That ponytail is the real hero in this video
Didn’t know it was this much work glad I watched the video first 😂
I’m overwhelmed just at the amount of ppl 🥲🤦🏽♂️😂
Very informative just had no idea it would take so many steps but that's why it looks good because it's done the right way. thanks
Good instructional video. Well explained, in clear language. PS: Always thought the weed barrier goes under the sub-base, not on top.
Very Helpful! Was able to install my grass myself, looks great. Thanks for making this
Anything that this video didn't cover that is important ?
It’s was easy as installing carpet
I would dig a small trench around the border and put some battens in, 4x2 or even 3x2. Wackaplate your ground down nice and firm then do a final skim over to level off make sure it's nice and firm & level... THEN put your membrane down & turf it and nail your turf into the battens. The battens will hold the nails better and because you walk plated the ground down, you don't have to worry about high/low spots in your turf after a year when the rains come in.
This looked like a good DIY for a quick job where you won't see much activity on the grass - but if it's going in the back yard where kids will kick a ball... definitely need to compact that ground!
skip bo treated timber can last as much as 40yrs without rotting
Thanks a lot for the help! I have a small project coming up and this will get me in the right direction.
They liked this video so much they played it twice.
But we still didn't get to see the end result properly.
I played ig nice daugh
🤭🤭🤭🤭🤣🤣🤣
Beautiful work!
Good and best idea for me to do my artificial grass garden. Many thanks.🤩🤩🤩
Good video, watched it twice
thank you so much for your video, super understandable and to the point, awesome
Great video
I will copy that
Thank you
I had deja vu while watching this
What do you mean? What do you mean?
Thank you, will try
Nice work
Best video I found. Thanks
Prob a good idea to spread the blades while nailing. Also it seemed like you were nailing to deep down leaving indents. should always kick out turf first to avoid wrinkles.
well played
You said most of what I was thinking.
@@nicholasbraud1986 😆. It’s customer though who watch these videos. And expect the same steps in person
How is it going to drain if the anti weed immediately underneath ,?
Same way it drains when you put weed barrier under mulch. It’s woven material and breathes
I was planning to put the garden fabric under the gravel and put the artificial turf on top of the gravel. Reason is that I don't want the gravel and underlying soil to mix when it gets too wet. What are the pros/cons?
When I can see wrong with this, and I am not a professional, I am a extreme analytical person. You need a smooth surface 4 the perf to sit on. I would agree with pudding the weed barrier under the layer of rocks and sand, followed by another layer of weed barrier, then topped with the turf. That's just my thinking.🤔
I wouldn’t put pudding on my turf. Sounds yummy but would probably get messy.
I just an artificial grass and just throw. At the backyard. It looks nice even I don’t ba e to do this. It’s a lot of work.
Thank you for the instructions. Roundup is very bad for people and animals! 😮 Use vinegar.
Can we use weed fabric and turb over the pebble base?
I wanted to do this at my lake house. We’re away for weeks at a time sometimes because it’s not my primary residence. The yard is on a slope surrounded by heavy woods. It’s been hard to grow real grass and this past weekend I almost stepped on a snake. So a few months ago I inquired and the yard is tiny and the contractor wanted $28,000 for the job. Insanely over priced. DIY scares me a bit because if I screw it up it’s a massive loss. Any ideas?
I inherited a property with a small sloped garden with artificial grass. The grass is sloped and at the bottom stops against a sleeper along with the rainwater. How can I diy this plz buddy ?
What was the total sq feet of this install? And how much would something like this cost me?
Great job
Funny all the rest of the videos I watched said to spray the dirt with weed killer then lay the weed fabric on top of the dirt after compacting it then put the decomposed crushed granite on top of the fabric & compact that???
What if the area is not flat. My yard has a small hill in the middle
Excellent video, thank you.
Could you repeat that, I missed it the second time 🤣🤣
im rollin!! LOL!
This was great
You got a 10 from len 👍
good pony tail, remind me of hulk Kogan.
😁
I don’t see it in writing, can you send me what you used?
Great video...thanks! Is this turf also good for dogs to go potty on?
If you like brown turf 🤓
Obviously not, that's disgusting
No you’ll need real grass for that.
Actually it is fine just rinse it off with the hose
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.
If you think that it is going to hold dust xcetera because it's above the level of the concrete. If you lower that turf, where do you think the dust and dirt is going to go?
BTW I do not know of any yard where the grass is lower or level to the concrete.
I have the same question. I plan to do a test to see where I think it would create the least amount of tripping hazard and the top of the blades will be above the adjacent walking surfaces, I expect. And this will prevent some of the run off debris from ‘pooling’ along the edges of the lawn. It would be good to keep a ‘natural’ area on one side of a walking surface for those of us who like to blow or sweep debris off the edge, but if this is not possible, I would suggest that a person just use a dust pan and sweep frequently to prevent that build up of debris on the edge of the lawn.
List: weed barrier / fabric; silica sand, shears,
I have hard clay dirt in my area. Can i skip putting a base layer?
i think its an important step for water to drain
Where are you located?😁
I’m confused as to why you would recommend spraying a toxic chemical like roundup, remove 2-3 inches only to lay down a weed barrier. Seems a little counterintuitive
skip bo I see...thank you for the explanation👍
@@Skipbo000 I don't know what you do for a living! But if I was to bet on it, I don't think you install fake turf for a living. The debate that I have with this explanation of yours, that if the turf is laid on cement versus the ground , that it is hotter. What would make it hotter? The sun does not see the cement. The cement is a lighter colour then the ground, therefore not absorbing the heat as well. If you walk on the sidewalk, then take a walk in your garden, which is hotter?
Just need some advice my garden is full of stones and want to put artificial grass down how would I prep please x
@@Skipbo000 yeah but, what about drainage? They say to fill with crusher dust /crushed rock, then sand, then tamp the sand until smooth and hard.
@@bubbleblonde9600 Water should still be able to penetrate with all these steps. This is exactly what I did and it drains into the ground. I also have a rocky yard. The dipper You dig, the more rock. We got a cart and placed hardware cloth in the bottom and dug up the yard 1 shovel at a time. It was ridiculously difficult.
What about water its looks like no access for water
It is artificial turf so it requires no watering!
How’s it keeping up? I have a house being built West of Laveen and can’t decide between artificial grass or the real thing. I’m worried that the turf won’t keep up or get too hot with the sun.
What did you end up choosing?
Barish me kharab toh nhi hogi
Is laying sand on top essential?
You can skip the weed fabric.. nothing will grow under the artificial turf but will 0n the edges if not done correctly.
Doesn't sand attract ants???? Is it a must?
Please provide all items needed?
Roundup NOT an option. It is outlawed in every other country for a good reason.
Where can you buy the tuff at?
I’m looking at turf at Lowe’s. I’m sure Home Depot has it as well.
Looks easy when you have up to six workers laying it down. So what you are actually saying is its not a DIY. Just get professional team in to do it then its very easy.
I did it myself. Was a bit of work and my hands hurt 😂 but it's definitely possible.
You must be a gen z lol😂
@@pfromdapabI’m doing my own and yep genz right here 🙌🏼🙋🏻♀️
No it’s called watch the video and do it yourself 😭
Using six inch nails to hold down membrane?
What kind of cost can I expect to pay including labor for the install outlined in this video?
ill do it for 10 pounds mate
9 pound 50
8 stones
60 yen
Buncha jerks
Shocking install 😂😂
Well done come do my yard
What type of artificial grass did you use?
not him but i work in new construction here in CA and most of them use LITA grass. it blows me away how realistic it is but iv heard that they have problems if you dont water it during the really hot days it may melt
Thank you! Ya I’m in Texas sooooo the heat might be an issue haha!
How to put the sand down without that roller thing? Can I just sprinkle it on the grass? hahaha
So, yes it can be DIY. This many folks working on it, is not DIY. Looks good though. Nice job, just a false title
For what do you put son???
"DIY" I saw about 10 people in this video. It should be called "DIT" Do It Team! What in the clickbait did I just watch?
Good grief! One person can do this "Do It Yourself" project very easily... I did, it just takes a bit longer doing it, just like 99% of all "Do It Yourself" projects do...
If you throw whisky over your real lawn you cut the mowing 50%, because it will come up half cut 😉
Hahaha! 😄😃(Nobody thinks its funny?)
Is that why dogs eat grass!
Nope.. I'm just going to throw it over the existing grass lol.. I have a tiny area I want to put turf.
For being professional, this was horrible. I feel sorry for potential customers not knowing how it’s done, thinking that this is good. The method of compaction here was garbage.
I done my first artificial grass lay for a friend this week 3 inches of type one and 1 inch of granite dust but when I laid the grass I was told to lay it like a carpet using a carpet stretcher glad I did because it will shrink and expand with temperature highs and lows. This guy hasn't explained this so he doesn't actually know how to lay artificial grass to a professional level.
💯 wrong. You definitely can put artificial turf rover concrete, it’s done every single day.
1 mamprane, then cravel.
Ugh...still looks too much like cheap outdoor carpeting.
Mickey mouse
GET A HAIRCUT JESUS! And keep making easy to understand videos for Ogre’s like myself.
It will never ever look natural.

How to make the install look fake. Why is it that every installer fails to understand that real grass has a mow edge to it. So in failing to have any appreciable raised grass edge above the sidewalk or other concrete surface, it looks fake for the simple reason that real grass doesn’t grow at or below the concrete walkway, sidewalk, etc. And then there is “lets make the surface as flat as a billiard table...yeah..that will make the yard look natural, LOL. 90% of installers are blind to these tell tale signs of a fake grass install....I have absolutely no idea why. You want a natural looking install? Install Bend a Board almost level with the concrete surface, then staple the turf to it to give your turf the highest possible profile. And for god’s sake, crown the grade....and don’t cut straight seams. One last point: buying the high priced, really heavy weight dense turf is what creates a far more “carpet” like look then less expensive, lighter weight and less dense turf. Finally, avoid the high priced, dense green turf that’s three shades lighter than every lawn on the block. I wish turf manufactures would offer more of the lighter colored, less perfect, and arguably more realistic looking grass. Its that darker looking grass that just adds to the bad rep artificial turf suffers from.
Artificial grass horrible stuff
Prob a good idea to spread the blades while nailing. Also it seemed like you were nailing to deep down leaving indents. should always kick out turf first to avoid wrinkles.
