How to Make a Backyard Artificial Turf Field
Vložit

- It took about 3 months and cost $11,700 in 2012. The end of the video shows how it looks 4 years later in 2016. The reason it costs so much was due to excavation, a retaining wall, lawn pad, a perimeter wood wall and expensive delivery. The turf was a remnant purchased from Tencate for $2,530 which included shipping from Georgia to Kansas. Envirofill ($504) + SofPlay lawn pads ($1,190) were purchased from XGrass. Shipping for those two things were $588. Envirofill is a painted sand product that is less toxic than black crushed tires. The field measures 50' x 30' and uses two pieces of turf with a seam down the middle.

“Dad I think I wana play baseball now”
Kenny Grays I’m happy to say that never happened.
hahaha, good one!
Video Guy well even if that did happen you can probably transform that easily into stuff for baseball
That would literally be the best thing that has ever happened to any child that plays soccer, your a great person.
Thank you very much.
I don't have backyard but still I am watching this video
this is awesome man. I don't even want a big house in the future, a full field natural grass field and turf field like this and ill be happy
step one
be rich
For some reason I thought it was gonna be something you could do within 10 mins
Aidan Hughes same
Try it. Buy some turf and roll it over your existing yard.
Aidan Hughes Yeah if you're wealthy and rich you can do this under 10 minutes
Video Guy what number did u call so they can come fix it
I don't understand.
Amazing work! Great way to keep the kids fit.
Kids look like they can play. This is awesome!!!
great job! Don't listen to silly comments lol anyone would be lucky to have that in their back yard! All the best.
why am i watching this, im never going to build a back garden artificial pitch...
I dont know who would dislike this video
You should setup mini floodlights and a little stand on the side haha this is amazing man! Keep it up!, can get some 3 vs 3 or even U10's games on that :)
We've set up mobile floodlights before. I think that our neighbors hate it.
Haha, night matches, invite them along to a free match ticket so they don't hate it anymore ;) I'd love to do this once I move into a house with a garden, sadly can't do this in an apartment haha, play indoors i think mine hate me for kicking my ball around.
no, no
have to then make
Looks good wish I had the room to build something like this
This looks absolutely fantasticly amazingly amazing. Great job!!!
Now that’s a good dad right there. Good job brother
Thanks for keeping it straight to the point subscribed !
realy good video man your kids are soooooo lucky
Awesome nice work i would do the same for my kids, you are an awesome Dad
Really cool, act as an ice rink in winter too, a back wall behind net would be a cool addition
Yes. Nice to see the dude in the mighty Liverpool top.

Dude good thinking and excellent job, I bet kids are happy!
nice backyard dude...
At 1:35 and 1:49 skills were shown😎 ..lovely work thankx for sharing..
This is very impressive mate good stuff
U should make a roof too so during winter time it’s gone be hella guuuud
I tried, but the heavy snow broke the roof.
Love it, awesome job!
Epic job. Definitely doing this in my garden!
Oh my days 😍
spent all that and cheesed out on some real goals..nice job btw
The goals have lasted for 5 years! They do need new nets though.
Very nice landscape around the field
That's freaking awesome, I want that done in my back yard.
Wow I'm definitely going to have one in the future.
As much as i want this, my parents won't ever but that for me😫
I'm an idiot but I'll still agree with you because Did you mean to say “buy” that for me?
Your work here was absolutely impressive. Can you tell us from which company you bought the lawn pads and how much they cost? Thanks much.
I've added that to the description. The lawn pads are a 1" thick, 4'x8' SofPlay product purchased from XGrass. $19.20 each. These are not necessary if you buy a quality crushed rock and do a good job of compressing it.
i just ran into this video awesome video and to be honest i don't think thats a lot of money to invest in your kids and something they love !! love it
I m bringing my team to play against yours 4 vs 4 . Good job man I love it .
Yeah I'll definitely do that today
SPUDDS ALLI stop lying 🤥
HEY....if you have the money why not!! make your kids dream come true...that way they'll lear that working hard you can do anything possible
Best artificial lawn ground i have ever seen
Awesome job! Only thing that was missing was one of your kids wearing a Liverpool shirt. Bad daddy!
We R Liverpool Tra la la la la no
YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE!
wow looks amazing goodwork
at 1:47 that kid dominates the other guy
This is AWESOME!!
Should have got bigger nets for when they're older
why so they can blast the shit out of the ball and break a neighbor's window??? no need for kicking it hard just tap it in
Yeah but how will they get good if they only do that?
Ciaran Spriggs Go to soccer trainings??
Then they found out they were about to move...
Really wish I had money for this :(
One day i will
backyard goals 🤩
nice and you should have add the bleachers
Beautiful
*BEST DAD EVER*
Nice! How has the field held up during the four years? is there any regular maintance needed for it? I'm debating between grass and turf for my home field...
The field is great. All I do is blow the leaves off of it.
Your kids got skills man
So cool, I like it
Hi! Awesome video and thinking of doing this in our yard. We had someone come
Out to give us quote and design our yard ... contractor suggested for our space , 15ft*30ft would be good , is that too small for a mini soccer backyard field and just be a waste or is that a decent size for my kids to play. They are 5and 7years old.
NICE VID!!
Great job
I was wondering how maintenance of this is? Living in Florida im afraid of drainage problems and other weather related fatigue.
My turf is a high quality product that still looks good after many years of use and extreme temperature changes living in Kansas. It's flattened a bit from normal use, but I also could have added more infill. The turf is also porous, so water drains through it. However, if there is a heavy rain, it's important that you have a small slope so excess water drains away from your house. The only maintenance required for me is to blow off the leaves every so often.
Also, what do you do to maintain this field? Does it have to be maintained monthly or weekly?
There is no maintenance. I just blow the leaves off the pitch sometimes.
Perfect for VOLTA
So you mentioned you wish you would have used a different gravel. Can you explain what you used and what you wished you would have used? Also I was interested in how the wood barrier is working and if it is rotting.
I don't have an answer regarding the gravel. I chose the cheaper quote and the company delivered something that retained some water. Bad luck. The wood barrier wall has not started rotting. It does a nice job of keeping the ball in play.
The things we do for our children lol
Any suggestions for a better rock to use as a base?
consult a local dealer.
The shit we do for our kids!!
Ok boomer
i wish i have that but i like your video its amazing and cool thumbs up for this video
that looks great!!!!!!!! :)
How were you able to get the turf? I tried looking for the site but couldn't seem to find it
Andrew Sanchez www.tencate.com/en/
That is nice man
Wow me llega,buen travajo.
In grass phah a khawng em??
Was the wooden perimeter easy to install? I’d like to just install a wooden permiter jus around some grass in my backyard
Yes. Drill holes in wood and drive metal spikes through the holes deep into the ground. This will help secure the wood.
Did they start at 2012 and finish at 2016?
No, it only took a few months to complete. The last image says "4 years later" and shows the landscaping and how my kids still enjoy it.
Do you have crown on the feild for drainage?
The field has a slope away from the house for drainage.
One of your children is gonna be a great soccer player in a future.
I love it!
Can you tell us what kind of plastic film you used to fuse the underside of the two pieces of turf together and also what kind of adhesive?
The plastic film was provided by the turf manufacturer (Tencate). It was maybe 12 inches wide and a thin clear plastic. You can hear it "crackle" when walking on the seam which I find a little annoying. The adhesive was an all-purpose adhesive... probably Liquid Nails... and has done a great job.
How is the condition of your turf now? Have you replaced them yet?
The condition is OK. I did not add enough infill, so the "blades" of grass near the goals are flat because they have the most traffic. However, this is not a problem. I will probably never replace anything.
When you build the turf field like that, is the surface permeable? The reason I ask is that my county only gives us a certain amount of non-permeable space to build on. Otherwise brilliant build!
There are holes in the turf for water drainage. It is a permeable surface. However, if there is a very heavy rain, there will be some run-off. So, you have to consider where the water will go. Make sure there is a small slope away from your house.
1:34 he hit him with that reverse elastico 🔥🔥🔥🔥
❤❤❤ notin but love for this project my boi👍🙏🙏

is adding the lawn pads better if using for soccer or will the gravel without the lawn pads be stable enough to play on over time?
Mr. A lawn pad is optional. If you have good compacted gravel, quality turf and infill, you do not need lawn pad.
Video Guy i have compacted the gravel but there is still some that won’t compact and scared it will cause the grass to shift around and possibly get worse overtime so i was curious if the pads would help with shifting and feeling some bumpy-ness from the un compacted rocks
Mr. A the turf is very heavy and is nailed around the perimeter. My turf is not perfectly flat because the gravel was low quality and retained moisture. The lawn pad might have helped, but the pitch is a little bumpy in some areas. It is still a great place to play and better than a grass yard with dirt, mud, rocks, sticks, etc.
Amazing 👍👍👍💪💪💪
kids got lucky to train their skill just at the back yard
What are your field dimensions and do you recommend any places to buy turf? Thxs
Read full description.
What’s going on... So I’m currently setting my base for a similar dimensioned soccer field. Once complete I will need to install my shock pads but the problem I’m finding is most places such as Brock USA, ultra base systems etc are very costly. Sofplay would be a great alternative based on what you paid per your description. Can you provide me with a website for the padding underpayment? Thank you
Sorry, but I don't remember where I purchased the lawn pad. I'm also not convinced that it was truly necessary. If you do a good job with quality compacted gravel, you might not need the extra expense.
from where did you get the artificial grass
Read the description.
I knew of someone that had this same set up and went on to become a professional player I guessed the money his parents forked out to build him this paid off
Awesome!
How were you able to order from Tencate for the turf?
I think I ordered it on the phone. It was a long time ago.
Very cool project. Nicely done. I'd like to do this myself but my concern is that with no drainage the turf must become an absolute swamp after a rain storm. I would assume that those pads stay wet for quite some time
There are holes in the turf and there is a slight slope for water drainage. There has never been a swamp after torrential Kansas rain storms.
can you do my garden
Now i know why is europe have so many talented football playera
1:47 dude got rekt
i'm planning to do the same in a few weeks (in indiana) but still couldn't decide whether artificial turf(due to cost) or just grass. you excavated to level the ground? do we need to contact the city for permissions?
Im guessing real grass would cost more in the long run coz of maintenance the other part, Idk lol
Turf is better. Little maintenance and annoyance. Grass feels better tho
I’ve decided to use real grass for now.
How do you avoid rot and mold in the wood trim around the field?
I used pressure-treated lumber. It has no rot because it sits on too of the crushed rock.
@@VideoGuy thank you for the reply! That helps a lot with my own project.
So satisfying
Where did you get your turf from? Thank you
Read the entire description.
How much dod you spend on it? And what are the size you used? I wanna make the same at my house.
Read the full description please.
