Residential backyard turf installation covers the full back-of-house yard, not just a single patch or courtyard strip. Sun City artificial turf handles backyards that mix open lawn space with patio borders, garden beds, and side access, laying out a plan that fits the whole space instead of treating it as one flat rectangle.
Backyards in Sun City tend to serve a few purposes at once: a space to sit outside, room for a dog, maybe a spot near the patio for guests. Getting the turf right means accounting for all of that in the base prep and layout, not just rolling out grass and calling it done.
