NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES

1. Plan Your Area

• Sketch your space and measure carefully.

• Remember: the turf has a direction—lay all pieces the same way so the fibers match.

• Add 1–2 feet to the length of each roll to allow for trimming.

• Standard roll width is 14'6", and you should account for about 20% waste.

2. Prepare the Base

• Clear the area of grass and roots. Remove at least 2.5” of the existing surface.

• A sod cutter (available at most rental shops) makes this easier.

• For extra weed protection, a vegetation killer can be used—but it’s optional.

3. Add a Subbase

• Spread 2”–4” of crushed rock or aggregate (depth depends on climate).

• Use a rake to level the base, then compact it with a sod roller or plate compactor.

• Wetting the area can help with compaction.

• As a guide: 1 ton (2,000 lbs) of material covers approx. 100 sq. ft. at 2" depth.

4. Prepare the Turf

• Lay the turf out in the sun (blade-side down) for 1–2 hours to help it relax.

• Trim off the excess material (manufacturing edge) from the backing before seaming.

• Cut from the back between the second and third stitch rows with a sharp knife—never from the top.

5. Lay the Turf

• Roll out each section on the base, leaving extra length for adjustments.

• Make sure all pieces face the same direction to match the grain.

• Trim the final shape once everything is positioned.

6. Cutting Around Obstacles

• For rocks or odd shapes, start cutting from the center outwards.

• Make small, careful cuts to let the turf sit flat against the ground.

• Work in smaller sections to keep control of the turf.

7. Seaming Turf Sections

• Align the fibers in the same direction before seaming.

• Make sure there’s no overlap—lay edges side-by-side.

• Apply seaming tape with glue between the two pieces, and press down firmly.

• Wipe off excess glue and nail along the seam every 4" (do not counter sink).

• Once glue is dry, remove nails, stretch the turf, and secure the edges.

8. Secure the Turf

• Use 3”–6” nails to secure the turf along the edges every 3"–4".

• Also add nails in a grid pattern (every 3 feet) within the interior.

• Use galvanized or steel nails—they’ll rust slightly, helping to lock in place.

• Add more nails in high-traffic or loose areas.

9. Add Sand Infill

• Use a drop spreader to apply silica sand evenly—about 2.5–3 lbs per sq. ft.

• Spread in a steady pattern, starting along the perimeter and working inward.

10. Final Grooming

• Brush the turf with a stiff broom or power broom against the grain.

• Look for low spots and add more sand if needed.

• Finish with one last brush-over for a clean, upright look.
