Create the Perfect Flagstaff Backyard: Bocce, Pickleball, and Turf That Ties It All Together
Backyards have always been areas to unwind and socialize, but more Flagstaff homeowners are turning them into active spaces for sports and leisure. From casual bocce games to America’s fastest-growing sport, pickleball, a strategically planned backyard can create lasting connections like nothing else.
The key to making it all work? A surface that looks great, plays well, drains quickly, and doesn’t demand endless upkeep. That’s where artificial turf excels.
ARTIFICIAL TURF: THE IDEAL FOR BACKYARD GAMES
Traditional lawn turf grass is attractive, but it comes with a long list of chores — irrigating, cutting, fertilizing, and patching. For sports areas, that means unsteady surfaces, messy areas, and unreliable performance.
Artificial turf provides the same fresh look without the headaches. A proper artificial turf installation gives you a smooth, consistent surface that endures constant activity, year-round. Turf also ties areas together between different sections — like a bocce lane, a pickleball court, and seating areas — so your backyard feels connected and intentional.
ARTIFICIAL TURF FOR BOCCE COURTS
Bocce is a game of accuracy, and the surface you play on matters. Grass deteriorates and gravel moves, leaving you with frustrating gameplay. Southwest Greens artificial bocce turf provides a flat, uniform base that keeps the match fair.
Another win for turf? Drainage. Synthetic turf solutions from Southwest Greens are designed to drain water fast, so your bocce lane stays playable even after rain. No standing water, no mud, just steady performance in all seasons. And since fake grass doesn’t require weekly lawn care, you can save hours on upkeep and enjoy longer matches.
PICKLEBALL AND TURF: THE PERFECT MATCH
Pickleball courts are typically made of concrete or asphalt, but the spaces around the court play an important part in gameplay. Artificial turf makes a smart addition:
- It creates a clean, comfortable edge that keeps dirt and weeds down.
- Turf areas can be used for pre-game prep, cooldowns, or relaxation.
- The soft surface is easier on feet and joints compared to hard surfaces like asphalt.
- By framing a pickleball court with synthetic turf, you get a backyard setup that looks polished, supports better performance, and requires little effort.
SPEND TIME PLAYING, NOT MAINTAINING
Think about the time it takes to care for real grass: mowing every week, constant watering during hot months, and regularly fixing bare patches. Artificial turf takes those chores away. No irrigation. No pesticides. No precious time spent on upkeep.
With professional artificial turf installation, you get a surface that stays lush and ready for use without the work. That means extra hours for play and fun instead of maintaining it.
DESIGNING A BACKYARD THAT BRINGS IT ALL TOGETHER
A great backyard is about more than adding one attraction — it’s about how everything works together. Imagine stepping out to a space where sports courts and artificial turf areas flow seamlessly, united by rich green turf. Southwest Greens experts can tailor your layout to fit any backyard size, whether you have limited outdoor space or room to spare.
