You might depending on the scale of your project: if your artificial turf coverage area is small which doesn't require any tricky layout design and no seams, you should be able to do it yourself, and all you need is the turf and turf glues: you will need to start from one end and gradually working toward the other end when it comes to applying glues, do NOT try to put the glue down for the entire area then laying down the turf.
If your turf area is big and require complicated design and seams, I will suggest you to have installation professionals to do the job for you.
 | Rich Lienke I prefer to ask the expert's help too so the outcome will be great. |
 | Isabella Jones Putting the glues will definitely need pros to do, once it get mess up, there won't be coming back, the turf can be ruined I assume. |
| Donna Collins I think it is not a good idea to do a large area on any type of surfaces, the installation might look easy. |
 | Fred Stone As a turf manufacturer, we always recommend installations to be done by professionals. |
| Chris Davis I did a little piece on my beat-up wood deck, easy. |
| Joe Wilson I saw people to use nails along the edges instead of gluing down. |
| Tom Stewart The installer has to take out some dirt, and put some base materials before laying the turf for my project. |
 | Leslie Williams - Dandelion Fighter Clint, the area is approx. 16' x 40' and the smaller patio is 16' x 16'. Do you sell turf in rolls? How big are they? How many would I need? |
| Leslie Williams - Dandelion Fighter Mason, I have a piece of turf from Home Depot. It's thin. Every time there is a wind, this thing flies all-around my patio. If not for a fence, I would be hunting for it in my neighbor's yard. I'm not sure if the GST turf is heavy enough to withstand our East Coast's breezes. We have hurricanes from time to time. What if it blows to someone's roof or a car or a window? |
| Mason Teelaka I didn't use any glue, simply lay the piece loose on my patio floor. The fake grass is pretty heavy, not going anywhere. |
Well HOAs are different from one to another. Some of the HOAs have less strict rules. In California, most of the HOAs are ok with artificial grass installations in the backyard without much of information needed. When it comes to the front yard, some HOAs can be more serious about what kind of artificial grass you put in. You can always download all the necessary information for HOAs to review at this link: https://www.globalsynturf.com/artificial-grass-specifications-specs.
And keep mind that it is not legal for the HOAs to decide that you can't install artificial grass in your property! Governor Jerry Brown has signed a bill into law for water conservation in 2015: Assembly Bill 2104. Here is the news link for the bill: https://www.sdcwa.org/governor-signs-water-authority-bill-preventing-hoas-banning-artificial-turf.
| My HOA doesn't care anything we do in the backyard, only need to run by them for front yard though. |
| My HOA doesn't care about that and quite a few houses in my community with artificial grass. And they didn't even talk about it at the HOA meetings. |
 | As an installer, we sometimes have to help homeowners to provide information needed. |
| My HOA doesn't care about the fake grass, as long as drought tolerated landscaping. |
| We don't have HOA here. |
 | If you are close by, we don't mind to present at your HOA meeting on artificial grass concerns. |
| Good for California! You have a bill. I have a problem with HOA in North Carolina. Ideas , anyone? |
| I don't have any issues with my HOA for my front yard, and I live in San Diego, California. |
 | Great links! |
