What you need to know about DIY artificial turf
When starting a DIY artificial turf project, preparation is key. Here’s a list of what you’ll need:
- High-quality artificial turf: Luxe Turf’s synthetic grass is engineered to look and feel like natural grass, with superior UV resistance and durability.
- Compactor: Essential for creating a smooth, even surface before laying your turf.
- Turf cutting machine: For accurate, clean cuts, ensuring your turf fits perfectly within your space.
- Shovel, spade, and broom: For ground preparation and cleanup.
- Hammer, measuring tape, and spirit level: To ensure your turf is laid evenly and securely.
- Utility knife and adhesive joining tape: For precise trimming and seamless joins between turf sections.
- Synthetic turf infill sand: Helps to anchor the turf and keep the blades standing upright, contributing to a natural look.
- Turf pegs: To secure the edges of the turf, preventing movement over time.
Extra tips for installation
- Ground preparation: Start by removing any existing grass or debris and ensure the soil is compacted and level. This will prevent any lumps or bumps from showing through your turf.
- Drainage: Good drainage is vital to prevent water from pooling under your artificial turf. Ensure your base layer includes materials like crushed rock or gravel to facilitate proper drainage.
- Edges: Use turf pegs to secure the edges of your turf firmly. This prevents any lifting or movement over time, particularly in high-traffic areas.
- Regular maintenance: While artificial turf is low-maintenance, occasional brushing will help keep the fibres upright and looking fresh. Regularly removing debris will also prolong the life of your turf.
