Installation Instructions

Outdoor Installation

1. Preparation:

   • Site Cleanup: Remove all existing grasses, sods, mulches, and other materials from the installation area. If working around trees, shrubs, flowers, light poles, or utilities, mark these areas and account for turf edge configuration. Leave adequate space around tree bases.
   • Sprinkler System: Cap unused sprinklers at the pipe level to prevent leaks. Relocate sprinklers if needed and mark their positions. Move electrical sprinklers and wiring inward by 6-8 inches from hardscapes or perimeters to avoid damage during installation.
   • Subgrade Preparation: Lay moved items on the subgrade and secure with U-shaped nails.

2. Base Installation:

   • Material: Use decomposed granite (DG) for the base, a mix of gravel and sand that allows for proper drainage. Spread DG to a depth of 3 inches for non-pet landscapes.
   • Compaction: Evenly distribute and level the DG. Wet it to help it settle, then compact using a vibrator, tamper, or roller until flat and stable.

3. Turf Placement:

   • Weed Barrier: Roll out weed cloth if needed, overlapping edges by 6 inches. Secure with flat-head nails and trim to fit, leaving a 1/4” gap around the border. Avoid driving nails too deeply to prevent dimpling.
   • Turf Layout: Align the turf using a straight edge or perpendicular edges. Cut excess turf by 1 inch along the edges for a proper fit. Secure edges with temporary nails while fixing the opposite sides.
   • Seaming: Use a seaming tool to join edges. Cut turf in an S-shape to reduce seam visibility. Nail every 6 inches along the edge, driving nails 3/4 of the way down. Ensure nails are hidden by grass blades and secure seams with 6-inch U-nails spaced 6 inches apart.

4. Final Steps:

   • Tucking: Use a metal bar (wonder bar) to tuck turf edges against hardscapes for a seamless appearance. Brush against the grain with a power or bristled brush to lift blades. Apply infill or sand evenly across the turf to keep blades upright and add weight. Brush again to integrate infill into the base and remove excess debris.

Indoor Installation

1. Surface Preparation:

   • Ensure the surface is level, clean, and dry. Suitable surfaces include concrete, dusting or powdering concrete, gypcrete, pressure-treated decking, wood, or backer board.

2. Turf Layout:

   • Dry Lay: Position the turf rolls to manage roll sequencing and minimize variations. Check the backing for manufacturing details to determine fiber direction.

3. Adhesive Application:

   • Turf Pad: If using a pad, install it over the base with double-sided tape or glue.
   • Turf Installation: Apply adhesive or double-sided tape, then lay the turf. Seal seams with a bead of seam sealer.

4. Final Steps:

   • Roll the turf with a 75 lb. weighted roller across its width and length to ensure adhesion. Allow the installation to remain dry for 72 hours for adhesive curing.
