Build the Perfect Edmonton Backyard: Bocce, Pickleball, and Turf That Ties It All Together
Backyards have always been a place to relax and connect, but more Edmonton homeowners are turning them into active spaces for fun, play, and entertainment. From friendly bocce matches to America’s fastest-growing sport, pickleball, a well-planned outdoor area can unite loved ones like nothing else.
The key to making it all work? A backyard surface that blends beauty, performance, and easy care. That’s where artificial turf shines.
WHY ARTIFICIAL TURF IS THE PERFECT FOUNDATION FOR BACKYARD GAMES?
Traditional lawn turf grass is beautiful, but it comes with endless upkeep demands — irrigating, cutting, fertilizing, and patching. For sports areas, that means uneven footing, messy areas, and poor game quality.
Artificial turf offers the same green appeal without the headaches. A professional artificial turf installation gives you a flat, durable foundation that stands up to heavy use, throughout the year. Turf also provides seamless flow between different areas — like a bocce court, a pickleball court, and lounge space — so your backyard feels well-designed and unified.
ARTIFICIAL TURF FOR BOCCE COURTS
Bocce is centered on control, and a quality surface is essential. Grass deteriorates and gravel moves, leaving you with unpredictable ball rolls. Specialized bocce turf from Southwest Greens provides a flat, uniform base that lets the game flow.
Another win for turf? Drainage. Synthetic turf solutions from Southwest Greens are built to move water away quickly, so your bocce lane stays usable no matter the forecast. No puddles, no mud, just reliable gameplay throughout the year. And since fake grass doesn’t require constant trimming or replanting, you can skip the hard work and more time playing.
PICKLEBALL AND TURF: THE PERFECT MATCH
Pickleball courts are typically hard-surfaced, but the edges and borders play an important part in gameplay. Artificial turf makes a great match:
- It provides neat and soft borders that controls weeds and dust.
- Turf areas can be used for exercise, rest, or sideline seating.
- The cushioned ground is kinder to your body compared to unpadded natural ground or concrete.
- By surrounding the court with synthetic turf, you get a backyard layout that’s both stylish and functional, improves overall play, and stays easy to manage.
SPEND TIME PLAYING, NOT MAINTAINING
Think about the time it takes to care for real grass: regular lawn mowing, constant watering during hot months, and endlessly patching thin areas. Artificial turf removes all of that. No irrigation. No pesticides. No precious time spent on upkeep.
With expert artificial turf installation, you get a surface that remains green and game-ready without the work. That means extra hours for play and fun instead of worrying about chores.
