We like to share installation techniques from time to time. This time around, we’ll share some suggestions regarding proper staking techniques.
The recommended stakes for installation are 5.5" galvanized roofing nails. They should be galvanized to prevent rust. The head of the nail is approximately 1/4" in diameter.
On the front page of SYNLawn.com, there is a tab titled Installation Videos that illustrate some of the various steps suggested in the preparation, installation and maintenance of SYNLawn turf. Due to the numerous application possibilities SYNLawn offers, we simply don’t have time to list every possible SYNario. This would require elves and magic that we cannot conjure. From time to time, however, we’ll share some of the tips and techniques collected by our installers in the field.
This issue we’ll be sharing some notes for the installation of synthetic grass around trees.
First you want to make sure the irrigation lines are properly installed prior to installing base material. Mark the locations of the lines in order to avoid nailing through them. 
Versatiliy is one of the biggest reasons to choose SYNLawn brand synthetic grass for replacing natural grass and for new construction. It is so versatile, in fact, it is used here as part of an architectural driveway feature. The architect chose to use SYNLawn as an elaborate driveway to set off the Mediterranean style house in a desert setting. Obviously, using natural grass for this design would be simply out of the question. Natural grass would not hold up under the stress of an automobile driving over or parking on the driveway.
SYNLawn also gave the architect the freedom to get creative with the concrete design, allowing him to keep with the Mediterranean design style. Which was another reason SYNLawn was chosen for this application. Even if this feature wasn't a driveway, it would still be hard to maintain natural grass as a patio design. Natural grass would have presented a major maintenance problem in this setting. Keeping natural grass alive and healthy within the bounds of the concrete borders is a tough challenge, especially in the desert. And would most likely need re-sodding on a regular basis in order to maintain this look. The cost and time savings of continued maintenance and the water savings made this application a big success. Another unique application of SYNLawn.
The number one question we hear the most is, "can we use SYNLawn with our dog?" Or, "what happens when my dog ... you know ... has to go?" Our response, "not to worry, let him go." In fact, SYNLawn is ideal for dogs, cats, birds or just about any other pet even if they ... you know ... go on the lawn.
We highly recommend SYNLawn to pet owners. There are numerous advantages to using SYNLawn over natural sod for your pets. According to Fred Goldsmith, owner and operator of Pet Paradise an exclusive day care facility for pets, it pays for itself. For him, the advantages include easy clean up, reduced health risks associated with common kennel diseases, no muddy animals even after heavy rains and an average cost savings of approximately $1000 per month.
