- Sub-base
- Remove sod if necessary.
- Grade must be at least 3 inches below the border (curbing, edging, patio, etc.).
- Install at least 2-4 inches of 1/4"" minus compaction aggregate (road base) bringing the grade up to 1 inch below the border.
- Level and disperse aggregate with landscape rake.
- Lightly soak the aggregate.
- Compact aggregate using a vibratory plate compactor. Aggregate may be added to low areas during this process.
Note: Aggregate will stick to the compactor if too wet. At least 80% compaction is ideal.
- Seams
- Precisely cut the edge against the tufted row.
- When seams are in position, place a nail approximately 18 inches from the seam to secure the turf.
- Fold back the turf and hold with a temporary weight.
- Lay 12-18 inch urethane cloth directly under the seam.
- Secure cloth with a nail at the end of the seams.
- Pour and spread adhesive on the cloth. (use scrap piece to spread adhesive) Remove the weight from the folds.
- Slowly and simultaneously lay both sides of the turf on the adhesive. Avoid overlapping the backing. In addition, make sure the fibers do not come in contact with the adhesive.
- Apply weight on the seams and allow 1hour to dry. When complete, seams may be reinforced with nails.
- Edges
- Overlap edges with turf.
- Secure the position of the turf with nails.
- As with seaming, fold back turf to the edge exposing the backside.
- Cut vertical relief cuts to create smaller sections to work with.
- On the backside, cut the excess turf precisely to the edge. Turf should be cut within 1/8 inch from the edge.
- Infill
- Infill not required for all applications.
- Before applying, broom up the fibers of the turf until fibers are standing up. The sand acts as a ballast(weight). A tubular (round) 20 grit sand is recommended.
- Evenly distribute a layer of sand by hand or a drop seed spreader (without a spreading wheel) throughout the lawn.
- After each layer has been distributed, the infill must be broomed into the base (backing) of the turf fibers.
Note: A quarter inch layer of infill is recommended. Approximately 1-1.5 pounds of infill per square foot.
