How to Install Artificial Grass: Rolling Out and Securing the Turf

Introduction

With the base layer complete, you’re ready for the exciting part – installing the artificial turf! This step requires precision and attention to detail to ensure a seamless and durable installation. This guide will walk you through the process of rolling out, securing, and finishing your artificial grass, transforming your outdoor space into a lush and vibrant oasis.

Rolling Out the Turf: Unveiling Your New Lawn

Unrolling the Turf: Begin by unrolling the artificial turf along the longest edge of the area, ensuring the pile direction is consistent throughout.
Trimming the Edges: Use a sharp utility knife to trim the excess turf around the edges, leaving a 1-2 inch overlap where the turf meets walls or obstacles.

Securing the Turf: Creating a Stable Foundation

Stapling and Securing: Use galvanized landscape staples or nails to secure the turf, spacing them approximately 6-8 inches apart along the edges and every 12-18 inches in the field. Drive the staples through the backing of the turf and into the base material.
Securing Overlaps: For areas where the turf meets walls or obstacles, use a combination of staples and adhesive. Apply a thin bead of adhesive to the overlap and press the turf firmly into place.

Seaming the Turf: Creating a Seamless Finish

Using Seam Tape: If multiple pieces of turf are required, they must be seamed together. Use seam tape specifically designed for artificial grass. Place the seam tape between the edges of the turf, overlapping them by 2-3 inches.
Securing the Seam: Apply adhesive to the seam tape and press the turf together firmly. Use a seam roller or heavy object to apply pressure along the seam, creating a strong and durable bond.
