Professional Artificial Turf
Grass Installation
What Can You Expect From Your Artificial Grass Installation?
The foundation of any professional install is a plan. Once you request a quote through the Home Depot, an Ace Turf representative will contact you within 48 hours to setup a consultation. At the consultation we will show you all the product options available and talk through which products will be right for your unique needs. We will take the measurements of the area and determine the most efficient way to complete your project. With this information we will provide you with an accurate quote for your project.
Some of the Benefits of Installing Artificial Grass:
The Installation Process
Building the Foundation
Step One:
Existing surface of project area (grass, soil or rocks) is stripped away to a 4-6 inch depth. This material is then taken to a soil recycler.
Step Two:
Edging material is used to define the grass area and to keep any bed/garden soil from migrating into the crush gravel base over time. This edging material is not required against concrete/paver edges or edges defined by any type of wood.
Step Three:
Crush gravel is then used to fi ll the area at a 4-6 inch depth. The gravel is raked and leveled and then compacted. This gives a hard, smooth, stable surface for the artificial grass to be installed on top of. The gravel base still allows water to pass through it, allowing rain water to permeate the ground and get to trees and plants as needed.
Surfacing the Project
Step One:
The artificial grass is brought on site in the predetermined pieces from the consultation. These pieces are laid out, cut and seamed together to cover the defined grass area. Seaming is done with a one foot wide seam tape and a bio-friendly specialty adhesive which is safe for humans and animals.
Step Two:
After the grass is cut and in place it is nailed with four inch spiral nails to pin it to the base. Nails are placed every 6 inches around the perimeter of the grass and also placed in a grid pattern of about 12 inches by 12 inches throughout the centre.
Step Three:
The last step is to infill the artificial grass. Infilling refers to the practice of spreading either zeolite or silica sand evenly over the surface of the artificial grass and then working it into the base of the blades in an even layer. This is important for a few reasons. Firstly, it helps to secure the base of the blades forcing them to stand more upright. Secondly, it helps to protect the backing (the sheet the blades are woven into) from UV exposure, preventing deterioration. At Ace Turf we use Zeolite over sand as zeolite will retain moisture helping to cool the grass throughout the day.
