My wife and I just installed 2 rolls of artificial turf in our front yard. The installation was straightforward and only required a utility knife to cut through the backing. We used Trafficmaster 5" x 1.2" turf staples, which worked nicely. After installation, we infilled with silica sand and swept it in. Then, we spread a 25 lb. tub of green Trafficmaster Envirofill lightly on top of the sand. It did a great job of disguising the seams and staple holes, as well as covering the tan color of the sand. Note: In the photo, I haven't yet finished the edge of the turf where it meets our dry creek bed.
