How Orlando's Game-Day Parties Get Epic with These Simple Backyard Upgrades

When the college football kicks off or the NFL hit the field, Orlando homeowners know one thing: game day is an experience.

Whether you’re hosting a rowdy college football tailgate or a laid-back Sunday watch party, your outdoor space should be ready to impress. And with just a few smart upgrades, your yard can go from basic to unbeatable.

At DelaTurf, we’ve seen it firsthand: a few custom touches can turn your backyard into Orlando’s go-to hangout spot this football season.

Artificial Grass = The Ultimate Game-Day Turf

No more muddy patches. No more yellow spots. And definitely no more stressing over lawn care before kickoff.

Artificial grass is the game-changer for Florida football fans. It keeps your yard green, even during Orlando’s unpredictable weather could mean a downpour before halftime or a scorching tailgate at noon. Unlike real grass, synthetic turf doesn’t get slippery, soggy, or torn up by foot traffic.

And let’s be honest, there’s something incredibly satisfying about tossing a football around on turf that looks and feels perfect all year long.

Plus, with water conservation top of mind, Orlando’s Utilities Commission has begun offering rebates that support drought-tolerant landscaping. It’s a win for your water bill and your weekends.

Custom Pavers: Style Meets Functionality

Your backyard shouldn’t feel like an afterthought and pavers instantly elevate the look while serving a serious purpose. It’s a dedicated space for your grill station, a polished area for lounge chairs, or even a walkway to your viewing setup. Custom pavers bring durability and curb appeal to your home.

Forget dragging chairs through uneven grass or worrying about muddy feet in the house, pavers provide the structure and stability game-day gatherings need. And with DelaTurf’s design options, you can match your outdoor flooring to your home’s aesthetic.

Bonus: You’ll never have to deal with cracked concrete again.

Pergolas: Shade, Style & Watch-Party Worthy Vibes

Orlando sun doesn’t let up just because it's football season. A custom pergola  adds sophistication to your yard and offers a shaded, breezy space to keep guests comfortable all day long. DelaTurf’s pergolas are fully customizable! If you want something modern and sleek or rustic and cozy, add string lights, fans, or even a mounted outdoor TV, and suddenly you’ve built your own outdoor sports bar without ever leaving the house.

You’ll become the BEST host for tailgates, fantasy draft nights, and post-game celebrations.

Don’t Let Another Season Slip By

Football season has officially kicked off in Florida and there’s no better time to turn your backyard into an MVP-level gathering space. Whether you’re cheering for UCF, Gators, Noles, the Bucs, Dolphins or just showing up for the snacks, artificial turf, paver installations, and pergolas can totally transform your Orlando backyard into a game-day destination.
