STEP 8: Installing The Synthetic Artificial Grass
Cut the synthetic artificial grass turf and sod ahead of time. The cut area on the fake synthetic grass turf & sod installation area is longer and wider than the prepared base.
Before installing artificial synthetic grass turf & sod, sweep the fibers of the artificial grass turf & sod against the direction they are lying in using a power broom. The spreading infill will be easier as a result of this.
When laying down pre-cut portions of fake synthetic grass turf & sod, ensure they all lay in the same direction.
Putting the artificial grass turf and sod pieces together. This is perhaps the most difficult phase in installing artificial synthetic grass turf and sod. Proper seaming of two pieces of synthetic fake grass turf & sod will demonstrate a professional installation when the job is done.
To accomplish so, patience and self-control are essential.
Check that the fibers of the artificial synthetic grass turf and sod pieces lie in the same direction before seaming them together.
Trim the sod and synthetic grass turf to fit the installation location. The fake grass turf and sod should be able to fit snugly against the boundary. Trim the installed fake synthetic grass turf and sod with care.
After trimming the perimeter of the fake synthetic grass turf & sod that has been laid, start securing the artificial synthetic grass turf & sod to the foundation. Every 2ft, 1″ away from the border, insert square head sod staples or nails (6″ long) throughout the fake synthetic grass turf & sod perimeter. When inserting the sod staples, spread the fake synthetic grass turf & sod fibers apart and do not staple down any artificial synthetic grass turf & sod fibers. Also, do not push the staples too deep into the artificial synthetic grass turf & sod; this may leave indentations.
