Thank you guys for this video. I was quoted at 14,500 to get fake grass installed. I decided to do it my self along with some help from my buddies and we knocked the whole thing out for under 5,000 In 3 days The digging and leveling was the hardest part for us. But you can do it if I can!
I’m still going to lay it down. I’m guessing I’ll get a lumpy patio. And I agree these guys are doing a good job - if I like the look and want to keep it - I’ll hire a pro, but for now I’ll only put $200 for the Astroturf
Yeah who knew i thought the whole point of artificial turf was to avoid the work of real grass. I never would have thought to use nails and what was the point of putting sand on top of the turf?
@@ender2664 that's great to hear. I certainly don't have a professional backyard myself, although I live in a neighborhood where people try to keep theirs that way. Nice to know this won't be too difficult. I think I'll just try to get a piece that is precut to the size I need, make it easier.
I just finished my back yard. About 1700sqft. First time doing it and lots and lots of videos watched. This video helped me a lot. One of the best on youtube. For people wanting to do this...guys its not that hard. Just labour. I`ve done most of the work alone. I only needed help when i joined 2 pcs. My pcs (2) were 15m long by 4m wide, so yeah...very heavy. Used about 1000 nails, but this helped me not to put any sand at the end. When you cut to make a seam, make sure you cut one pc very close to the yarn, and the other pc leave a lip of 1/4`` so you keep the gap consistent between the yarn when they are close together. The gap between pcs, not more than 1/16. I also used seam tape to glue them together, then nails...every 2``. I have 2 seams, and you cant even see where they are. I`m very happy with my first time. Now i have to wait for next year and good weather and get the front of the house done. Btw...do your research and order your artificial turf from China (alibaba). I paid $3000 for 3400 sqft, and i sold half of it for $3000. My 1700sqft back yard cost me $700 including the base material, weed barrier, tools rentals and beer. Cheers!
How is the quality of your turf you bought from China? I order tons of stuff direct from China. But never thought of this. Would you mind sharing your source on there?
As a professional artificial grass installer in the UK I am always interested to see how others install grass. We use a 1" sharp (concreting) sand layer on top of the sub base as this gives a much nicer feel when walking on it, more like real grass. We also always use a weed membrane on top of that to prevent weeds from growing up through the grass, the artificial grass has drainage holes, it is not a weed barrier in itself. We don't nail the grass down, what are you nailing into? dirt? that is not going to give a long term stable lawn. We fit a 2"x2" tanalised timber border to the area prior to putting the sub base and sand down. The grass is then nailed onto the timber and tucked down over it, using the carpet stretcher to tension the lawn which ensures no wrinkles. Finally we don't use infill, it used to be required to keep the pile upright but with the modern artificial grasses it is no longer required, we power brush it up and it stays up.
The UK does EVERYTHING DIFFERENT! Doesnt necessarily mean its the brst way. American products as well as other countries in Europe, is BY FAR BETTER than UK. Thank you🙏🏿
Great job! So much more work than I would have expected. Much respect to you and your brother for showing and doing the job correctly and properly. Thanks!
What I get from the comments section Is that many of the people In comments have never worked a labor intensive job lol. This actually looks like I thought It would. I'm putting down some turf In my small yard. I live In an apartment that has a lot of rocks In the back and my fog walks out there so I dont want her walking all over some of the sharper rocks and she likes to lay In the sun. I plan on getting a decent 8X15 piece and just putting It over the rocks. I dont care about wrinkles or for It to be as nice as you guys did It since It'll be temporary. Hope It comes out looking okay at least. Keep up the hard work.
First, I love that you cleaned as you went. I’m a contractor and I hate how subs leave messes and work in messes. I’m curious why you don’t use a carpet knife, they are so much sharper! Also, if I was a homeowner I wouldn’t just follow those lines on the bottom as you cut. One reason is because your sidewalks may not be straight (most likely not). Great attention to detail guys!!
So nice to see quality workmanship! .... it is a rare commodity these days ..! ... Very few people / companies take pride in a job WELL DONE ... They charge an arm and a leg but the customer service sucks!
Great video thank you !!! After compacting the aggregate what is the final inches you want from concrete surface to make turf blades just flush or just below flush with sidewalk Mahalo for the help and reply
Learned a lot! Great work and going the extra mile on the install. I’ve seen installs where they only secure the perimeter and looks terrible with ripples. I’m now convinced I can’t do this and need to hire you! LOL
Wowt thank you so much for this this vid. I will be doing this by my self in my front lawn but was very clueless on how to do it! You did an amazing job in explaining this diy vid. Thank you so much handsome man! Have a great day!
You did a really good job. I’ve seen so many fake grass that’s been installed and it’s kind of loose and that makes it look so bad. So I’m doing my own artificial grass at the weekend with my son, how can I make sure that it’s taught enough. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks
My wife and I are going to do this with 130yrds of turf. Big project! I was thinking of putting down ant killer granuals and weed preventer chemicals. Before laying it. Thoughts???
DEALING WITH THE LONG SEAMS WILL BE A TRICKY EYESORE WITH THAT BIG A SPACE.... RECOMMEND TAKING SCISSORS CUTTING LOTS OF BLADES OFF A SCRAP PIECE THEN DRIZZLE A CLEAR EPOXY GLUE OVER THE SEAM THEN SPREAD/SHAKE THE CLIPPINGS OVER GLUE AND SEAM TO MASK IT EVEN MORE!
I'm planning to opening an installation company, but I need some guidance and this video really helped. Can you please give a list of all tools/machine you used in this video so I can get them?
Is the cost of installation equivalent to a basic deck? I have seen estimates from $2500-7000 per Google listings. Thanks! I think making sure the gradient is properly angled to ensure proper water runoff is the main part that can be a bit challenging.
good video the only thing I would have you keep in mind is the artificial grass is plastic and it does expand and contrast you should have put nails in the middle
Nice job. A few quick questions. How many man-hours did it take for you to do this? And, how much would you have charged a customer for this job (labor and materials)? Thanks for sharing this project.
Wow! Great job! I had no idea this took so much work!I would for sure hire this done! Also great job explaining everything.I subscribed so I can give my hubby honey do jobs.😁
Great video. Thanks for posting! I’m about to tackle my project. What is your preferred base? Decomposed granite is more expensive than the entire project but recommended by manufacturer! I was thinking a small dusty crushed stone. Has your approach changed since posting? Thank you.
Thank you this video! Two questions. For just a small 7x8 space that gets little foot traffic, how important to compact the base. Also, what does the sand at the end do? Thank you!
Good job I put down some d.g over my road base. 1 inch of D.G. then the turf. My customers ask for a weed barrier for extra weed protection. Everything else you guys did is great. Keep up your videos
I've seen people put weed fabric below the base dirt (decomposed granite) and sometimes they put it above the decomposed granite. Sometimes people don't use weed blocker at all like above. I'd like to know the long term effects of these choices. Anyone?
Awesome video.... can you say a fair price range for a job like this? i dont want to get ripped off by some company.... what is way too much? What price is fair? Is 2K too much for a job like this?
I don't think you put enough nails in 😂 If it was me I would screed a layer of sharp sand over compacted hardcore and then a membrane before laying A/T as it can never be perfectly level if you are putting it straight onto compacted hardcore but it would be if you used a screed layer of sand and you never have to worry about stones poking through also a bit ridiculous that you needed a laser level for such a small area I would measure of the bed joint of block work if I wanted to quickly check depth but even that would be unnecessary and as for all them nails what a load of bollicks a carpet is held from the perimeter and the same for A/T all them nails into compacted hardcore is nonsense but other than all of the workmanship I enjoyed the upload 👍🇮🇪
I have a small backyard where I’m interested in sloping the turf in order to encourage good runoff. What grade of slope should I do and what kind of aggregate mixture do you recommend for a situation like this?
Useless why have you laid the turf straight on the MOT you need a screeded base or screeded 10mm - dust limestone. Fall on that might as well fall in concrete
I've seen people installing artificial grass with 2x1 around the edge and nailing them down. It Seems to be a nice finish plus your not using as many nails. Great video by the way.
In Nevada we hired a Company and they did it Professionally. On a half Acre we got 32ftx48ft, charged us 8,000$ and was worth every Penny after watching them do all of the Labor lol
Great video. I know nothing about fake grass so Q1 what dose the sand on the grass do? Q2 what is better for base? Gravel or packing sand. And why? Thanks
Hi, where do you get your turf? Im in Long Beach. Can you recommend an affordable place in the area? Please 🙏 I wasnt able to hear the name of the place you mentioned. Thank you 🙏
I love to watch videos on something I plan on doing soon I will be watching a few more videos I learn a little bit from watching a few videos before I start doing my back yard so thank you for this video
I'm considering artificial turf for a 2 feet by 25 foot area that runs along side my house. The dirt, bushes, dampness has rotted the house shingles because it doesn't get alot of sunlight and the cement shingles goes down to the earth. How much would it cost and what happens to the water when it rains? Does it sit on the artificial turf? I assume it needs to be pitched away from the house. When it rains alot will the rain then go onto the sidewalk which is another problem because I live in the northeast where it gets cold and the water will freeze on the sidewalk and make it a trip hazard. I've salted in the past with snow, ice but eventually too much salt ruins the concrete. Thanks.
I recommend using washed limestone. I’m in Illinois where it’s easily found, not sure about West Coast. It prop costs more. We just installed Shaw Sports Turf for our Sports court. Now, I’m looking for for uses for the leftovers. Thanks for your great vids.
What's the name of the place where you got the artificial turf? Sorry, but I couldn't understand what you said. I'll be calling you later this year as we need concrete work done. TY!

Did you rent a leveller? And what did you purchase and rent if you don’t mind me asking
How many square ft?
