Create the Perfect Oakley Backyard: Bocce, Pickleball, and Turf in Harmony
Backyards have always been spaces for rest and gathering together, but more Oakley homeowners are turning them into active spaces for games and gathering. From casual bocce games to the growing game of pickleball, a thoughtfully designed backyard can bring family and friends together 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 comes in.
WHY ARTIFICIAL TURF IS THE PERFECT FOUNDATION FOR BACKYARD GAMES?
Traditional lawn turf grass is beautiful, but it comes with a long list of chores — watering, mowing, seeding, and constant repair. For game courts, that means slippery ground, muddy patches, and poor game quality.
Artificial turf delivers the same fresh look 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 ties areas together between different areas — like a bocce court, a pickleball court, and lounge space — so your backyard feels cohesive and purposeful.
WHY TURF WORKS FOR BOCCE
Bocce is a game of accuracy, and a quality surface is essential. Grass deteriorates and gravel moves, leaving you with inconsistent play. Southwest Greens bocce turf provides a consistent foundation that supports accurate play.
Another win for turf? Drainage. Southwest Greens turf systems are engineered for rapid drainage, so your bocce lane stays playable even after rain. No standing water, no mess, 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 MEETS ARTIFICIAL TURF
Pickleball courts are typically built on solid surfaces, but the spaces around the court play a big role in the experience. Artificial turf makes a great match:
- It provides neat and soft borders 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 design that feels complete, improves overall play, and remains low-maintenance.
LESS MAINTENANCE, MORE FUN
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 takes those chores away. No irrigation. No pesticides. No weekend wasted on lawn care.
With professional artificial turf installation, you get a surface that stays lush and ready for use without the work. That means longer days spent relaxing with friends instead of fighting yardwork.
DESIGNING A BACKYARD THAT BRINGS IT ALL TOGETHER
A great backyard is about more than having one feature — it’s about how everything works together. Imagine stepping out to a space where sports courts and artificial turf areas blend together effortlessly, brought together with lush artificial turf.
