Just because your yard is on the smaller side doesn’t mean you can’t upgrade your space with artificial grass! If you’re tired of patchy natural grass dulling your property’s exterior and are looking for fun and interesting ways to bring life back to your outdoor space, take a look at our collection of creative small yard landscaping tips below.

Less-Is-More Approach

Sometimes, decking out your synthetic grass backyard with lawn ornaments and other accessories can make your space feel smaller and limit your enjoyment of it. Consider letting the even appearance and the perfect green color of your new lawn speak for itself. This will also help your lawn look larger, with no interruptions or obstacles to block sightlines.

Define Your Border

One of the most attractive parts of your synthetic grass lawn is the perfect symmetry it can offer to your space. Enhance these clean lines by lining the perimeter of your lawn with plants, rocks, or pavers. Raised borders with brick can offer a bit of traditional charm, while defining your turf edges with rustic wood elements gives a from-the-earth feel.

Functional Elegance

Your artificial turf lawn is also the foundation for a comfortable outdoor lounging space. Adding cozy chairs on top of soft, cushioned turf makes it easy to enjoy the lovely Colorado outdoors and the cool, crisp mountain air. For front lawns that lead up to an entryway, line the edges of your turf with lights to illuminate your path.

Pathways with Purpose

The pathway to your home doesn’t have to be basic. You can create a fairytale-like environment in your front or backyard by crafting walkways made of materials like cobblestone, bluestone, or even limestone. Paint eclectic patterns on the stone as a custom way of introducing friends, family, and loved ones to your home. Natural-looking synthetic grass that gently springs up between each stepping stone will only add to the magical aura of your home’s exterior.

Multi-Use Space

Have a golf fan at home? Consider using part of your synthetic grass lawn as a mini putting green. This is perfect for small balcony spaces or backyard areas with minimal space, as putting doesn’t require a ton of dynamic movement. That means there’s plenty of space for other functional elements, such as a lounging area for your pet or a scenic space for a peaceful water feature.
