Stimp Reading: As with all artificial grass turf, or real grass, the stimp reading will vary with installation. The range will be between 9 to 11. You can speed it up by adding more putting green infill and rolling with a water roller. Depending upon the desired speed, you may also want to slow down the surface by using a power broom to "open up the fibers".
Installation of our artficicial putting green turf is very easy and typically done by our customers. Below are instructions for both outdoor and indoor installation of our rolled flooring.
Synthetic Lawn Outdoor Installation
First you will want to remove all grasses, sods, mulches, etc. from the marked areas. Note: If you are landscaping around trees shrubbery, flowers, light poles, utilities, etc., remember to mark around those areas and account for the turf edge configuration. Remember to leave ample area uncovered around the bases of trees.
Next cap any sprinklers that will not be used. Cap the sprinklers at the pipe level to avoid any leakage that might occur. Relocate sprinklers if necessary. Make sure to mark the location of the un-used sprinklers. Move electrical sprinklers and wiring inward and away from any hardscape or perimeter from six-to-eight inches to avoid accidental damage when nailing turf edges. Once the wiring and other materials are moved, lay the items on top of the subgrade surfacing and secure them with U-shaped nails.
Install the base with a decomposed granite which is a special mixture of gravel and sand. This material allows the liquids from the turf to properly drain. For non-pet landscape installations, install DG three inches in depth. Properly distribute and level the base material.
Wet the existing base to allow the material to settle properly. Compact the base by vibrating, tamping and rolling the gravel until you have a completely flat surface. Once this solid base is established, the turf can be easily nailed to the base.
If using a turf pad, you will want to cut a hole in the base the size and depth of the pad that is being used.
Roll out weed cloth if applicable. This fabric prevents any additional plants and weeds from growing through the base of the synthetic grass. Overlap the weed cloth edges by six inches and secure it with as many flat-head nails as necessary. This helps to prevent movement of the cloth. Trim the cloth to fit the landscape area leaving a 1/4” gap along the border. Note: Do not drive nails too deeply as this will cause dimpling.
Before laying the turf down, be sure to find either a straight edge or two perpendicular edges for alignment. Square the turf to fit the area to minimize cutting and fitting on all four sides. Once the turf is square, secure the square edges with temporary nails to hold it in place while securing the opposite edges.
When fitting the turf, over- cut the turf by one inch along the edges for a proper fit. The excess turf will be necessary for the tucking process. When seaming turf edges together, use a seaming tool. Cut the turf in an S-shape to avoid the turf possibly pushing against each other's angles, which can create discoloration illusion in the seamed area. Install nails every six inches along the edge and drive them down three-quarters of the way. When finished, separate the grass to avoid pulling the blades down with the nail. The nail will be hidden with the grass blade at the base of the mat. Don't drive the nails down too deeply as it will pull the turf down and create dimples. Be sure to secure seams with six-inch U-nails every six inches. Make sure the U-nail is driven to the same level of the mat and hidden with the grass blades.
Note: When seaming the turf over a turf pad, you will want to use our turf seam tape or our turf seam tape & adhesive pack which features turf seam tape and a gallon adhesive bucket.
Tucking the turf means you will be hiding the turf edges against any hardscape or border by using a metal bar call a wonder bar. This will give your installation a clean plush look.
Use a power brush or heavy bristled brush to pull against the grain of the grass to make it stand up. Apply your infill or sand and spread the granules evening throughout the entire turf installation. The infill will hold the blades upright and give the turf more weight.
Brush up your turf once again with a power brush or bristled brush to force your infill into the base of the turf. This will allow the turf to settle and create optimal stability for your synthetic grass. Follow up the process to also remove excess debris.
Glue Down Indoor Installation
First you will want to make sure that your surface is level, clean and dry. Our turf flooring can be installed on concrete, dusting, powdering concrete, gypcrete , pressure treated decking, wood, or backer board.
Next you will want to dry lay your turf to implement roll sequencing to minimize normal variations. Manufacturing details will be back stamped on one side of the backing; this will assist in determining fiber direction.
If adding a turf pad, you would install this over the base with either double-sided tape or glue.
Apply adhesive or double-sided tape and then lay the turf.
Apply a bead of seam sealer to all seams.
Roll the product with a 75 lb. Weighted roller across the width and length of the product surface.
Once completed, the installation much remain in dry conditions for 72 hrs. in order for the adhesive to cure properly.
Care and Maintenance Instructions for Artificial Putting Green Turf:
Routine Care
Regular Cleaning:
Sweep the turf regularly to remove loose dirt, dust, leaves, and debris. Use a stiff-bristle broom or a power brush for the best results.
For outdoor installations, occasionally rinse the turf with water to wash away dirt and maintain a fresh appearance.
Stain Removal:
For minor spills or stains, blot the area with a clean cloth and rinse with water. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they can damage the turf fibers.
For more stubborn stains, a mixture of water and mild detergent can be used. Gently scrub the area with a soft brush, then rinse thoroughly with water.
Preventing Matting:
Regularly brush the turf fibers against the grain to keep them upright and prevent matting, especially in high-traffic areas.
If the turf fibers become flattened over time, use a power brush or a heavy-bristle brush to lift them back into place.
Infill Maintenance:
Check the infill level periodically. If it appears low, add more infill to maintain the turf's appearance and performance.
Spread the infill evenly across the turf surface and brush it in to ensure it settles properly at the base of the turf.
Weed Control:
For outdoor installations, inspect the turf regularly for any signs of weed growth, especially along the edges. Remove any weeds that may appear.
Seasonal Care
Winter Care:
In colder climates, the turf is frost-resistant and can withstand snow. However, avoid using metal shovels or ice-melting chemicals that could damage the turf.
Allow the snow to melt naturally or use a plastic shovel to remove snow gently.
Heat Management:
While the turf is heat-resistant, on extremely hot days, you may want to lightly spray the surface with water to cool it down, especially in high-traffic areas.
UV Protection:
The turf is UV stable, but prolonged exposure to intense sunlight can still cause slight fading over many years. Consider installing shade structures or awnings to reduce direct sun exposure if possible.
Long-Term Care
Inspect Seams and Edges:
Periodically inspect the seams and edges of the turf for any signs of lifting or separation. Reapply adhesive or secure with nails if necessary.
Turf Repair:
In the unlikely event that your turf sustains damage, small repairs can be made by patching with a matching piece of turf and securing with adhesive or seam tape.
Professional Maintenance:
For extensive installations or high-traffic areas, consider scheduling a professional turf maintenance service once a year to ensure the turf remains in optimal condition.
By following these care and maintenance guidelines, your Putting Green Turf will remain in excellent condition, providing a beautiful and functional surface for years to come.
