Installation Instructions

Outdoor Installation

1. Surface Preparation:

• Remove Existing Material: Clear all grasses, sods, mulches, and other materials from the installation area. If landscaping around obstacles, mark and account for turf edge configurations, leaving space around tree bases.
• Cap Sprinklers: Cap any unused sprinklers at the pipe level to prevent leaks. Relocate and mark the location of unused sprinklers. Move electrical sprinklers and wiring inward by 6-8 inches to avoid damage during installation.

2. Base Construction:

• Install Base: Use decomposed granite (DG) for drainage. Spread DG to a depth of 3 inches, level, and compact by vibrating, tamping, and rolling until flat. Allow it to settle properly.
• Optional Turf Pad: If using a turf pad, cut a hole in the base to match the pad’s size and depth.
• Roll Out Weed Cloth: To prevent weeds, lay weed cloth over the base, overlapping edges by 6 inches and securing with flat-head nails. Trim to fit with a 1/4” border. Avoid driving nails too deeply.

3. Lay Turf:

• Align Turf: Use straight or perpendicular edges for alignment. Square the turf to minimize cutting and fitting. Secure edges with temporary nails.
• Cut and Fit: Over-cut the turf by one inch along edges. This excess will be used for tucking.
• Seam Turf: Use a seaming tool to cut turf in an S-shape to avoid discoloration. Install nails every 6 inches along the edge, driving them 3/4 of the way. Use U-nails every 6 inches for seams, ensuring they are level and hidden.
• Tuck and Brush: Tuck edges with a wonder bar for a clean look. Brush against the grain to lift fibers. Apply and spread infill or sand evenly. Brush again to settle the infill and stabilize the turf. Remove excess debris.

Indoor Installation

1. Surface Preparation:

• Clean and Level: Ensure the surface is level, clean, and dry. Suitable surfaces include concrete, dusting, powdering concrete, gypcrete, pressure-treated decking, wood, or backer board.
• Dry Lay: Unroll the turf to check fit and alignment. Manufacturing details stamped on the backing will guide fiber direction.

2. Adhesive Application:

• Apply Adhesive: Use adhesive or double-sided tape on the surface. If adding a turf pad, install it over the base with tape or glue.
• Lay the Turf: Position the turf and apply a bead of seam sealer to all seams.
• Roll: Use a 75 lb. weighted roller to press down the turf across its width and length.
• Cure: Allow the installation to remain in dry conditions for 72 hours for proper adhesive curing.

Maintenance

1. General Cleaning:

• Sweeping: Periodically sweep loose dirt, dust, and debris from the turf surface.

2. Stains and Blemishes:

• Clean: Use a warm water solution with household detergent. Avoid bleach.

3. Animal Urine:

• Clean: Use a mixture of white distilled vinegar and water. Flush thoroughly and vacuum any excess solution.

4. Chewing Gum:

• Remove: Use dry ice or refrigerant packets to freeze and remove gum.

5. Matted Turf:

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