Instructions / Assembly

you can use carpet glue or a urethane glue and landscape fabric to seam the turf. All supplies can
be found at a local home supply center.
DISCUSSION: This step is not as hard of a task as you might expect. Because synthetic grass
has a relatively high blade height, seams are much less noticeable especially after infill is
installed and the turf is properly brushed. If this is your first install we suggest you try a few
seams with excess turf you have. When nailing, slant the nails at an angle so that the nails pull
the turf together. Remember: Always have the turf run the same direction. (This means the
blades of grass fall one direction, when seaming, make sure they point the same direction). Also
we find it is helpful to line up the loops from the backing so you are lined up in a vertical and
horizontal manner. When using seam tape or glue, using too much or too little are the main
problems. Work with a few sample seams until you have it down.
12. Apply an infill if your turf calls for it. After the seam glue has dried or the turf has been
nailed down, trim off your grass so your lawn fits exactly as you want. Then, using a standard
seed-drop spreader, apply the infill. The average infill amount is one to two pounds per square
foot. Infill helps weigh the turf down, helps keep fibers upright and prevents matting. Infill can
be silica sand or coated silica sand. Cost is around $8 for a 50-pound bag at your local home
supply center.
DISCUSSION: The bottom line is to apply the material you can afford. In light duty traffic,
silica sand is by far the best choice. In spreading the infill, make one entire pass on the on the
surface of your new lawn and then sweep the infill deeply into the fibers. Then repeat this
process until all of the infill has been spread and fallen in between blades. Some use masonry
sand, if will you have a lot of traffic on your turf, we do not recommend masonry sand as it can
cut fibers.
13. Edging. You may choose to install edging around your new lawn. Options are incredibly
varied and include extruded curbing, 4" x 4" timbers, natural stone, rock, metal edging and
plastic edging. If you are not going to apply an edging, we suggest you hammer regular
landscaping nails every 12-18 inches along the perimeter of your Synthetic lawn to prevent the
edges from lifting. Make sure your nails are 4 to 6 inches long.
14. Spray with water and brush. Using a hose, water down the turf and brush with a stiff broom
against the grain. A standard metal rake can also be used to get the turf to stand up by pushing
the rake, instead of pulling.
CONGRATULATIONS, YOU ARE DONE!
