Best Landscape Ideas For Synthetic Turf

Synthetic turf can be both a practical and beautiful addition to your home. Fake turf comes with the benefits of little maintenance including no regular watering to avoid yellowing, no mowing, and absolutely no fertilising. Sounds like the makings of a fabulous summer outdoors!

 

Landscaping with synthetic turf can allow for many opportunities to get creative in order to bring to life an outdoor space that pops with colour, texture, and curb appeal. It’s time to get outside and enjoy the weather without all the work!


Add a patio

As with real turf, synthetic turf for landscaping can cover your entire outdoor space, even if its undercover! Adding a patio built with concrete or decorative paving stones that allows for a seated area and maybe even an outdoor fire pit, can present a wonderfully inviting area. Ashton Elite is a popular variety of turf built with the latest in turf technology that would be perfect for this use. 


Consider concrete pavers

A great way to break up the visual of a larger green area is to place concrete pavers in a geometric pattern, throughout. Your lush, green, Redlands synthetic turf remains a focal point and the pavers provide contrasting colour. You might line one side of your lawn with pavers, spaced evenly apart in a checkerboard pattern, or create a line around a few sides, or even down the centre for an interesting and unique look.


Decorate poolside

Fake turf can also be an ideal addition next to your inground pool. This way, you don’t have to concern yourself with grass clippings constantly finding their way into the pool and you can have a softer surface on which to lounge and relax. You might want to keep about half a metre of concrete or paving stone around the edge of the pool for exiting and entering or as a stylish visual frame. We recommend a Bath Royale as it’s a dense, luxurious turf, making it ideal for this type of use.


Add greenery to the driveway

Do you love the look of a driveway paved with checkerboard squares of concrete interspersed with grass? Known as grass block pavers, it’s a stylish, high-end look that adds colour and more visual appeal than a plain concrete driveway. But maintaining real grass in this pattern can be time consuming and difficult. Synthetic grass can be the perfect solution! It always looks great and is ready for use. This same design can also be applied elsewhere in your yard like along walkways and garden paths. 


Decorate your balcony or porch

Perhaps you don’t have a large front or backyard and your favourite spot for rest and relaxation is on a balcony or porch. While wood or concrete floors provide traditional surfaces in these areas, adding synthetic turf can really make the space pop and provide added comfort and softness. On its own or paired with tile, rocks, concrete, or wood, fake grass can easily bring the look of the outdoors to apartment balconies. It can also cover the floor of your porch, making it more appealing.

 

Synthetic turf as a landscaping tool is an ideal solution for anyone who wants to avoid the constant upkeep required with a real grass lawn. This approach can help you save money and guarantees a great looking outdoor space no matter the weather or location. By adding a patio, concrete pavers, grass block pavers, and synthetic grass poolside and on decks and porches, you can create a beautiful outdoor living space with very minimal up keep.
