So how does it work when it rains? In the video it kind of looks like the concrete is at an angle so that would be sufficient from making puddles, but what if your concrete is on a flat surface? And if your concrete is at an angle, when it does rain, wouldnt all that sand just wash off underneath? Because it is technically on a smooth surface?
What’s the purpose of spraying triple washed sands and also when the turf gets dirty or too dusty, is there a way to clean them? Can we hose them down?
My brother has in in his back garden and has 2 dogs. He cleans it with disinfectant daily and a hose. Jet washes it about 2 times a year for a deep clean.
What is the border at the sidewalk edge? Looks like metal... something to stop the edge from fraying / coming up in that high-traffic area. I am looking to put grass on my driveway, but trying to figure out the best solution to transition from sidewalk to grass on driveway. Thanks.
Shame! Actually this is a problem to install directly to concrete without prepping for any drainage. When it rains, the water collects, and does not run off the concrete. The turf holds in the moisture, and the turf stays soggy for days or weeks, depending on how much sun it gets, in order to dry out. This leads to fungus, mold and mildew!!!! You should saw cut the concrete creating drainage channels and/ or drill many 3/4" holes through the concrete to the sub surface below the concrete.
I saw someone install some type of grid below the artificial grass. Does that help ? I can imagine that this artificial grass is the same like having a carpet outside and when it rains it retains so much moisture
hi i want to lie artificial grass down on top of concreate is there a under lining i need to put down first, cause i lied down artificial grass squares and when it rained it was really wet when i lifted them there was worms under them and the ground was soaking even though the grass has drainage holes in them
If lying on flat concrete than air drainers should be applied which is a kind of underlay with Square air holes.... This keeps the artificial grass slightly off the concrete and allow the rainwater underneath it to evaporate easier so that you won't have wet artificial grass for weeks on end.... Ideally also drill some holes on the concrete so that most of the rainwater doesn't sit on the concrete floor for long.
The sand is used to add dimensional stability, ad well as keep the grass weighed down. The sand also helps the blades to stand up. You should add between 1 and 2 pounds/sf of #7 SILICA SAND.
NOT ENOUGH ADHESIVE WAS APPLIED ON PERIMETER AND SEAM. THE SEAM WAS NOT CUT CORRECTLY AND THE CUTTING PROCESS SHOULD BE FROM THE BACK. THERE WAS NO EVEN SAND APPLIED AND NO POWER BROOM WITH BRUSH HEAD ON MACHINE? I AM NOT SURE IF THIS A DIY VIDEO OR A PROFESSIONALS??? HAPPY TO GIVE ADVISE. FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME. THANKS...
HI, CAN YOU HELP ME PLEASE.... I AM LAYING SOME ARTIFICIAL GRASS IN THE MIDDLE OF MY GARDEN, MY GARDEN IS CONCRETE SLABS SO I WILL BE LAYING IT ON THAT. DO YOU HAVE AN ADHESIVE YOU RECOMMEND?

What’s the purpose of spraying triple washed sands and also when the turf gets dirty or too dusty, is there a way to clean them? Can we hose them down?
Mostly for weight.
I'd definitely be doing this when I move to my own house. Can you please post all the tools you used?
That would be really helpful
Great idea for my outdoor area, looks like a project in the making.
Thanks for the helpful video
What about rain water?
I DO NOT GET IT WHY THEY POSTED A VIDEO WHEN U WONT BE ABLE TO ANSWERS QUESTION?
What about pet urine? I have a front yard that’s all concrete, and I am concerned about the urine crystallizing and dealing with a permanent bad odor.

Theres no drainage in that and underlay , so it will be hard , have puddles when it rains and not last ?
What type of compound material did you guys use to glue the turf to concrete?
Nice job guys, top class finish.
Yon are soooooo good at this. 🤩
Would you not put underlay under the grass?
Everyone has his own ways. This is just one way
Why put sand?
What glue are you using
What about drain?

The concrete isn’t completely flat, so the water will flow thru the lower side . I use the same method in my side yard.
Good idea damn

What type of glue?
Would it be ok to have this on a tiled balcony?
Yes
Where is the prep work in this video?
Yeah looks like real grass now.
What kind of glue do you use?
Roberts 6700 👍

thought i was at night club
Will the sand not work on slopes?
They don't reply... I guess that grass is already gone after some problem with maintenance and rain.
Do i need any weed membrane/underlays?
For outdoor use, which adhesive would you recommend? Roberts 6700 / Henry 663? Or stronger?
Steve Big stronger
Roberts 6700 👍
what is the sand for?
Did you ever find out what the sand was for?
+Kel Green so it looks more realistic
The sand is used to add dimensional stability, ad well as keep the grass weighed down. The sand also helps the blades to stand up. You should add between 1 and 2 pounds/sf of #7 SILICA SAND.
Im a renter would this work if i need to remove it after?
It will leave residue
Can you recommend me someone who can install artificial turf in orange county CA?
Did you find someone?
Excellent

why you shouting ?
Advice.

What is the purpose of the sand?
Super
This is not the correct way to install turf. Especially with the seam
Could I use this for an outdoor basketball court?
Crijen Crayon why would you put grass on a basketball court?
Crijen Crayon who pits grass on a 🏀 court? Smh
Maybe he dosnt want to use it as a basketball court any more.
step 1: wrong
Ok job for amateurs. But if they’re “pros” lol no way
Looks more like carpet than grass. I've seen more realistic artificial grass.
Super
