Power Brooming: The final step in the installation process is to groom your turf using a power broom. This step could also be done with a push-broom or grandi rake, however, a motorized power broom makes the step a lot easier. After infilling the turf, the power broom is ran against the grain of the
Turf Infill: There are two primary functions of synthetic turf infill. The first is to assist in anchoring your artificial turf by adding weight to the backing. This is essential in preventing ripples from developing during warm / cool temperature fluctuations. The other function turf infill serves is to add ballast and to assist in

You simple take the two sides of each section of grass and abut them together (in a straight line). Nailing the butt-seam
Once your subbase is installed and properly compacted, a heavy duty weed block fabric will be installed over the base to prevent weed growth. We use a DuPont 25-year polyethylene weed barrier that does not deteriorate as some of the fabric type do. The weed barrier is tacked to the base using either sod staples
Subbase Installation: Once the demolition is completed it is time to build the load-bearing foundation of your artificial turf. We prefer to use class II road base which is an unbound mixture of 3/4″ minus crushed rock and fines. Class II road base is the subbase CalTrans installs underneath roads and highways. Some companies prefer
Demolition is the first step in the installation process. In some instances there is a pre-step to demolition which would be to apply an herbicide to the area where the turf will be installed to kill off any weeds or grass. During the demolition, we remove approximate 3.5 to 4 inches of existing earth to
