Landscape Turf Installation Guide

A complete, step‑by‑step guide to installing artificial grass for lawns, backyards, front yards, rooftops, and patios — including base prep, grading, turf layout, seams, edging, and finishing.

Quick summary:

A proper landscape turf installation is built around drainage, stability, and long‑term durability. Your NO‑INFILL turf system simplifies maintenance and eliminates loose materials — ideal for residential and commercial landscapes.

1. Site Preparation

Remove existing grass or surface

Strip away natural grass, weeds, soil, or old materials. Excavate 3–4 inches to prepare for the new base.

Rough grading

Shape the area to promote drainage away from structures. A gentle slope (1–2%) is ideal.

2. Base Construction

The base determines drainage, stability, and long‑term performance.

Add crushed stone base

Use ¾” clear stone or similar free‑draining aggregate. Spread in layers and compact thoroughly.

Final grading & compaction

Compact the base using a plate compactor until it is firm and level. Ensure water flows away from the home.

3. Weed Barrier (Optional)

Install a high‑quality geotextile fabric to prevent weed growth while allowing water to pass through.

4. Turf Layout

Roll out the turf

Allow the turf to relax for 30–60 minutes so fibres stand upright and backing settles.

Align grain direction

Ensure all pieces run in the same direction for a consistent appearance.

5. Seam Joining

Strong seams are essential for a clean, natural‑looking lawn.

Apply seam tape & adhesive

Use high‑quality turf adhesive and seam tape. Press turf edges firmly into the adhesive.

Blend fibres

Brush fibres at the seam to blend the join and create a natural look.

6. Perimeter Securing

Secure edges to prevent lifting and maintain a clean finish.

Use landscape spikes every 4–6 inches
Install edging or lumber for clean transitions
Ensure no loose edges remain

7. NO‑INFILL Advantage

Your landscape turf system is engineered to perform without infill — a major advantage over traditional turf.

No rubber or silica infill
No infill migration or mess
No top‑ups or grooming
Cleaner, safer, low‑maintenance lawns
Consistent appearance for 20–30 years

8. Final Grooming

Brush the turf fibres upright using a power broom or stiff‑bristle broom. This ensures a natural look and optimal drainage.
