Unique Artificial Turf Applications: How Designers Are Thinking Beyond the Lawn

July 1, 2016

Designers and creators everywhere are discovering unique artificial turf applications that go far beyond traditional lawns. Artificial turf brings color, texture, and creativity to projects while staying eco-friendly and low-maintenance. At Watersavers Turf, our experts can help you choose the best style for your next design.

Why Artificial Turf Is a Smart, Sustainable Choice

Artificial turf saves water, reduces maintenance, and delivers long-lasting beauty in any climate. For every square foot of natural grass replaced, you can save up to 55 gallons of water per year. There’s no mowing, no mud, and no mess—just a lush, vibrant look all year long.

Our synthetic turf stands up to heavy foot traffic, resists UV damage, and keeps its rich color in the sun. It’s non-toxic, allergy-friendly, and even deters insects—making it a clean, green solution for any space.

Creative and Unique Uses for Artificial Turf

Artificial turf is easy to cut, shape, and install—making it perfect for unexpected design ideas. Here are some of the most unique artificial turf applications we’ve seen:

Fashion Shows and Runways

Designers love turf’s dramatic effect. During New York Fashion Week, Tommy Hilfiger used artificial turf to celebrate 30 years in sportswear design, creating a vivid green runway that made his collection pop.

Storefronts and Retail Displays

Retailers use turf to draw attention and set the scene. The Ralph Lauren flagship store in New York used synthetic grass in its window displays to create a fresh, inviting look that stopped shoppers in their tracks.

Museums and Exhibits

Artificial turf adds texture and realism to exhibits—especially for natural history displays featuring animals or outdoor environments. It’s an easy way to transform a static space into a lifelike setting.

Photo Shoots and Set Design

Photographers love artificial turf for its consistent color and outdoor feel. It’s perfect for showing off patio furniture, outdoor décor, or garden products—without worrying about weather or maintenance.

Weddings and Special Events

Couples are turning to turf for outdoor ceremonies and receptions. It keeps dresses and shoes clean, provides even footing, and looks beautiful in gazebos, tents, and garden venues. Rain or shine, it keeps the celebration looking picture-perfect.

Parties and Festivals

From kids’ birthdays to summer luaus, turf instantly transforms any space. Indoors or out, it adds a playful, lush touch that guests love.

“Green Carpet” Events

Want to roll out something more eco-friendly than a red carpet? Many high-profile events, including the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards, have swapped red for green to make a stylish statement.

Artificial Turf in High-End Design

From rooftop patios at Trump Tower to the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week runway, artificial turf continues to inspire architects and designers. Its versatility and durability make it an essential material for creative professionals looking for something fresh and functional.
