Watched one or two videos on this subject, this seemed to me to be the best as it is straightforward and seems to deal with all the necessary basics with good clear narration.
Excellent video. One question: how low should be the bottom of the artificial turf compared to the deck? I mean, if it's the same level, the grass leaves would be about 3cm above the deck and I think it would hold dust and everything else that comes from the deck. But if it's about 3cm lower, people could stumb on the deck. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks mate. I’m using Astro turf for my child minding business and so far I’m finding so much easier & helpful. Great video; very informative and helpful!
i dont know where to start... but i will just mention the seem , slightly wider tape would be better , and the glue should go across from side to side , if the tape rips in half , the carpet will lift , and nails? on a seem ? would you let your kids run bare foot in there ? nailed into the ground? how long will it hold ?
Might be a lot more work than you thought but if it makes it last say 10 more years then its well worth it.. Done a nice job, i dont normally like artificial grass but I'm actually thinking of having it now... No more pissin mowing 😊👍
I used to be a carpet fitter, fitted this onto playgrounds, and even to a indoor swimming pool, and when I left and got a driving job my new boss asked me to go to Wales and fit it around his carvan on the decking, so I took the wife and my son, he gave me a week to do the job, I finished it in 3 days.
Fantastic... thanks so much for this video well I see a few men doing this but I'll be doing it on my own I hope my back doesn't give out... I've had too many bad experiences with cowboy builders.. if it takes me a week I will do it.. looking forward to spring !
@@missionDan Not always true. I have worked for a few contractors and those guys who charges alot also cut alot of corners. I got fed up one day after my last boss screwed me over on a ticket caused by his trailer having a bad light. He said he wasnt responsible so I took my last pay and started on my own. Customers shouldnt always pick the lowest bid but they should also be weary of those fast talkers from big companies.
Great video thanks for sharing! Quick question please......I am doing my back garden and I have the 'back end' of a fence (ie fence post showing). Do you put wooden frame against (in front of post) or in between the posts? What do you think would look better?? I am unsure?? TIA
It helps keep the grass weighed down better overall (especially around the edges where it was applied heavier). Also as you brush or rake it in, the sand will help the pile stand upright rather than flat, which wont look very nice.
Synthetic or artificial turf can be a great option for landscape areas where turf maintenance and growth is difficult. Now after watching this i am thinking to install it in my lawn soon.
Ooops. Already bought me grass. Didn't realise it needed all this prep underneath. Was just gonna wack a bit of black weed sheet on top of the soil first 😫
The council would have to disconnect the posts electrical supply and reconnection Tgis person would be held chargeable for this as they have altered the ground. But sure tgis is just a promotional video
@@ryanzanna I just wouldn't buy a property that has a council light in the garden. That's the problem with these new estates, no thought gone into them.
They dont like that, I've installed false grass a few times, you need to make a timber border around the perimeter of the area and around obstructions and then tack the edges down to that.
Use a stapling gun to hold down the lawn ...and lathwood edges sat on a wet mix ...joints will come apart using a solvent.... staple them together over lathwood coated in bitumen
Sttm35 the white fabric is anti weedmembrane. It allows water through but block UV so weeds can't grow. The backing on the grass is a mesh so lots of little holes to let rain through.
What is the recommendation on the cut out for the tree so it will continue to grow? I'm thinking about doing this but around my flowerbed and need to know cutouts for shrubs. TIA!
They did this hella wrong to so..... Its suppose to 2 Inches of drain rock and 2-3 of decomposed Granite for the turf I use a stabilizer to harden the area and have a tighter grab on the nail. Once turf is installed I apply 1-2 Lbs of sand per sq ft.
leo Gracia that is incorrect. You actually only need 2 inches compacted of class 1 breeze or crusher fines. Any other road base in unnecessary and a waist of money.
was thinking of doing this until I watched this vid, why cant you just lay it down like carpet? I have a decked area that is rotten, just want to cover it up.
Some people make silly observations about the plastic, the food of the cows etc etc but the true this system in the cities would save a lot of gas water and less chemicals in the earth to me it seems fantastic but it is somewhat expensive
its public space. that post looks to be positioned around 1.5 - 2 meters (at 0:19) from the street curb stone. normally, that's where the sidewalk would be. so no way in hell can it be in his garden. I think he is "growing" his garden in public spaces.
With the greatest respect planet earth needs grass over plastic. So many organisms are affected when there is no natural habitat.And how do you get rid of this in 20yrs? Not a fan myself.Humans are getting lazy keeping a good lawn is a skill and keeps you fit.The plant grass is excellent in the summer.
Royce, I think it`s more about providing microhabitats with real lawns. So many animals use lawns as a habitat and food source. Also we must think about plastic degrading over time and getting into the soil and therefore eventually the food chain. As a landscape contractor I really try to convince customers to go for real lawns.
MrSmid888 It’s impossible anymore to keep a nice lawn. With the banning of weed killers that actually work, lawns have become 70% weeds & hand weeding large properties is impossible.
Wow! The difference between a professional installation and how we did it.
This was awesome. Perfect installation with underlay sand and cleaned to perfection.
I must be mad to stick with my current lawn.
What a time to be alive....
Watched one or two videos on this subject, this seemed to me to be the best as it is straightforward and seems to deal with all the necessary basics with good clear narration.
I had no idea it was so much effort. I thought it would be just like carpet. Roll it out and that's it :)
Same
It is on a level concrete bass ,my daughter just laid it on the top it looks fine.

Very well done brother, great video, Thanks
Does the artificial grass once laid soak up rain or moisture to any extent? Looks good.. Surprised the lamppost is there..
i dont know where to start... but i will just mention the seem , slightly wider tape would be better , and the glue should go across from side to side , if the tape rips in half , the carpet will lift , and nails? on a seem ? would you let your kids run bare foot in there ? nailed into the ground? how long will it hold ?
I agree u clips are great the top of them are coloured green to blend in and stronger done my friends stunning
This is perfect for rentals and investment properties or for your own home... seems low-cost maintenance... Awesome!
Great sharing👌👌👍👍🎉🎉
Well that was more complicated than I imagined.
Me too. Never thought so much was involved.
Doom Guy a lot of work but worth it for best result my neighbour copied mine, paid more and sold their house first 😂😂

I have a very bad lawn that’s nearly all mud or patchy grass, can I just lay it straight over that or will it still have to come up?
What is the sub base that you use ?
Do you have to add more sand if you get a thunderstorm and it washes the sand away?
5:20...What does the orange looking sand do for the fake grass? Thanks.

great video just helped me right out i’m laying mine tomoz
What is the purpose of the sand on top of the turf?
will it be moistured eventually？
Hi.just wondering Why do you need to brush it up at the end with the sand ?
to stick the artifical grass, my nails wont stick to the artifical grass which underneath has sharpsand and subbase (type 1) compacted. Any advise?
What kind of box cutter is that you use to hammer the nail
This video is Much better than home depot video great work... amazing
Amazing. A job well done. All steps applied.
What are you nailing into?
So easy..😂😭 perfect video, thanx for sharing👍
Very helpful video. Thank you
How much approximately did that particular job cost inc all materials and Labour ?
Hi sir, Thank you for the video! (It was very helpful)
Quick question: Why sand have to be applied after the installation above the turf?
It helps keep the grass weighed down better overall (especially around the edges where it was applied heavier). Also as you brush or rake it in, the sand will help the pile stand upright rather than flat, which wont look very nice.
Fitfreek any sand is ok ? Play sand ?
Robert Balderas kiln dried sand is what you need
Synthetic or artificial turf can be a great option for landscape areas where turf maintenance and growth is difficult. Now after watching this i am thinking to install it in my lawn soon.
Excellent video.
Approximately how much would a full install be on an area this size?
check this video to get more information about Lawn Artificial Grass? th-cam.com/users/shorts2ph0dswhUjM
Although I'm never gonna do this I actually really enjoyed it,but did I miss the reason why you put sand all over the lawn?
The sand regulates temperature and also helps keep the blades of grass upright in cold weather
@@MAADMO thanks
what's the final layers of sand for?
To absorb dog shit Hahaha😭😭
bigcrispyhied It’s actually to help the blades of grass stand up tall & not lay flat, as they take the sand through it at the end.
Very interest video about Artificial Grass Installation
Amazing job!! What’s that attachment called on the strimmer?
Do u still have to cut it once a year and what about watering?
Whats the purpose of klin sand to apply on artificial grass
Ooops. Already bought me grass. Didn't realise it needed all this prep underneath. Was just gonna wack a bit of black weed sheet on top of the soil first 😫
get a whacker plate some fine gravel and weed membrane, edging is'nt 100% necessary
Wow that was a great job. Well done.
And twelve months later the council decide to put in a new lamp post and rip up the turf.
The council would have to disconnect the posts electrical supply and reconnection
Tgis person would be held chargeable for this as they have altered the ground.
But sure tgis is just a promotional video
@@ryanzanna I just wouldn't buy a property that has a council light in the garden. That's the problem with these new estates, no thought gone into them.
Do they always do that?
Explain how the nails work as it appears you were hammering the nails into the soil?
They dont like that, I've installed false grass a few times, you need to make a timber border around the perimeter of the area and around obstructions and then tack the edges down to that.
Amazi g if only mine had turned out half as good or even a quater
For what do you put san ?
Good video, but may I ask why the top layer of sand
Weight
Use a stapling gun to hold down the lawn ...and lathwood edges sat on a wet mix ...joints will come apart using a solvent.... staple them together over lathwood coated in bitumen
I got two questions: (1) Why did you lay the white fabric underneath?, (2) How good is the artificial grass as far as letting rainwater through?
+Sttm35 He says in the video 'weed membrane'. That should give you a clue ;)
Rainwater drains through fine
Sttm35 the white fabric is anti weedmembrane. It allows water through but block UV so weeds can't grow.
The backing on the grass is a mesh so lots of little holes to let rain through.
Great job
Que es la arena que le echan, para que sirve
What is the recommendation on the cut out for the tree so it will continue to grow?
I'm thinking about doing this but around my flowerbed and need to know cutouts for shrubs. TIA!
A very efficient and informative video presentation. Muchas gracias!
the sand is silica sand, right?
In 5 years the methods have changed so much
Is it recyclable?
What is the kill/dry sand for? (at the end of the video)
it weighs the grass down so it doesnt blow away
it's kiln dried. lol
Not only for adding weight but to keep the blades of grass standing straight up even after someone walks on it.
I also wanna know what happens to that sand if it rains
i think it gets wet?
What's the purpose of the sand at the end?
unknown astro turf how to lay it down
Provides stability and protects the turf, so no wrinkles or folds develop throughout the use. Also it makes it more fire resistant.
What is the benefit of this step? In 05:23 ?
IKR
how much does it cost to have this done?
How much would something like this cost
What's the price on all that materials for that size area?
I wish they come and do my garden
...and what's the sand for?
Hiroshi13 to make you feel like your at the beach 😂😂😂😂😂
Well explained 👍
And where there is a nobstickle
Why 5 layers of sand over the grass?
How much is all that sand? Be expensive I didn’t bother when I did mine and it’s fine
i put my on top of the grass just had a weed sheet ,the grass and weeds die quiet quick lol .
Was that patch of grass too big for someone to maintain?
It is when you have krimpets and pinky pointing out while drinking tea.
Holly COW! I thought you can just lay the turf right onto the dirt..and FINISH! haha Talk about hella layers
They did this hella wrong to so..... Its suppose to 2 Inches of drain rock and 2-3 of decomposed Granite for the turf I use a stabilizer to harden the area and have a tighter grab on the nail. Once turf is installed I apply 1-2 Lbs of sand per sq ft.
leo Gracia that is incorrect. You actually only need 2 inches compacted of class 1 breeze or crusher fines. Any other road base in unnecessary and a waist of money.
When you say granit stone can it be sharp sand
If it could they would've said so..

Why kiln dried sand after install of grass?
Awesome video. Thanks so much for this.
Hi THere.
Can i use your demonstration video for marketing purpose?
Nirav Patel hi. No sorry
thats a very good video, i do turfing and often get asked to do astro turf, , it looks much harder then trufing, but still nice to know
If you like the artificial grass making machine, pls contact with me by whatsapp/imo+8613708972696, or email: info@suliao-jixie.com
How can i get that gang in the video to do my garden.
Who knows what’s the name of that machine that removing the grass ?
se si può mettere sul pavimento già coi mattoni
looks great. But definitely not your average DIY job! hire a pro folks!!
how did i go from videos on how beautiful an unmowed lawn can to be people straight up destroying a lawn and replacing it with plastic?
I need this done for my backyard. Do you give consultations for this work? I need it done for the end of April.
Nice job - how much?
Do you still need to cut it? If so, how often?
Yeh but can you smoke it?
would have used a carpet knee tool to stretch the turf to ensure no ridges and put more nails in
was thinking of doing this until I watched this vid, why cant you just lay it down like carpet? I have a decked area that is rotten, just want to cover it up.
+Ric Lyons yes u can just glue it down and some screws to hold it down
I did that . Every few weeks I got to lift up the carpet though and remove all the weeds coming through. Then fresh again.
@@quickvids3206 I am just putting weed barrier cloth under mine as I already have an old compacted level ground. I will infill with sand though.
Some people make silly observations about the plastic, the food of the cows etc etc but the true this system in the cities would save a lot of gas water and less chemicals in the earth to me it seems fantastic but it is somewhat expensive
From the future San Jose Comifornia . The cheapest artificial grass . $12000 US for 25 × 35 installed.
Amazing
