Artificial TURF GRASS PROJECT DETAILS
Artificial Turf Installation Process Overview
The process of installing artificial grass or turf involves several key steps to ensure a successful and long-lasting result. Here, we explain the general overview of the typical process.
Site Assessment and Preparation:
Kevin and team will visit your property to assess the area and discuss your specific requirements and preferences.
The team will measure the site and take note of any existing landscaping features, slopes, drainage issues, or potential obstacles that may need to be addressed.
Samples of several products will be left with you to contemplate options.
Excavation and Site Clearing:
If necessary, the existing natural grass, vegetation, and debris will be removed from the area to prepare the site for the installation.
The team may also perform grading and leveling to create a smooth and even surface for the artificial turf.
Base Installation:
A sturdy and stable base is essential for the longevity and performance of the artificial turf. The team will typically install a base made of crushed rock or a combination of crushed rock and a stabilizing material sand.
The base is compacted to create a solid foundation for the turf.
Edging and Containment:
Edging materials, such as bender boards or concrete borders, are installed around the perimeter of the turf area to contain the artificial grass and prevent it from shifting.
Laying the Artificial Grass:
The artificial grass rolls or pieces are laid out on the prepared base. Care is taken to align the seams and ensure the turf's direction follows the desired pattern.
If the artificial grass requires trimming to fit the area correctly, the team will do so at this stage.
Seaming and Securing:
If the area is larger than the width of the artificial grass rolls, the pieces are seamed together using special adhesives and joining tapes to create a seamless appearance.
The edges of the turf are securely fastened to the edging using nails or staples to keep the grass in place.
Infill Application:
Infill material is spread over the artificial grass to stabilize the fibers, enhance the turf's resilience, and provide proper drainage.
Depending on the type of artificial grass, infill can be made of silica sand, rubber green sand, or a combination of both.
Brushing and Grooming:
Once the infill is evenly distributed, the artificial grass is brushed and groomed to ensure the fibers stand upright and give the turf a natural and well-maintained look.
Final Inspection:
The installation team will conduct a final inspection to ensure everything meets the required standards and that you are satisfied with the finished result.
With the proper installation process completed, you can now enjoy the benefits of a beautiful, low-maintenance, and long-lasting artificial grass or turf area in your residential or commercial property.
