How to install Artificial turf! Great for Pets and no Maintenance! 

I thought I could grab a roll from Home Depot and simply lay it out.... thanks for killing my dreams.....;-)

This has to be the best artificial install tutorial on RU-vid and I've looked at many. Awesome 👌

wow...i've always wondered how artificial turf is installed and once again, this vid is so detailed and enjoyed every aspect of it...thank you!

My wife and I had some professional installers out at our house to install K9 Turf. We have had it for almost four years and it is one of the best investments we have made in out home. We have two resident dogs and we also foster dogs for rescues and in training to be Assistance Dogs. We did our turf as a dog “potty”. A strip 8 feet wide by 30 feet long right off our garage that leads to our mud room. It is installed over what is essentially a paver base for drainage and stability. No more yellow spots in our lawn, the solids are easy to clean up and if you get the correct turf with backing meant for drainage the smell is far less than even natural grass due to better drainage. If you get the stuff from Menards of Home Depot that is NOT K9 Turf. It will smell WORSE than natural lawn as there are few of any drain holes. Our old house had that turf and it was stinky.

I find myself watching a lot of your videos for directions on new projects I'm working on. I appreciate your attention to detail and excellent explanation. Good Job...

12:20 what a beautiful looking yard, and no mowing!!!!👍🏻

I know this video is a year old, but I feel compelled to comment because I learned so much. I'm a homeowner who has never installed artificial turf, but I have a huge yard that is all grass, and I would love to replace it.

That seam cut by hand. Art

Nice job! No steps skipped , quality work. Love it.

Respect to your workers

I like the idea of keeping the sprinkler to cool it off because I live behind a high school sports field with artificial turf. Very large area and it radiates so much heat, we can feel it. When it was grass it was a lot cooler in my backyard. Good job.

Excellent concrete videos and now this! I’ve wondered about tackling something like this, but didn’t know the “art” of the project. It’s the small touches that make it look that good and knowing them is crucial. 👍🏻

Wow!! I'm super impressed! I love the way it looks. Cooling it and flushing it is definitely better than having to mow once a week and having a nasty dead looking yard..lol

What a GREAT Job narrator , You did such a great job !! You should be really proud of your work !!

A lot of work goes into this. Great install!

One of these days I'll give you a call. I need this in our backyard. Great job as always!

That 🐕 looks very excited to "try it out "

This reminds me of installing carpet in a house, kinda cool actually 😄

Damn these guys are good at their trade.

Amazing video. This was incredibly helpful! Well put together too thx!!

Man. You guys don't cut any corners. That is a LOT of Work! Nice job!

What’s a rough price for something this size? Time to complete it? Whats your crew size? Amazing concept. We need this in San Antonio

Looks nice .interesting on the seem never seen that very effective and a good idea.we put a 100 mm haunch of concrete to the perimeter trowel it and glue the turf down used nail but found the concrete and glue better .great video looks lush 🤣👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇺🇸🙂

The simple green product works great. Aloha Huntington Beach.

well done and a quality product

❤❤❤❤ Wow! Amazing work!!!

That looks rather impressive! Nicely done…

I got a estimate for this is my small back yard that it was crazy expensive. It's stupid crazy that the things that save the planet and it resources are the most expensive to implement. I just moved from Calif to Texas and it seems that all services are more expensive here.

The difference is amazing

Great video guys, I learned a lot that will help me with my DIY winter prep project.

Excelente! I liked Short and and sweat Thanks for sharing your knowledge Blessings

Absolutely awesome! Great job guys.

Great video, I wish I saw that sprinkler line fix a few years ago.. I've done dozens the wrong way........

It's not sad or unhuman.....for some people like me, my allergies are so bad I have a hard time breathing at night that I can't even cut my own grass in spring to early summer. This looks like a better alternative to concrete. Moreover, I can't believe how well that guy cut the seem.

dog full of energy

Awesome Job

My backyard is about that size what's the cost for that if you don't mind me asking

Super nice results

Love the neighbor dog. Love the Selena song

Infield that’s what it’s called I always wondered when watching football games on field with artificial turf when they toe drag or tackle when you see that Black Sandy dirt fly up now I know good vid

0:45 Something about watching him scoot across the yard is so stupidly funny to me.

Great job! Too bad you guys aren’t in Florida.

Wow excellent work.i like to learn about this

Wow so beautiful job. From Fiji lsland Labasa. Thank you for your video

Impressive work!!

stapling or nailing, which is better. what is your thoughts?

Great job guys.👍🏾👍🏾

I heard there was a shortage on artificial dogs for the artificial lawn. Since it is an artificial lawn, can you pay with artificial money? A friend wants to know.

How do I calculate how much base gravel I need if I know my square footage and inches I want in depth.

What’s your formula for base materials?

I need this now!! How much and how long does it last? Can I do it myself? Where can you buy the material?

I was always told to not use that weed blocker as the pet urine will just sit in the weed blocker & cause it to stink & to not filter properly.

Easy DIY

Great job

How much does something like the cost to install?

How much does a project like this cost ? and how many days does it take ?

Where did you purchase the turf, what quality is it, how long can you expect it to look nice?

Excellent...

What happened to gluing the joins?

Great job 😊😊👍👍👍👍👍👍

Thanks for the video, great info!

Good video. Thank you.

Awesome 👌 you just gave me an idea 💡

Beautiful work!

No drainage? I always install a 4” hdpe perforated perimeter drain. I’ll put an 140N geo- textile non-woven fabric in the trenches and across the area in between. Install a 1”x12” flat pipe to move the water to the 4” hdpe. Back fill everything with 3/4 clean stone and use 3/8 stone or finishing stone to fill in the gaps in the 3/4 clean. I’ll leave an 1.5” of reveal for turf thickness. I also always recommend a 6”x12” concrete curb with a 2” concrete notch in the curb(4” of curb exposed). It keeps the sand in from heavy rains and everything drains fast.

Wish you could show the homeowners reactions in some of the videos

Thanks!

How much does it cost roughly for a yard like that?

Nice job 👏

Nice job

It looks good but, Silica sand and weed block traps the urine smells. Pet installations require great drainage and the right infill materials such as zeolite and envirofill. Many pet installations fail due to lack of information. Pet installations require more maintenance than a regular installation to keep it clean and odor free.

Good quality work!! Hey man would you service the Riverside area too??

5:43 I swear for a sec I thought u had stuck the dog with the pin..lol he whined right as soon as u did that ..lol

Very similar to installing regular carpet in the house... Except its outside...

No drainage pad under the turf?

Is there any rule for nails.. 1000 sq ft lawn?

What would you charge for this kind of job?

I have a gopher problem, what do you recommend I have the contractor add to the installation of my artificial turf?

What plate compactor did you use ? Any best options for plate compactors ?

Whats the ballpark figure on how much a job like this would cost?

I need this and I’m in the OC !

How much is installation on concrete 1000 sq ft pool deck

May I ask where you get your base material from? I’m near your area

What fabric did you put down

Good video

they have a seam joining glue tape in nz. the pin idea looks good though 😊

Poor dog behind the fence thinking "so the grass IS greener on the other side"

Not a fan of artificial grass but that's a first class install 👏

I need that for my back yard. Mine looks like crap.

Looks great! How long will it last?

The poor dog wanted to help so bad and meet everybody to tell them they were doing a great job. Is that how astroturf is installed in sports fields?

nails into soil? are you sure this is right?

Nice. 👍

The central joint should have been glued using an adhesive strip and glue

All I could see was that train going through their backyard every 30min 😅

I’m not sure if anybody could help me but I am trying to install synthetic grass on the sidewalk side by the street I have an area 41 feet by about 4 feet I dug out about 8 inches because I needed the dirt for a big flower box I am trying to get a definitive answer as far as the fill I should use someone told me something called RCA ? I live in ny

Nice

Another video said weed prevention fabric retains pet urine odor. Is that true?

What turf did you use?

Looks awesome. How much does a project like this cost?
