Artificial Grass Installation

Yes, artificial grass can be installed on various surfaces, including soil, concrete, decking, and even rooftops. However, each surface requires specific preparation to ensure a smooth and durable installation. For soil installations, the area needs to be excavated, and a base of crushed stone or sand should be laid down to ensure proper drainage and a stable foundation. On hard surfaces like concrete or decking, a shock-absorbing layer may be added for comfort and to allow water to drain properly. Proper surface preparation is crucial for preventing issues like unevenness, poor drainage, or premature wear, ensuring a long-lasting and beautiful installation.

Certainly! You can place turf on top of landscape fabric. In fact its highly recommended to use good quality landscape fabric underneath your grass for a few reasons;

1. Weed Prevention; The fabric acts as a barrier, against weeds keeping them from growing through the grass and maintaining an appearance.

2. Drainage; It allows water to flow through easily ensuring drainage and preventing water accumulation or pooling on the surface.

3. Soil Stabilization; The fabric helps stabilize the soil creating an level base for installing the artificial grass.

4. Pest Control; The barrier can also discourage pests and insects from making their home in the soil under the grass.

When laying grass over landscape fabric make sure to prepare the ground by leveling and compacting it before placing the fabric. This will create an sturdy base, for your grass guaranteeing a high quality and durable installation.

Yes, you can glue Global Syn-Turf to outdoor concrete front stairs. Here's what you need to know about installation and appearance:

1. Backing Visibility: The backing of the turf is designed to be flexible, but when bending it over sharp edges like stair steps, there might be a slight visibility of the backing if not properly secured. To minimize this, ensure that the turf is tightly glued and securely wrapped around the edges of the stairs. Using a strong adhesive and taking care to press the turf firmly into place can help achieve a seamless look.

2. Ruggedness: Global Syn-Turf is designed to be durable and can withstand outdoor conditions, including heavy foot traffic on stairs. It is made from high-quality materials that are resistant to wear and tear, making it suitable for use on stairs. The turf’s fibers are engineered to be strong and resilient, providing a long-lasting and rugged surface.

For the best results:

- Use a high-quality outdoor adhesive*: Make sure it is suitable for use with synthetic turf and can withstand various weather conditions.

- Secure the edges: Pay extra attention to the edges and corners, ensuring they are well-adhered to prevent any lifting or visibility of the backing.

- Trim carefully: Cut the turf precisely to fit the dimensions of your stairs, ensuring a clean and professional finish.

By following these guidelines, you can achieve a durable and aesthetically pleasing installation of Global Syn-Turf on your outdoor concrete front stairs. If you have any specific questions, please give us a call @877-796-8873!

To prepare your yard for Global SynTurf artificial turf installation, start by clearing the area of any grass, stones, and debris. Level the ground and ensure it has proper drainage. Compact the soil to create a stable base, and if needed, add a layer of crushed rock for additional drainage and stability. This prep work ensures a smooth installation and optimal turf performance.

For the best results and longevity of your Global SynTurf artificial grass, ground preparation is crucial. The essential steps include:

Remove Existing Lawn: Dig up any existing grass or vegetation to a depth of about 3-4 inches.

Ensure Proper Drainage: Grade the area slightly to facilitate water runoff. Installing a drainage system may be necessary for areas with poor drainage.

Compact the Base: Lay down a crushed rock base, typically 3/4" minus crushed stone, and compact it to create a solid, level surface.

Install a Weed Barrier: Roll out a weed barrier fabric over the compacted base to prevent weed growth while allowing for proper drainage.

Lay the Turf: Roll out the Global SynTurf artificial grass over the prepared base. Cut to fit the area and secure the edges.

Infill Application: Spread the recommended type of infill evenly over the turf and brush it into the fibers to help the grass blades stand up and to add weight to the turf.

Following these steps will help ensure your Global SynTurf installation is successful and durable.
