Pet Pro Artificial Turf Rolls

Artificial Grass Roll Installation Instructions:

Outdoor Installation

1. Preparation:

   • Clear the Area: Remove all existing grass, sod, and mulch from the designated area. For installations around trees, shrubs, or other obstacles, mark these areas and plan the turf edge configuration. Leave adequate space around tree bases.
   • Sprinkler System: Cap any unused sprinklers at the pipe level to prevent leaks. Relocate sprinklers if necessary and mark their new positions. Ensure electrical sprinklers and wiring are moved inward by 6-8 inches from the edge to avoid damage during installation.
   • Subgrade Preparation: Place any moved items on the subgrade and secure with U-shaped nails.

2. Base Installation:

   • Material: Use decomposed granite (DG), a blend of gravel and sand that facilitates drainage. Spread DG to a depth of 3 inches for non-pet installations.
   • Compaction: Distribute and level the DG, wetting it to help settle. Compact the base using a vibrator, tamper, or roller until flat.

3. Turf Placement:

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

4. Final Steps:

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

Indoor Installation

1. Surface Preparation:

   • Ensure the installation 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 the fiber direction.

3. Adhesive Application:

   • Turf Pad: If using a pad, install it with double-sided tape or glue over the base.
   • 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 proper adhesion. Allow the installation to remain dry for 72 hours for the adhesive to fully cure.

Artificial Grass Maintenance:

• Outdoor Turf: Brush the turf regularly to remove debris and maintain its appearance. Clean spills promptly to prevent stains.
• Indoor Turf: Sweep or vacuum to remove loose dirt and dust. Spot clean with mild detergent as needed.
