Artificial Turf Installation | A DIY How To Guide 

A good video and well discussed procedure. A lot better than most I've seen.

great job for a first time DIY artificial grass installation. Im trying to install one too. thanks for sharing your experience.

Awesome video, thanks bro. My kids have a nice yard now!

Super thumbs up. Great job. Thanks for the video

When through the exact same scenario! Looks great good job!

This is the best video ever, my wife and I just bought a home and want to save a few thousand you really broke this down…..off to Menards and Home Depot I go!

I was just going to say that you should have used Aggregate (decomposed granite) fill. The decomposed granite with a sand mix is by far the best base for artificial turf as well as pavers. Evenly spread out the granite and tamp it down really good. Then spread a light level of sand on top and tamp again. You want the top level of the base to be as smooth as possible making sure that there are no rocks or debris on the tamped surface. If using landscape rock it will have little voids and gaps in-between the individual rock even after tamping.

Great video very informative. Hope you don't mind if I share it with our online shoppers.

Beautiful..

Yes use DG atleast 3” not only for compact but gives a better cushion on grass.

Have you done indoor lawn installation? I'm thinking of converting a small warehouse to artificial grass surface and am curious about the base layer.

I live in a town home and have a concrete alleyway I would like to cover with artificial turf. QUESTION: Can I apply this directly over top of the concrete or do I need to break up the concrete, remove and lay down a aggregate base surface? My concern / next question is regarding mold and build up. If I do lay it over top of the concrete, will I have an issue with mold developing underneath the grass or pooling water? Right now, the water does NOT pool in the alleyway on the concrete but I want to make sure adding a turf layer does not create an unseen mold issue.

The F bomb got me… I did learn something… I’m paying someone to do it for me 😂😂😂

Thanks for the video. I was thinking crushed gravel as the base under the turf.

Great Job. My crew missed adding glue for seams. Any thoughts or alternatives?.

Nice job, it looks great. Im thinking to do this myself but i dont know the dimensions of the turf. what are the dimensions of the roll?

I love my SYNLawn!

Thanks

Great educational videos. Any tips for drainage? For artificial grass specifically, would the drain opening be flush to the grass (exposed) or below it in the base rock ( concealed)? Is it a problem to have stragnant water in the base rocks for days. My soil isnt very permeable. Thanks much

Great video, I was planning on tackling my 50sqm area, but after seeing this.... I think I'll rather just hire a professional. LOL

This is why you call a professional

Around the hard edges, how high is the sub base level compared to the edge itself?

What kind did you use?

How did u maintain in rainy season??

What about placing this on a hill. We have a very sloped yard and cannot grow anything there. We are considering this.

Aside from the wait what is the purpose of the smart fill?

is Decomposed granite the same thing as Stone dust or would it be similar to a 7mm clear chip?

I love it, but how much did it cost?

What ground plate contractor is that?

I inherited a property with a small sloped garden with artificial grass. The grass is sloped and at the bottom stops against a sleeper along with the rainwater. How can I diy this plz buddy ?

Rain time what can do

my yard already has soft sand on, can I just buy thick turf and put it on top and nail it?

I think it’s nicer when some natural bumps and dips are added

Love My SYNLawn!!!!! #SYNAUGUSTINE

I am not getting Turf infill sand. From India.

I am an horticulturist based in Nigeria, Africa. I deal with natural grass and flowers and I love the artificial turf and will like to learn it as additional knowledge. It would be highly appreciated if you can you help me out.

Does anyone have issues with dogs still pooping on these lawns ? How do they price it ? Square footage of the yard ?

The last 2" of your base should be 3/8 inch clean

After the compacted base I would have screeded the area with 1" of #8 stone

I have artificial grass on my front lawn and back and it stays green and perfect no mowing or watering My dog runs around on it no dead grass from pee no dead spots.

How to clean up dog pee or poop on synthetic lawn? Just pick it up and hose it down?

Where’s the sand and membrane??

you forgot the weed barrier

Just use a string line to level it out much easier and faster

So how is it with dogs toileting on it as far as urine?

How can you avoid static electricity in turf

go bills

You are right, this is not a one man job.

Yikes. Cleaning leaves and other tree debris would be a nightmare

to many wrinkles

Qué mal hechura...todo mal...error tras error...seguro salió tablas...no profit for sure

End all artificial grass. Anyone who uses it is just terrible lazy garbage human
