Artificial Turf Installation Procedure
Artificial Turf installation is an involved process that is best left to landscape professionals such as San Diego Home Turf’s team of experienced installers. The outcome of your artificial turf installation greatly depends on the turf product being installed to conform to exacting specifications of base, correct product choice for a particular application, infill (if required), seaming materials and work performed by skilled craftsman who specialize in the trade of installing artificial grass lawns or putting greens. Water rebates for landscaping with artificial grass are available in many areas in San Diego County. Water districts are encouraging the replacement of sod or real grass which consumes so much of our water, with synthetic grass by paying for part of your artificial turf installation – making your synthetic lawn project more affordable for you.
Our typical San Diego artificial grass lawn installation starts by capping any existing sprinkler heads, which is the beginning of big water bill savings for you. Next we remove the sod (or whatever is existing in the area currently), which will save you money on landscaping and mowing. If necessary, San Diego Home Turf Synthetic Grass Lawns will spray a weed killer or use a weed barrier mesh before we proceed to make the sub-base below the turf. We then dump and spread the appropriate type of aggregate which can be a mixture of, or only ¼-inch minus decomposed granite rock, ½ or 3/4 inch rock to build the proper base which water drains through much better than a natural soil lawn. We use a mixture of bigger rock and decomposed granite in areas that require more dramatic grading or filling. The big rock goes down first, is compacted to approximately 90% compaction, then the smaller decomposed granite goes on top of that which fills in the little crevices between the big rock and forms matrix which is very solid and allows for exceptional drainage.
After we have compacted this aggregate to very exacting specifications so the artificial turf will have the necessary grade and look perfectly smooth we begin the artificial turf preparation. The synthetic turf is unrolled and we power broom the synthetic grass fibers up to create a more natural multi-directional appearance and prepare the fake grass fibers for the infill (if necessary) to be worked down to the bottom of the turf fibers. The synthetic grass is then placed where it will stay and seams are made where necessary. We then shape around trees, rocks and borders before stretching and securing the artificial turf to it’s final resting place. Now we power broom the rubber/sand or any of the three infill products of your choice deep into the San Diego synthetic grass lawn fibers using a bigger ratio of rubber to sand than other synthetic turf brands on the market which gives San Diego Home Turf Artificial Grass a more natural feel and better bounce.
And when we’re finished with our part, all you have to do is enjoy the San Diego weather and your beautiful synthetic grass lawn, or maintenance free artificial putting green. While San Diego Home Turf Synthetic Grass doesn’t require routine maintenance you will need to clean it periodically to maintain its appearance. Depending on how your lawn is used and whether or not you have a pet, you may need to wash your lawn more or less often. See our turf maintenance Section.
