Artificial Turf Installation Guide

A practical guide for buyers and contractors covering base preparation, drainage, seam handling, edge fixing, brushing, and common installation mistakes.

1. Check the Site and Drainage

Before installation, confirm whether the surface can move water away. Poor drainage causes odor, surface movement, and reduced service life. Concrete, rooftop, and balcony installations may need drainage paths or additional drainage matting.

2. Prepare a Stable Base

For soil areas, remove loose material and prepare a compacted aggregate base. A flat, stable, and slightly sloped base helps the grass sit evenly and prevents dips after use.

3. Lay, Trim, and Join Rolls

Rolls should be laid in the same pile direction for consistent color. Trim edges carefully and use suitable seam tape or adhesive. Poor seam alignment is one of the most visible installation problems.

4. Fix Edges and Brush Fibers

Secure edges according to the site condition. After installation, brush the fibers upright. For high-traffic projects, scheduled brushing helps reduce flattening.

Common Mistakes

  • Ignoring drainage before installation.
  • Mixing rolls in different pile directions.
  • Choosing pile height only by appearance, not traffic level.
  • Using harsh chemicals or high heat for cleaning.
