How to Install Decon’s Synthetic Grass

1. Clear all the weeds, existing grass and plant material from the area. If you want to use equipment to make the job easier, use a sod cutter instead of a tiller; a tiller can disturb dormant weed seeds and create more of an issue down the road.

If you use a nonselective herbicide to kill off the existing lawn or weeds, use it responsibly and according to the package directions to avoid harming nearby plant material. Whichever method you choose, clear the area several days before installing your synthetic turf to make sure you've thoroughly completed this important first step.
2. Add a 2- to 4-inch layer of crushed aggregate, such decomposed granite (DG), over the entire area to create positive drainage underneath the synthetic artificial grass. Consider your finished grade (the height of the ground) in these early steps to determine if further excavation of the area is necessary. You don't want your installed artificial grass to sit higher than the surrounding area. Once you've spread the aggregate, use a water sod roller to flatten and level this base.

3. Install a 15- to 25-year weed barrier over the aggregate base, securing it with landscape staples (available at most home improvement centers). This is an important step — the last thing you want is weeds springing up through your new "lawn." Use the best-quality weed barrier fabric you can find, as lesser-quality fabrics do not perform as well over time.
4. Roll your Decon’s artificial grass turf out to the area measurements. If you are using several pieces over a large area, be sure the pieces are all laid out with the blades going in the same direction. This attention to detail will make your finished product look more professional and polished. Cut the turf to fit your area using a carpet knife or a box cutter.
5. Seam the pieces together using 4 to 6 inches of indoor-outdoor carpet seaming tape according to the package directions, or use 6-inch landscape staples. Attach the turf to the aggregate base with 6-inch galvanized nails placed ½ to 1 inch in from the edge of the synthetic artificial grass turf and every 4 to 6 inches along the perimeter of the turf. Start on one side so you can pull the synthetic artificial turf tightly on the other side.
6. Apply an infill material (such as #30 sandblasting sand) with a drop spreader at a rate of 2 pounds per square foot. Sandblasting sand has been tumbled to remove sharp edges and has no harmful dust to inhale. After spreading the infill material, use a soft- to medium-bristled push broom to work infill into the synthetic artificial grass turf, working against the grain of the artificial turf. Brush evenly and with precision, getting the infill to the base of the artificial turf fibers.
