Optional Tools for Installing Synthetic Grass

Pickaxe – A pickaxe can be helpful for removing stumps and stones when tearing up your old lawn.

Dump trailer – When removing your existing lawn and base, soil can build up quickly! For that reason, we recommend having a dump trailer on sight, if possible. This will greatly help with getting rid of your existing lawn, which needs to be disposed of according to local regulations. 

Class II road base – We recommend using class ii road base to create a level base with proper drainage. Alternatively, you can smooth and wet your existing soil for your base.

Seam tape – If you’re working with multiple rolls of turf, you can use seam tape to secure different pieces together. 

Spackle – If you choose to secure your turf with seam tape and glue, you can use spackle to spread the glue. 

Infill – Infill is the gritty, sand-like material that keeps your artificial turf standing straight. It can consist of a number of materials, including silica sand, volcanic ash, rubber crumb, and more!

Gopher wire – By laying a mesh covering under your turf, you can prevent gophers from digging up your new lawn.

Weed barrier fabric – You may want to add a weed barrier to prevent vegetation from sprouting through your new lawn. Weed barrier is NOT recommended if you have pets.
