Build the Ultimate Vancouver Backyard: Bocce, Pickleball, and Turf That Ties It All Together
Backyards have always been areas to unwind and socialize, but more Vancouver homeowners are transforming them into activity hubs for fun, play, and entertainment. From friendly bocce matches to the booming popularity of 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 — watering, trimming, and fixing bare spots. For game courts, that means uneven footing, muddy patches, and poor game quality.
Artificial turf provides the same natural appearance without the headaches. A professional artificial turf installation gives you a smooth, even playing field that stands up to heavy use, year-round. Turf also ties areas together between different zones — like your bocce court, a pickleball court, and lounge space — so your backyard feels connected and intentional.
ARTIFICIAL TURF FOR BOCCE COURTS
Bocce is a game of accuracy, and a quality surface is essential. Gravel shifts and grass wears down, leaving you with unpredictable ball rolls. Southwest Greens bocce turf provides a flat, uniform base that lets the game flow.
Another win for turf? Drainage. Southwest Greens turf systems are built to move water away quickly, so your bocce lane stays playable even after rain. No standing water, no mud, just consistent play year-round. And since fake grass doesn’t require mowing or reseeding, you can spend less time maintaining and more time playing.
PICKLEBALL MEETS ARTIFICIAL TURF
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 great match:
- It forms tidy, cushioned boundaries that reduces debris and growth.
- Turf areas can be used for pre-game prep, cooldowns, or relaxation.
- The cushioned ground is easier on feet and joints compared to hard surfaces like asphalt.
- By adding synthetic turf around your pickleball setup, you get a backyard setup that looks polished, supports better performance, and requires little effort.
SPEND TIME PLAYING, NOT MAINTAINING
Think about the effort involved in keeping a grass yard: regular lawn mowing, watering daily in hot weather, and constantly repairing worn-out spots. Artificial turf takes those chores away. No irrigation. No chemicals. No precious time spent on upkeep.
With expert artificial turf installation, you get a surface that always looks vibrant and playable without the work. That means longer days spent relaxing with friends instead of maintaining it.
DESIGNING A BACKYARD THAT BRINGS IT ALL TOGETHER
A great backyard is about more than installing a single element — it’s about how everything works together.
