The goal behind this complete process is to give yourself a
fairly profound drainage system beneath the carpet so that when water is
applied to it in a tremendous quantity, directly to the
drain system and it flows to the carpet.
Any place where the seam is required with the dog's turf s
really-really profound to take a time, to make sure the edges match up
perfectly. Nailed to the ground such that when the turf is applied to the top of
the glue that would be laid on top of that will stick and create a perfectly
nice seam and, large, white material is laid
down, and then a piece of double-sided.
Identify it and place it in the protective box or cabin of
some sort, if you encounter something that needs to be remained in its
current position, and ultimately you can withal cover it with the turf, and allow
yourself access at the later date .

project done at the Memorial and the quality guide to every step of the
installation process. DrFlorida where GST donated one of our

That would be
about four-inch bed . Once the fill has been removed to a measured grade, the next
step is bringing in number 57 rock. Give yourself at least
six to eight inches of base rock compacted, and
follow it with a concrete screening, you are going to end putting a
concrete screening over the top of this and, and then go over it with a compactor, which is a fine concrete dust, approximate the level, but the very next step is to bring the
rock in. An inexpensive product, here is where you are really want to be an
opposite to thrifty and. That would
be laid on top of the septic drain rock and compacted as well. You want to use a lot of this rock. It's essentially septic drain fill rock
It's.
Once the seam is placed together on top of the glue, carpet
is actually nailed to the ground to guarantee that it stays tight to the seam .
You need to replace it with a
concrete curb, probably a four-inch wide curb 6 or 8 inches deep that allows
you to tack turf to the curb , but where there is nothing. existing paver or walkways that have a concrete edging can be used to
attach the turf. That's where you need to pour a concrete curb to give
yourself that option. You are going to encounter
the places in your project that do not have linear or a hard surface upon which
to attach the turf, during the removal of the fill. It can be used nicely
Even, if you have an existing sidewalk.
Where lots of dogs
are playing at the every day basis, very friendly and although
beautiful, if you already own a dog care facility, you know that systematic turf, it dies from the urine
It, often dies from malady. Gets wet with puddles from rain, and all of
your pets are playing in this , and it turns into a mud bath.

- said Dr. The turf is just made it
wonderful" . We've had absolutely no flooding, "We've been using this product for the improve part of
ten months, and some rain storms have come through that were quite substantial
and. The perception, that they have now of our park is that
it looks like an Augusta National Golf Course, and clients. There are no smell issues at all. "We have large dogs running at high speeds turning on
a dime. It is no falling apart
anywhere. Carpet (artificial grass) is not separating. I am very impressed with Dave Maronic
and his team for providing us this turf for the Drake Memorial because it is
very special thing for us since we have a veterinary hospital, now we have
a Memorial Park that is absolutely spectacular and.
The
details make all the difference . Trimming and, and that's indispensable, as always during this process there will be a lot of
clipping, and edging things impeccable.
There is actually quite a lot to this first stage of
removing the fill that is there. Cables, electrical wires, antennas, so you must be careful because of the
sprinkler pipes, water lines, whatever
might be in the ground. You need to be very careful and identify all those
things. If there are sprinkler zones, so you don't have to dig it
physically up to get to it , they need to be relocated outside of the
perimeter of where the turf is going to be laid.
And as an installer you must pay an extra
attention to details , the backing
of this product has no stitch lines, designed for an immaculate drainage. And some of it needs special care during the installation, global Syn-Turf produces more than 65 different lines of artificial
grass. The good
example of it is our Pet Grass 85.
And this is a very profound step because the carpet needs to be rolled
out, so the grain matches anywhere you seam it. Coastal Synthetic Turf has some technicians that were
able to make the seams completely invisible. The company that worked
for us did a fantastic job. So the carpet is laid out in its
approximate location as the first step and trimmed to fit the location . Tamping it down and
doing all the prepping that needs to be done and Once you finished placing the rock, the next step is roll out the
carpet. And end up with a good seam, you can't turn the carpet
perpendicular to itself.
Below is the full transcript .
Heavy bags of
sand are laid across a scene to make sure they are hold up together , once the seams are completely finished, large.
And then it's brushed very
aggressively with a broom to settle into the carpet . To keep it from fluffing around, and the final stage is to apply sand in quantity to weigh
carpet down.
And this part is
very critical . Compacting the septic drain rock as well as the concrete
screening is the critical part for this, needs to be done very carefully
and very meticulously and. Tamp it down and you do
the same thing, the rock should be moistened with water and tamped as a
wet rock, once the septic drain rock is tamped down, you
are going to lay this four and five inches of concrete screen on top and, and, ultimately. It will be surface, but very permeable surface
when you finished. Around any objects that might be left behind
trees, the like sometimes can be in the middle of your project and, you want to take excess care to make sure the details are
done correctly on the curb edge. You want to
cut around those trees and put some formed curb around them.
Once you are committed to the idea that you are going to
spend the money to have your natural turf replace with an fake turf, the
very first step is to withdraw the existing material that's in your park. So you end up
with a space that can then be packed with the drain rock, up to 8, maybe even 10 inches of fill, other products and, suggestion is to take out, and so

be playing in the park.
