General Guidlines for Consumer Self-Installation

1. Determine areas that you desire to have year- round, serviceable green turf or putting greens. Other areas can be landscaped with decorative rock, mulches, and otherwise xeroscaped to help conserve your total landscaping budget. Drainage and degree of difficulty in construction are always location considerations; our artificial turf is all engineered to work about anywhere a natural turf will.

2. Measure your selected areas to determine how many square feet of turf you will need. Keep in mind that turf rolls are 15' wide and putting green rolls are 12' wide. This will help you control cutting waste. Once you have your areas, size, and location, our sales staff can assemble a cost estimate based on your individual project's requirements. There are some variables between individual applications which will need to be addressed at this time (i.e. depth and type of base course, drainage theory, seam tape and pins needed). This brand of turf does not require rubber or sand infill.

3. Once you have decided all the specifics of your turf project, our sales department can set up the delivery details of your products. You will need to stake out and prepare your area for the base course. When this is done, you are ready for turf. Most applications will need at least three inches of base course under the turf. After the turf is down, all seams are taped and turf edges are staked or otherwise secured, the infill is installed. For added cushion you can add infill. Infill will be about 2.5 pounds of sand per sq. ft. and 1/2 to 3 pounds of rubber per sq. ft., depending on how much cushion you want.

Residential Turf Installation

1. AREA First, stake out the install area. Excavate down a minimum of 3 to 5 inches to remove all organics (i.e. grass, plants, roots) and debris. This is the hard part but will be worth the trouble. In some areas, this may not be necessary but remember this:
A ) No organic materials or debris on subgrade.
B)You will be adding 3+ inches of base course and compacting it to form the final grades for shape and grade.

2. BASE COURSE Spread and compact base course. Class 6 road base works well. After the base is spread and raked to satisfaction, it must be rolled down with a walk-behind roller or plate compactor. This will compact the base and provide a smooth surface for the turf. Remember the turf will conform exactly to the base, including any bumps, rocks and ridges. You may have to add some water to the base to get proper compaction.

3. EDGES The edges of the turf can be spiked down with edging pins, spikes, or bordered with any type of lawn edging.

4. LAY DOWN When the base course is prepared, you are ready for turf. Roll out your turf just as you would carpet.

5. CUTS Cut around objects such as trees, bushes, etc. by lifting the turf and cutting to shape from the bottom or back rather than the top. A sharp utility knife will work nicely.

6. SEAMS Use a Eurathane based glue/ tape for your seams. We have the recommended tape. Make sure the tufts on the back run in the same direction when securing the turf. The backs of the turf must be clean and dry.

7. STAKE We carry a 8" Spiral Stake and also pins that can be used to anchor your turf. First stake the edges, then move outward from a corner and stake about every square yard. It is helpful to use the pins on seams because they are shaped to go into both pieces of turf and keep them together.

8. SAND (OPTIONAL) After your turf is laid down, seamed, cut and edged, it is time for sand. About 2.5 lbs per sq. ft. is recommended. The sand application provides the ballast and weight to anchor the turf, hides seams and helps the blades stand up. Use dry finely graded sand such as mason sand. Work the sand down into the turf with a stiff bristle shop or carpet broom.

9. RUBBER (OPTIONAL) Use 1/2 to 3 lbs rubber per sq. ft. High traffic areas will need more rubber than non- traffic areas. Rubber infill adds bounce and fall protection as well as keeping the turf blades standing up. The rubber infill will have a tendency to stick to the blades as you broom it in but will settle down as the static electricity generated by brooming discharges.
