Installing artificial grass can be a great way to transform your outdoor space, whether it’s a backyard, front yard, or even a commercial area. Not only does it provide a low-maintenance and attractive alternative to natural grass, but it also offers a range of other benefits, such as water conservation and durability.

However, when family homeowners consider the transition to artificial grass, queries frequently surface concerning its installation simplicity and the practicality of self-installation.

Further concerns generally relate to required maintenance procedures. To address these questions, we have collated a comprehensive guide outlining the process of artificial turf installation from beginning to maintain.

Whether you are a DIY enthusiast or a professional landscaper, these tips and techniques will help you master the art of artificial turf installation.

CCGrass, artificial turf installation process

Step 1: Planning

The first step for artificial turf installation is to plan out and measure your garden, figure out how much artificial grass and which accessories you will need.

The astro turf has a width of 2m or 4m and a length of up to 25m. Roughly calculating how many rolls need to be ordered will help you avoid a high amount of waste and ensure that you don’t overspend, maintaining the project cost-effective.

Considering drainage is crucial during the planning phase, as it directly affects the turf’s durability. In areas with good natural drainage, extensive planning may not be needed.

However, if drainage issues exist, proper base preparation can often resolve them without resorting to expensive drainage systems. For further guidance on artificial grass drainage and solutions for common issues, refer to our article, “What You Should Know about Artificial Grass Drainage.”

Tools required for artificial turf installation

Next, what tools do you need to prepare for laying synthetic turf? It depends on the type and size of your installation. Some elements are optional, and some are essential.

  • Tape Measure
  • Sharp Knife
  • Spade or shovel
  • Hammer
  • Bristle Broom/Grass Rake/Motorised power brush
  • Gloves
  • Pins/nails
  • Self-adhesive Joining Tapeor Joining Tape plus Joining Adhesive
  • Aroller or vibrating plate to compact the sand (both can be hired)
  • Weed block cloth –This is optional, but we highly recommend it for outdoor installation.
  • Shockpad – This is optional,especially recommended for concrete surfaces.

Step 2: Base Preparation

Fake grass can be installed on a variety of different surfaces. Here we will focus on the ground preparations for installing artificial grass on soil and concrete.

How to install artificial grass on soil?

a. Get rid of weeds

Before installing grass, the first thing you do is to kill grassroots and weeds. Spray the area with a non-toxic weed killer you trust. Weed killers need ample time to work, so it is recommended that you do this at least two weeks in advance.

b. Add the base material

Get rid of the top layer of soil, about 3 inches to make room for your new base.

Use a shovel to scatter your base material. Generally, in places with a mild climate, you can use gravel, crushed rock, decomposed granite, or any stones smaller than 3/8 inches as a base. Around 3 inches of the base material is needed to improve drainage and avoid slumping.

Use a shovel or sand spreader to lay sand 10-15mm thick on the top of your sub-base to provide a smooth surface.

c. Compact the base

Compact the loose material into a strong base with the help of a roller or vibrating plate (both can be hired).

CCGrass, artificial grass installation, compact base

d. Optional: add a weed barrier

If necessary, after the base is compacted, cover the area with weed block cloth and secure in position with U-shaped nails around the perimeter.

How to install an astroturf on concrete?

a. Clean existing concrete

The uniform standard for the base is that the surface needs to be smooth, clean and level. First, clean your area thoroughly, and then check for uneven surfaces. If they aren’t too uneven and can be fixed, you can use self-leveling compounds.

b. Optional: install the shock pad

While fake grass can be directly laid on concrete, it’s advisable to consider incorporating shock pads in specific applications like play areas or recreational spaces. This enhances safety with cushioning and adds an extra layer of comfort.

Step 3: Lay the artificial turf

Unroll the artificial turf over the area, being careful to not move the weed block cloth, and then let the turf sit in the sun for a few hours – this allows any creases to fall out as well as the condition of the grass yarn will be better.

If you are working with multiple rolls, it is very important that the yarn direction and stitch patterns are facing the same way. Crossing yarn directions will result in poor appearance. Having the yarn direction running toward the house will give the best look from the windows of the house.

CCGrass, grass roll direction diagram

Step 4: Fix the seam

a. Cut off the manufacturing edge strip (if present) or cut off another stitch so that there is as little backing as possible next to the stitch and butt the two edges together.

CCGrass, artificial grass installation, cut edges

b. Fold back the edges and position self-adhesive jointing tape (smooth side down) so that the edges of the carpet meet down the centre of the tape when joined.

c. Fold the turf back into the adhesive tape starting from one end. Work your way down the seam carefully, joining the two pieces together. Make sure tufts aren’t damaged or buried.

Step 5: Cut excess grass

Trimming the excess grass around edges, corners, or obstacles is crucial for achieving a professional-looking installation. Here’s how to do it effectively:

a. Trimming around patio or garden edges

Hold the knife firmly and gently pull back the grass to expose the backing. Maintain a gap of no more than 1/8 inch between the backing and the patio edge while cutting.

b. Cutting against a wall or fence

Fold the turf back and press it tightly against the corner of the wall or fence. Place the blade against the backing where it lands closest to the wall, then lift the turf up and cut in increments of 6 inches at a time. Check the fit periodically by laying the turf back down, ensuring the backing is not too tight against the edges.

c. Relief cuts for corners, trees, or posts

Fold the turf back and make small outward relief cuts where the backing meets the object. Cut from point to point, fitting the grass to the exact curvature of the object.

Take your time during cutting to achieve a precise fit. The goal is for the grass to lay loosely around objects without touching them.

CCGrass, artificial grass installation, cut excess grass

Step 6: Secure the turf in place

On soil: Secure the turf by stretching it taut and fastening it with landscaping pins placed every 6–8 inches along the perimeter. You can also place pins along the seam to secure the turf further.

CCGrass, artificial grass installation, pin perimeters

On concrete: Join the back of the artificial grass and concrete base with an adhesive every 6–8 inches along the perimeter. Alternatively, you can secure the edges with plants or other garden accessories.

Step 7: Sprinkle and brush silica sand

The final step for artificial turf installation is to spread silica sand across your astro turf, building the depth in layers. We recommend 6-8 kg of sand per square metre of lawn.

For the best results, we recommend using a bristle broom or a grass rake to brush the pile before, during and after. Brush against the pile fibre direction to encourage the individual grass tufts to stand upright.

Post-Installation Maintenance and Care

Regular cleaning & brushing

Clear away debris

Clear any debris from your fake grass on a regular basis, particularly following storms or windy days. Leaves, branches, and other items tend to gather on the turf, affecting both its visual appeal and performance.

You can easily accomplish this task by hand-picking larger items and using appropriate tools like a leaf blower, broom, or soft-tipped rake to remove smaller debris.

Rinse the turf

Regularly rinse your artificial turf with water to remove dust, pollen, and any loose dirt. Depending on your location and the frequency of rainfall, you may need to rinse the grass more or less frequently.

Brushing for a natural look

Routinely brushing up the fibers of the grass (against the grain) helps maintain an upright position, resulting in a lush and vibrant appearance for your lawn. Use a stiff-bristle broom or a specialized turf brush for this task.

Remove stains promptly

Spillages can be washed away with water. For lightly soiled areas, a simple solution of warm water and a small amount of mild detergent will do the trick. Wipe it with a sponge, then rinse.

CCGrass, artificial grass garden

Handling pet waste

a. Dealing with pet urine

Thanks to the drainage backing, the urine is naturally handled. You don’t have to clean the turf after every urination. It’s suggested to hose down the turf once a week, especially if it hasn’t rained, to remove any residue.

b. Cleaning up pet feces

Cleaning up pet feces from turf resembles caring for natural grass. Let the waste dry a bit to prevent smearing, then use a doggy bag or scooper for solid waste. In the case of diarrhea, remove as much as possible with a bag or paper towels. Lastly, thoroughly rinse the turf fibers with a hose to ensure cleanliness.

Repairing damaged artificial turf areas

a. DIY repairs for small areas

For minor damages, replacing the damaged patch may be a simple DIY project. It’s always advisable to retain leftover turf from the initial installation to use for repairs, ensuring the best color match.

Trim the damaged turf and place the new piece in the original location, aligning its fibers with those of the existing turf. Secure the turf with nails and a hammer, adding infill for consistency and appearance.

b. Professional help for larger areas

For more extensive damage, it may be necessary to enlist the services of professional turf installers to ensure a seamless repair.

Golf is a challenging but rewarding sport that requires a lot of practice and patience. More and more golfers choose artificial grass putting greens because they are easy to install and maintain, perform well and look attractive. So how do you create a satisfactory artificial putting green?

With this guide, you will learn how to choose the best artificial putting green turf as well as the knowledge of installing and maintaining the putting green, let us take a look.

Everything You Should Know About Artificial Putting Green Turf

How to choose artificial grass for putting green?

Common materials of artificial putting green turf

Artificial putting green turf is a low-pile fake grass that allows golf balls to roll. It is made of durable synthetic fiber materials such as nylon, PE or PP.

Among these materials, nylon is renowned for its durability, resulting in a longer lifespan but at a higher cost. Recently, PE curly monofilament fibers have been trending, providing a compact and smooth surface for optimal ball interaction.

Pile height of putting green turf

The length of the tufts measured from the primary backing top surface to their tips, is usually measured in millimeters (mm). High-pile artificial grass is good for trendy yards as it is more comfortable and lush, but putting greens should have a lower pile height to ensure true ball rolling. The pile height of most putting green surfaces ranges from 13mm to 18mm.

Face weight of putting green turf

Choose thick, high-density artificial grass for your golf putting green, depending on the face weight of the turf. Higher face weight means denser and more durable grass products. Artificial putting green turf with a face weight between 50 and 70 ounces per square yard is ideal.

Turf backing and drainage

The turf backing plays a crucial role in securing the tufted fibers in place, ensuring the desired ‘tuft lock’. CCGrass provides various backing options such as latex, PU, PRT, or RCX. Testing reveals that PU backing, in particular, enhances surface smoothness, offering users a more seamless experience.

While drainage may not be a major concern for the relatively small area of a putting green, PU backing ensures effective drainage, maintaining the playability of the surface.

CCGrass, professional synthetic turf golf courses

UV protection

Outdoor putting green turf is always exposed under the burning sunbeam. Good UV resistance can keep the grass yarn colorfast for years, thus prolonging the life of the putting green. CCGrass artificial grass uses the best UV inhibitors, tested by SGS to UVA 5000h and UVB 3000h, exceeding industry standards.

Putting green infill

The type and amount of infill affects ball speed, ball bounce, and more. One of the most commonly used infills is silica sand, which helps keep the fibers upright and enhances the appearance and performance of the putting green. Infill also regulates the speed of the green, you can add more infill to increase the ball speed or remove infill to make the ball roll more slowly.

For surfaces that require no infill, consider those made from polyethene curly fibers. These fibers stand upright on their own, creating a dense and smooth surface that maintains its shape without the need for infill, providing immediate usability and convenience.

Recreational putting greens vs. professional putting greens

The stamp rating and chipping distance differ between recreational and professional putting greens. The stamp rating indicates the speed of the ball on the putting green while chipping distance refers to the short distance covered when hitting the ball onto the green. Notably, both stimp rating and chipping distance are considerably greater on professional putting greens compared to recreational ones.

Professional putting greens cost 20-50% more due to intricate design needs like specific green slopes and higher standards in turf management. They aim for a heightened challenge and must meet strict competition specifications. In contrast, recreational greens prioritize entertainment and easy maintenance.

You can choose recreational or professional artificial grass putting green according to your usage intention and budget.

Why you should use artificial putting green turf?

How to install artificial putting green turf in the backyard?

CCGrass, steps to installing artificial putting green turf in the backyard

Step1: Choose a location and design

It’s up to you to decide where to place the putting green first. Look for a horizontal location with good drainage. Then communicate with the professional company, inquire, design and order the putting green turf.

Step2: Make the base

The installer will outline the yard with spray paint according to the blueprint. Excavate 3-5 inches of native soil inside the outline, levelling and laying down an optional weed barrier on top of the excavated area.

Then put crushed stone into the area and spread out evenly, compacting with a compacting machine to create a smooth, flat base.

Step3: Install golf cups

Another critical step in installing a backyard putting green is deciding where the cups go. Use a shovel or spatula to make holes for the cups and insert golf cups into the holes. To ensure reliable installation, it is recommended to apply concrete to secure the rim of the cup. Then, compact the sub-base around each cup with a hand compactor to level the surface.

Step4: Install and cut artificial turf

Place green turf on the base and carefully cut out the shape and size of your design with a carpet knife. You can use chalk to scribe your design onto the top of the turf. As a rule of thumb, use turf nails along the perimeter to secure the contour. Next, use your hand to press down on the lawn to find the cups and use a carpet knife to cut out the holes.

Tip: Lay the turf flat in the sun for a few hours to allow it to stretch – this will remove creases and the fibers will be in better condition.

Step5: Apply infill and brush

Applying a proper layer of sand infill to your artificial putting green is very important. Use a stiff brush or electric broom to vertically brush synthetic grass to make sure the infill is evenly spread out.

How to clean and maintain artificial grass when putting green?

CCGrass, artificial grass putting green

Artificial putting greens require some simple maintenance to keep them in top condition.

  • Weekly: Remove debris such as leaves from putting green turf.
  • Monthly: If your putting green gets dusty, you can simply rinse your grass with a water hose. For mildly soiled areas, a basic mixture of warm water and a small amount of mild household detergent solution will do the trick! Just wipe it with a sponge and then rinse.
  • If the blades look flat: Rake the turf so that the blades stand up.
  • Avoid wearing high heels or carrying sharp objects onto the putting green area.
  • Keep sticky objects such as chewing gum away from your putting green turf.

Fake grass putting green FAQs

Q: Why choose a fake grass putting green over natural grass?

Here’s a quick comparison between artificial grass and natural grass putting greens:

Aspect Fake grass putting green Natural grass putting green
Maintenance Low (no mowing, no watering, no fertilizing) High (regular mowing, watering, fertilizing)
Environmental Impact Minimal (no chemicals, less water usage) Requires pesticides, water, and chemicals
Year-round Playability Yes Seasonal limitations
Durability High (resistant to wear and tear) Subject to wear from foot traffic and weather conditions
Safety Safer (non-toxic, minimal risk of allergies); non-slip surface Potential allergies; slippery when wet
Cost Economical long-term investment; pay once and enjoy savings Annual lawn expenses (equipment, maintenance, watering)

Q: DIY or hire a pro to install a fake grass putting green?

Installing artificial putting greens requires precision for a smooth and level playing surface. Due to the complexity, DIY installation is generally discouraged. Opt for professional assistance to ensure a long-lasting backyard putting green of the highest quality.

For those seeking a convenient solution, our Golf Putting Mat, with its lightweight and easily storable features, requires no installation. It is exceptionally versatile, suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, making it an ideal choice for golfers of all ages.

Q: How do you adjust the stimp speed of an artificial putting green?

The stimp speed of an artificial putting green is fine-tuned by adjusting silica sand infill – more infill for a faster roll, less for a slower pace. Choosing specific grass materials, like compressed poly or thin-bladed nylon, creates a harder and more compact surface, resulting in faster ball roll.

Q: How long does an artificial turf putting green last?

The longevity of an artificial turf putting green is influenced by factors including material quality, usage, regular maintenance, and exposure to climate and sunlight. With proper care, high-quality putting green turf can endure for up to 10 years or more, providing long-lasting enjoyment for golf enthusiasts.

Q: Will practising on a fake grass putting green improve my golf skills?

Certainly! Training on a synthetic turf putting green significantly enhances golf skills. The consistent surface aids precision and muscle memory, while the convenience of a home green allows for frequent practice, thereby boosting confidence. Many pros swear by artificial turf greens for honing short-game skills.

Conclusion

The emergence of artificial grass-putting greens has broken the tradition that only when you go to the golf course can you enjoy the fun of swinging, making the dream of playing golf anytime and anywhere a reality.

Armed with a thorough knowledge of the artificial putting green turf, it’s time to build your own putting paradise and start swinging!

Advantages of artificial turf with dogs

If you’ve explored the realm of synthetic grass, you’re likely acquainted with benefits like water conservation and minimal maintenance. However, does installing artificial grass align with the needs of our canine companions?

Let’s now shift our focus to the advantages:

No pests, allergens, or chemicals

Artificial turf offers a pet-friendly solution, free from pests, allergens, and harmful chemicals. Say goodbye to worries about fleas, ticks, grass burrs, and pollen commonly found in natural grass. The low-maintenance aspect is a bonus—no chemicals are needed for its care, dogs can freely enjoy their time in close contact with the fake grass.

Clean and beautiful

Opt for artificial pet turf to maintain a consistently clean and attractive outdoor space. The turf stays lush and vibrant year-round, with pet waste having no impact on its color. With no soil or mud, eliminate muddy paws and prints, creating a cleaner environment both indoors and outdoors.

Durable and long-lasting

Maintaining natural grass in high-activity dog areas can be challenging, but our artificial turf for dogs provides a remarkable solution. Resilient, UV resistant, and weatherproof, it withstands energetic play, allowing your furry friends to run, jump, and stretch throughout the day without causing wear or damage.

Easy to clean and maintain

Thanks to its permeable backing system, cleaning artificial grass is effortlessly simple. Liquid waste can be easily hosed away, and for solid waste, promptly scoop it up and rinse the area. This beats natural grass, where surprises are easily overlooked, especially in uneven or long grass.

Perfect for playful activities

Synthetic turf transforms into a haven for play, providing dogs with a delightfully soft surface. It creates an ideal setting for carefree family moments, with a smooth and level surface that ensures safe play. This makes it perfect for both kids and dogs to frolic and have fun, encouraging joyous interactions between family members and their furry companions.

Disadvantages of artificial turf for dogs

Undoubtedly, artificial turf offers numerous benefits for pet owners; however, it’s essential to acknowledge that, like any solution, it has its drawbacks.

Costly upfront expenses

Artificial grass for pets may entail a higher initial cost than real grass or alternatives. Factors like area size, material quality, and installation fees contribute to this expense. However, it’s important to weigh this against the potential long-term savings from reduced maintenance and lawn care.

Can heat up in direct sunlight

Fake grass absorbs heat in direct sunlight, potentially causing discomfort for pets, especially on scorching summer days. Pet owners may need to implement measures to cool down the artificial grass, such as spraying water on it or providing shaded areas. Also, some artificial turf suppliers offer turf and infill with cooling features, helping keep your dog cool during hot weather.

Potential for odor buildup

While fake turf resists staining from dog urine, it may trap odors if not properly maintained. Regular rinsing with water helps keep the turf fresh, and stubborn odors can be addressed using a water and vinegar mixture. Additionally, opting for pet turf with antimicrobial protection can effectively mitigate the buildup of unpleasant odors.

Doesn’t last forever

Synthetic grass, durable yet with a limited lifespan, is affected by factors like usage, foot traffic, yarn type, installation quality, and maintenance. A well-maintained, high-quality artificial lawn typically lasts between 8 to 12 years or even longer. Notably, replacing artificial turf incurs higher costs compared to rejuvenating a natural grass lawn.

FAQS about Fake Grass Rugs

How to install fake grass rugs?

Installing an artificial grass rug varies based on the type you have. For instance, rugs like our Picnic Mat require no installation; simply unfold, lay down, or fold up and leave. On the other hand, some rugs need to be placed on a flat surface, cut to fit the desired area, and then installed using lawn staples or grass tape.

Reminder: Grass may flatten during transportation; this is normal. It will regain its intended look after exposure to sunlight.

How to cut artificial grass carpets?

You may want to trim the rug, particularly if the designated area has irregular edges. To do so, flip it over and use a sharp box cutter to cut through the backing. Cut pieces slightly larger than needed to allow for a margin of error.

How to clean an artificial grass rug?

Fake grass doesn’t absorb dirt, making it easy to clean. Shake the rug to dislodge loose dirt and debris, and brush regularly to keep the blades standing up straight.

Rinse it with a hose or under running water, then place it in the sun to dry—repeat as needed to maintain its original look. For tougher stains, spot cleaning with a mild detergent and water solution is effective.

How long does an artificial turf mat last?

The lifespan of an artificial grass mat depends on the quality of the material and maintenance. With proper care, it can last 8-10 years or more.

Conclusion

Whether indoors or outdoors, a fake grass rug can effortlessly bring a touch of nature and add vibrant greenery to your space. What’s even more surprising is that grass carpets are available in a wide variety of styles, colors, heights, and densities.
