You will need approximately 1.5 lbs of infill for every square foot of turf. This amount will vary according to variety of infill being used and desired appearance of blade exposure.
Place the infill material in the hopper of the spreader and set at about a five on the gauge (or medium open) on the hopper. This opening size will allow for a fair amount of infill to get into the fibers of the turf. Walk slowly behind the spreader allowing the infill to spread evenly on the turf. Generally, you will spread about 1/2 lb of infill per pass with the spreader. In between spreading the layers of infill, brush the turf fibers upright with a stiff bristled industrial broom or a power broom.
Do not "dump" the infill in large quantities on the turf, as it will be very difficult to get an even infill distribution, and you may bury the blades. The install nails should be spaced every 6-12 inches 1-inch away from the seam edges or as needed.
Also available in size 5x18 Feet

How You Can Join Artificial Turf

Sphere Turf SRD7512 Synthetic Turf Optima, 7-1/2-Foot by 12-Foot
Sphere Turf Optima
 On a hard surface, lay the two rolls of turf side by side, green side up as this will help you to decide where they need to be joined. The "grain" from each roll of putting turf  needs to be going in the same direction. Once you have found the seam, flip each roll over so the black side is up. Take a utility knife  and cut between the first and second row of stitching of the turf. Be careful not to cut into the stitching.
Repeat for the second roll. Cutting between the rows will help give you a tight join for your putting green.

Flip the putting green back over so that the green is facing up. Make sure the seam fits cleanly together and is tight for the full length of the seam. Once you are satisfied with the seam, move the pieces of turf to your sub-base.

Now place  the pieces of turf together on the sub-base to form a tight seam. Place the seaming strip on the sub-base under the seam. Make sure there is an equal amount of seaming strip on each side of the seam. Spread the adhesive over the entire area of the seaming strip and allow the adhesive to set up to 5 minutes before placing the turf on the seam. Make sure the thickness of the adhesive is no more than 1/8".

Now begin to fold the pieces of turf back together. Press the seam in place as you go starting at one end and working to the other end. Apply pressure to so that you have good contact. Once the seam has been put together, walk over the joined area several times without actually walking on the seam.

You will need to allow about an hour for it to cure before you finish installing your artificial turf.

If you are using Foam Backed Turf it is recommended that you don't cut it yourself but that you take it to a professional who can cut it for you.

"Artificial Lawns"! A Guide to Installing It Yourself.


Premium Synthetic Turf. Size 6' X 10', 46oz. Rubber Backed with Drainage Holes.Are you considering the possibility of installing an artificial lawn for your home?  Here is a guide to how an artificial lawn is installed.
 Synthetic lawns should last 15 to 20 years. It is important that the installation process and materials are of the highest quality and that you know the proper procedure to install your artificial lawn.

Here are the procedures for installing an artificial lawn.
  • 1. Excavation: First excavate the area to a depth of 3 ½ to 4 inches. If you are going to use a contractor, removing the soil should also be part of the installation cost. If you do not need any excavation, a per square foot price reduction should apply.
  • 2. Bender Board Installation: Install a bender board that should measure  3 ½ by 1½, not 3 ½ by ¾  around the entire perimeter. This provides a secure edge  to staple the grass to. Galvanized staples placed at three inch intervals should be used.  Use plastic stakes, not wooden stakes to secure the bender board in place as  the wooden stakes will rot over time and the bender board may capsize, ruining your lawn.
  • 3. Substrate Installation:  Use crushed granite that is raked out and compacted to 100% compaction. This provides excellent drainage for your lawn. The crushed granite should be installed in such a way that there is a slight crown in the middle which insures proper water run-off.
  • 4. The Turf:  Artificial lawns are basically large carpeted areas. The synthetic grass comes in 15’ rolls and has a variety of backings.
  • 5. Artificial Lawn Installation: Roll out the artificial lawn and install it with some of the same tools that a carpet layer uses. Cut and fit the lawn to the designated area  using a carpet knifes and carpet kickers.  Staple the perimeter  in place with a pneumatic staple gun and galvanized staples.  Anchor  the area in the middle in place with six inch galvanized foundation spikes placed at one foot centers. T
  • 6. Blooming: Once the lawn is in place,  use power brooms to ‘bloom’ the fibers to get them to stand up straight. If you have purchased a no-fill product, this is the final step. If not, you will need to fill in between the blades with sand and a top coat of rubber granules made from recycled tires.
Once your lawn is installed, the only tools you will need to maintain it is a nylon rake  and perhaps a leaf blower.
