Green Lawn Artificial Turf Rolls

Artificial Turf Installation Instructions:

Outdoor Installation

1. Site Preparation:

   • Clear the Area: Remove existing grass, sod, mulch, and debris. For areas around trees, shrubs, or utilities, mark these spots and leave space around tree bases.
   • Cap and Relocate Sprinklers: Cap any unused sprinklers at the pipe level to prevent leaks and relocate electrical sprinklers and wiring inward by 6-8 inches from hardscapes.
     
     

2. Base Installation:

   • Apply Decomposed Granite (DG): Spread a 3-inch layer of DG, a gravel and sand mixture, for proper drainage. Level and compact the base by vibrating, tamping, and rolling. Wet the base to assist in settling.
   • Turf Pad (Optional): If using a turf pad, cut a hole in the base to match the pad's size and depth.
     
     

3. Install Weed Cloth (If Needed):

   • Lay and Secure Weed Cloth: Overlap edges by 6 inches and secure with flat-head nails. Trim to fit the area with a 1/4” border gap, avoiding deep nail placement to prevent dimpling.
     
     

4. Turf Installation:

   • Align and Secure Turf: Use a straight edge or perpendicular edges for alignment. Temporarily secure edges with nails. Over-cut edges by one inch for a proper fit.
   • Seam the Turf: Cut the turf in an S-shape to avoid visible seams. Secure edges with nails every 6 inches, driving them 3/4 of the way down. Use 6-inch U-nails every 6 inches to secure seams, ensuring they are level and hidden by grass blades.
   • Tuck and Brush: Tuck turf edges against hardscapes with a wonder bar for a neat finish. Brush against the grain to lift fibers, apply infill or sand evenly, and brush again to integrate infill and remove excess debris.

Indoor Installation

1. Prepare the Surface:

   • Ensure Cleanliness: The surface must be level, clean, and dry. Suitable surfaces include concrete, dusting concrete, gypcrete, pressure-treated decking, wood, or backer board.
     
     

2. Dry Lay and Align:

   • Dry Lay: Unroll and align the turf according to the fiber direction details stamped on the backing.
     
     

3. Apply Adhesive:

   • Adhesive Application: Use double-sided tape or glue to secure the turf. If adding a turf pad, install it over the base with tape or glue.
   • Lay Turf and Seal: Position the turf and apply seam sealer to all seams. Roll the turf with a 75 lb. weighted roller across its width and length.
     
     

4. Curing:

   • Allow to Cure: Keep the installation dry for 72 hours to ensure proper adhesive curing.

Artificial Turf Maintenance:

1. Regular Cleaning:

   • Sweeping: Regularly sweep to remove loose dirt, dust, and debris.
     
     

2. Stains and Spills:

   • Cleaning Solution: Use warm water and mild detergent for stains. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals.
   • Pet Waste: Clean promptly with a vinegar and water mixture, rinse, and remove excess solution.
     
     

3. Gum Removal:

   • Chewing Gum: Use dry ice or refrigerant packets to harden and remove gum.
     
     

4. Matting:

   • Brush: Use a synthetic brush to lift matted grass fibers. Avoid metal or wire brushes.
