Do It Yourself
ARTIFICIAL GRASS INSTALLATION
- A great water and money saving investment. Easy to install and maintain.
- Following below instructions can help you create a beautiful, eco-friendly landscapes that look great and save money for years to come.
- Prepare the base
- Most outdoor applications require preparation of an aggregate base to allow proper water drainage. Simply clear the surface where your Decoturf Grass will be placed, removing any unwanted grass and roots.
- Once clear, add a four to six-inch layer of crushed aggregate until achieving the desired shape and contour. Work the aggregate with a rake and hand tamp until the surface is compact and smooth.
- Trim to Size
- With the base ready, position your Decoturf Grass and trim to shape. If using more than one roll, make sure the “grain” of the grass fibers point in the same direction.
- Glue together seams
- To seam the Decoturf Grass, align two pieces of Decoturf edge-to-edge. Fold back the edges to lay Decoturf seaming tape the length of the seam.
- Secure in place
- Secure seaming cloth in place. Apply Polyurethane Adhesive on the seaming tape, spreading to a consistent thickness. After a few minutes, slowly ease the two edges back together, check the fit as you go.
- Groom your grass
- Use a landscape rake or broom to brush the fibers up and rinse with a garden hose. Periodic brushing and rinsing will keep your Decoturf Grass looking fresh, natural for years to come.
