Maintenance is the Key To keeping our grass the best. A Step-By-Step Guide on How to Install Synthetic Grass
Pre-Installation
Remove existing materials. Demolition involves the removal of any existing materials whether it is soil, weeds, or any substance above ground. By rough grading the area and uncovering everything underneath including electric wiring, irrigation, pipes, etc–we can get a solid sub base for the project.
Base Prepartion
Gravel DG Mix—the next step is to install the base material. This is a special mixture of gravel and sand which allows for proper drainage. Install 3 inches in depth. For a non-pet landscape installation, the base material should be installed to a depth of 3 inches.
Compacting Base
Next, we wet the existing base to allow for proper settling.
Compaction—compaction is accomplished by vibrating, tamping, and rolling the gravel. This establishes a solid base in which to drive the nails while installing the turf. Any additional leveling or grading can be done at this time.
Custom Fitting Turf
When trimming the turf to fit the area properly you should over cut the turf by one inch along the edges. This provides the excess turf necessary for tucking. When in doubt, cut the turf fatter as it can always be trimmed later. When seaming, it is recommended to use the seaming tool.
Tucking Turf Edges
Tucking the turf involves hiding the edges of the turf against any hardscape or edging boarder by using a metal bar called a wonder bar. The side edges of the turf give it a good clean plush look.
Applying Proper Infill
In this phase a power brush is used. The heavy bristled brush is used to pull against the grain of the grass causing it to stand up in preparation for applying the durafill sand. Next apply the infill or durafill sand. The durafill sand is anti-bacterial and not harmful for pets or children. Spread the granules evenly throughout the turf installation.
The final grooming step involves power brushing the turf once again, lightly, to force the Envirofill granules into the base of the turf for settling and optimal stability. Follow up the process to remove any excess debris.
