1. Roll turf over installation area as dragging it can damage compacted surface. If possible lay turf out in the sun for awhile before install. This makes the turf easier to work with and reduces wrinkles.
2. When the turf is in it’s place begin cutting edges about an inch “fat” so you can tuck in the edges against the bender board.
3. If you have seams lay the two pieces in place and seam them together using seam tape and glue. Once glued together use turf staples to “stitch” the seam every 6-8 in.
4. Nail down perimeter every 6-8 in. with turf nails. Keep turf blades away from the nail heads so they can sink down and “disappear” into the turf. Be careful not to hammer nails in to deep or it cause a low spot or “dimple” in the surface.
5. After the turf is secure use a power broom to stand the bristles up. Spread infill over the surface of the turf and go over with the power broom again. Using a drop spreader makes this process much easier and spreads the infill evenly. This will allow the infill to settle and keep the bristles in an upright position. There are different infills that can be used including products that are made to neutralize pet odors.
6. Enjoy your new turf for years to come!
