ARTIFICAL TURF GRASS INSTALLATION PROCESS
PRE-INSTALLATION
Pre-installation begins with demolition which involves the removal of any existing 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.
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.
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.
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 proper seaming tool. Cutting the turf with the special turf knives avoids the possibility of the turf pieces pushing against each other’s angles, which in many cases would create the illusion of discoloration in the area of the seam. Install nails every six inches along the edge. Install nails along the edge by placing them six inches apart driving them down ¾ of the way. Nails used in the field should be applied as necessary to prevent movement of turf. As before, drive the nails down ¾ of the way.
When finishing the nails, separate the grass to avoid pulling down the blades with the nail. The nail is then hidden with the grass blade at the base with the mat. Don’t drive the nails too deeply in the ground as it will cause the turf to be pulled down creating dimples on the surface. Secure seams with U-nails every six inches. During the seaming process, six-inch u-nails are used to join the turf together. The two seams are butted up against each other with u-nails spaced six inches apart. The finishing process with the u-nails is the same as before. Separate the grass to avoid the blades being pulled down with the u-nail. The u-nail is then driven to the same level as the mat and then hidden with the grass blades.
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.When seaming, it is recommended to use the proper seaming tool.

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 filling sand. Next apply the Silica Sand Infill or Envirofill. Envirofill is anti-bacterial and not harmful for pets or children. Spread the granules evenly throughout the turf installation. This acts as a balance to hold the blades upright and gives the turf more weight.When finishing the nails, separate the grass to avoid pulling down the blades with the nail.

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.
