Cutting Artificial Grass to a curved edge
zhlédnutí 34KPřed 4 lety
Cutting artificial grass around objects can be intimidating for some. It's not like sod where you can just chop up small chunks and patch in the holes. A sharp blade and precise cut will leave you with a finished edge that looks great for years to come. Here we have a unique cut. A square finished edge has been converted to a curve with the use of Precision Edge garden edging. The turf has appr...

This step-by-step video series breaks down each important step to the artificial grass installation p...
Final Touches to Installing Artificial Grass - Step 9
zhlédnutí 25KPřed 4 lety
Often after infilling, excess infill can get trapped between the outer grass blades and the perimeter wall, causing them to lean away from the wall and press into neighbouring blades. To remove this infill and allow your outer grass blades to relax, use a shop vac around all edges of your project area that have a perimeter wall. This will give you a loose natural finish to your edges. For the b...
Powerbrooming Artificial Grass - Step 8
zhlédnutí 54KPřed 4 lety
To get your infill layer to drop completely down into the backing of your grass, the object is to brush the grass blades back, allowing the infill to drop in and not just pushed across the surface. When using a power broom, it is important to not throttle too hard as you will do more harm than good. With firm downward pressure, ease the throttle on until the powerbroom is pushing you backwards....
Infilling Artificial Grass - Step 7
zhlédnutí 56KPřed 4 lety
The type of infill used on your project is specific to the chosen application. In this case, there will be both kids and pets using the grass, so we went with a 50 percent PureZEO and 50% Envirofill infill. We are putting in the PureZEO first as a deodorizing layer and capping it with Envirofill. Place a bag in your wheelbarrow and slice the bottom open with your X-Acto knife. You can infill th...
Seaming Artificial Grass - Step 6
zhlédnutí 131KPřed 4 lety
A great seam starts with the correct preparation. If you remove just one outer tuft and seam that edge, it will be extremely visible with the blades pressing together looking like a Mohawk. Removing the outer three tufts along with the factory edge will give you a vertical row of blades that line up perfectly with the piece of grass you are seaming to. If the space between the tufts on your cho...
Spiking Artificial Grass - Step 5
zhlédnutí 75KPřed 4 lety
Depending on the amount of foot traffic anticipated on and off the grass, we recommend spiking patio edges every 4 - 6 inches with a spiral galvanized spike. Use the tip of the spike to pull the blades back exposing the backing beneath. Use your thumb and forefinger to keep the blades spread apart while you tap the spike down. It should rest flat against the backing with no blades trapped down ...
Cutting & Installing Artificial Grass - Step 4

Our knife of choice for cutting turf is a snap blade X-Acto knife with 18mm black Olfa blades. If you are installing up to a patio or garden edge, it’s safe to remove just the outer tuft along with your factory edge. If you are cutting to prepare for a seam, always remove the outer three tufts and the factory edge. When your two pieces of grass are laying side-by-side, the joining blades want t...
Rolling Out Your Artificial Grass - Step 3
zhlédnutí 49KPřed 4 lety
With the base finished up and a turf plan ready to go, use marking paint and mark out your project area with reference marks for where your seams will land. Determine which size roll needs to be installed first and remove any packaging. A sharp blade with light pressure does the trick. If available, roll the grass out on a flat surface, it will make the next steps quick and easy. When you know ...
Preparing the Base for Artificial Grass - Step 2
zhlédnutí 343KPřed 4 lety
Before bringing in base materials, the soil beneath should be shaped to accommodate drainage throughout the yard. A 3/4” clear crush can be used in drainage channels or as a first layer base for additional drainage. The base is built with a 4 to 6 inch layer of 3/4” crush and fines. Place and rake the gravel out evenly to your desired grade and then give your project area a thorough soaking. On...
Developing a Turf Plan - Step 1

Having your turf plan in place before starting your project is an essential step to a quality Bella Turf installation. Measuring and mapping out your yard will help you choose the layout that fits best and creates as little waste as possible. Keep in mind, most of our products come in 15’ widths, but if you’ve got seams to do, account for 14.5 foot grass sections. Consider the direction of the ...

Keep your artificial grass looking like new
zhlédnutí 89KPřed 5 lety
With an artificial grass installation in your yard, the maintenance is next to nothing. To keep your grass looking just as good as it did the day you installed it, we recommend keeping it clear of any debris that may decompose down in the blades. Here are a few tips to help you maintain that perfect lawn with everyday landscape tools.
The #1 reason for bad seams in Artificial Grass
zhlédnutí 177KPřed 6 lety
In the manufacturing process, the edges of the artificial grass go through a roller system. This is the cause of the outer most blades leaning towards the outside of the roll. If these outer 3-4 tufts are not cut off before seaming two pieces of grass together, your seam will be forever visible. Take our advice and make those seams dissapear once and for all.

Man that looks like a PITA
Fantastic video I understand now why they cost so much it’s one heck of a lot of work 🤭🏌️♂️👍
What if you are trying to join the turf the other way?
How to I level the floor and which gravel to use.
Thats terrible
If you wanted to add weed barrier and/or gopher wire where would you put it?
What happens if we skip this step? Why is this step relevant?
2:45 Did somebody drop their chewing-gum? 😄
Excellent
I really enjoy your videos. Thanks to you I installed my turf myself!
How do I calculate how much base gravel I need if I know my square footage and inches I want in depth.
15x15 example project area at 4” deep. (225 sqft) • Convert base depth from inches to feet (4”÷ 12” = 0.333’) • Multiply sqft of project by required base depth (225 x .333) to find total cubic feet of base required. (75) • Divide the cubic feet by the number of cubic feet in a cubic yard (27) to find the number of cubic yards of base needed (75 ÷ 27 = 2.77 cu. yd.).

Very helpful when laying grass today, thank you!
I have a bad problem of quackgrass that completely took over my artificial turf and don’t know to remove it properly
Didn’t need a 2x4 base?
Can you do my yard
is there a way to remove the sand from the turf ?that gets in kids eyes when playing voleyball
Would this work if instead of using base you used dirt but it was flatended dirt
You guys did this way to complicated easier ways to do it
We love the "S" seam czcams.com/video/duTmRWn_dGQ/video.htmlsi=_j5e03THAkQCc0OL
Great work. Rough estimate for all materials?
Amazing thank you. I have tons that grow over the 6 month period in the winter
Great job! What state is this work done?
Great video
how much space should i leave between two pieces together?
More like an idiot spraying the same spot
The BEST video on how to cut Astro Turf
My turf lifts at the edges a little bit. Did they install wrong?
Interested. I live also in Roanoke TX
Thanks! check them out at shop.bellaturf.ca
Would it be possible to only use 3/4 granite/gravel without the fines? I want the best drainage possible.
this guy made a huge mistake. he didn't check the roll for square before he cut it. You have to do that because once you cut into a roll, you can't return it.
how many square feet is the putting green?
I'm pretty sure that cost more than $199....we're searching for the $199 process
Great video, this helped me a lot
What’s the dimensions of just the green? Length and the widest point of width
13x20 is green only. Add 16" all the way around for the fringe. Also available in a smaller 13x10 or a larger 15x24. bellaturf.ca has all the info
I thought this would be a great idea to install in my back yard before watching this short documentary .
Is weed blocker needed?
Can make a video with putting green please ?
Anyone know if weeds will grow through the turf?
No need to glue the sides?
Other videos say cut the turf a bit long and tuck the edge with a putty knife or chisle. Your thoughts on that? Thanks,
Hi Could you tell us why arteficial grass is better than natural one.thanks
Best video I have watched explaining how to do it
Where is the landscape fabric??? This yard will be full of weeds in 2-3 years.
You didnt need weed plastic sheets?
Fantastic installation video. The best I have seen.
