeding don’t sound appealing, artificial turf might be your perfect lawn solution.

At Kingswood Turf, we work with new homeowners across the DFW area to create clean, low-maintenance outdoor spaces. Here’s what you need to know before starting your first turf project.

1. Start with a Purpose: How Will You Use the Space?

Before choosing a turf product or layout, consider your lifestyle:

• Do you have kids or pets?
• Will the yard be used for entertaining?
• Are you looking for low-maintenance landscaping or something sporty like a putting green?

✅ Your answer determines which turf features—blade height, infill type, padding—you’ll need.

2. Measure Twice, Budget Once

It’s tempting to turf the whole yard—but many first-time homeowners save money by starting with:

• High-traffic areas
• Small side yards
• Pet zones or play areas
• Front yard curb appeal zones

Kingswood Turf offers custom estimates based on space, so you get the most out of your budget without wasting material.

3. Don’t Overlook Drainage (It Matters!)

A good turf install starts below the surface. Proper grading and drainage prep prevents:

• Puddles and standing water
• Pet odor buildup
• Sinking or uneven turf

✅ We handle drainage and base compaction to ensure your turf lasts 15+ years—no shortcuts.

4. Skip DIY—Here’s Why

Installing turf takes more than just rolling out grass. Without the right equipment and prep, you risk:

• Wrinkling or buckling
• Uneven seams
• Poor drainage
• Shortened lifespan

Hiring Kingswood Turf means expert craftsmanship, top-tier materials, and zero stress for you as a new homeowner.

5. Consider Pairing Turf with Hardscape or Landscape Features

For a well-rounded yard, think beyond just turf:

• Add paver walkways
• Include gravel for drainage zones
• Frame turf with garden beds or decorative edging

✅ We’ll help you design a complete space that feels modern, polished, and personalized.

6. Ask About Warranty and Support

New homeowners often overlook post-installation needs. Kingswood Turf provides:

• Product warranties
• Expert maintenance tips
• Long-term support if you ever want to expand or refresh your turf layout

We’re not just here for install day—we’re your turf partner long after.

Your First Yard, Done Right

Artificial turf gives you a clean, beautiful lawn from day one—without all the headaches of traditional lawn care. And for new homeowners, that means more time enjoying your space and less time working on it.
