1. DIY ARTIFICIAL GRASS PERTH DESIGN AND PLANNING

Since you looking for the right way to DIY artificial grass in Perth installation, you have landed at the right place. let’s begin first thing first “preparation” cannot this emphasize enough. Preparation is the main the key element of the final result of your artificial grass installation .As good old Aussie saying” devil is in the details”. Planning is the main key to the perfect execution of the job as I will explain step by step how to install artificial grass in Perth Western Australian soil conditions. let’s dive straight into it.

2. PREP BEFORE-DEMOLITION

Before the demolition can commence, all utilities (electrical, gas, water, etc.) including all sprinklers must be properly located to eliminate unnecessary problems. Depending on the preference, the sprinkler system can be capped for use at a later point in time, or we can completely remove it altogether. Any additions or changes to the existing utilities must be accounted for at this time.

 

3. DEMOLITION

A bobcat (where applicable) should be used to demolish your existing soft-scape and/or hardscape surface. In areas where the bobcat cannot access, or if a bobcat is not necessary, other demolition tools be used to remove the hardscape and/or soft-scape. Saw-cutting may be necessary along areas where the foundation is protruding into the usable space in the front, back or side yard areas.

4. EXCAVATION

Excavate 100 to 110 mm from the final grade.all depends on what type of artificial grass installation require.lets just say if you want to drive a car on artificial grass it requires a different type of base to support the white of the car.in this case we will remove 100 or 110 mm dirt and install 50 mm of road base and 50 mm of blue metal dust Aussie slang “cracker dust “.normel foot traffic 65 mm blue metal dust is more than enough.as shown in the video below

5. GRADING & DRAINAGE

At this point, if drains need to be installed, this is the time to do so as well as account for proper water-flow away from your Building.

6. INSTALL BORDER (lINK EDGING OPTIONAL)DIY

For aesthetics and structural integrity of the perimeter, install garden edging.Garden bed around the outside of your project, where-ever we are butting up against soft-scape surfaces.this stuff is really good.Australian maid infect made in {Adelaide SouthAustralia}

7. SUB-BASE COMPACTING

Use a plate compactor to compact the sub-base. This is crucial as we do not want to have any air gaps in our system. If you skip this step, it will lead to undulations or depressions later on.

8. WEED KILLER

until this point, all the weeds are gone now this is a good time to use weed killer.Spray the entire area rather generously with weed killer to reduce the chances of weeds appearing in the future.

9. BASE PREPARATION & COMPACTION

prepare 60mm of Blue mettle(Normel foot traffic) dust which will be dispersed throughout the entire footprint of your turf project. Once the base has been set, we will hose the base down, and compact it until we reach a compaction level of 95%. At this point, as it is literally hard as a rock, which is exactly what you want.

9.1  Pro Tip After a plate competing you will have competition marks this is the part Elbow grease come into the action.A good set of kneepads and trowels will get rid of those uneven spots.

9.2 Pro tips when you do set the levels of blue metal dust to allow a 25mm rebate for the artificial lawn you will have better finish results as shown in next 2 photos.

11. TURF PREPARATION (MEASURE, CUT & ROLL)

Make sure to roll the turf completely out and allow it to sit in the sun during the initial preparation process. Since the turf has been rolled up like carpet, we will want to make sure to eliminate any wrinkles and bunching. If you skip this step, you may see air-pockets in your turf later down the line as the artificial grass has a chance to completely settle.

With proper planning, proceed to position the turf for installation. The goal is to have as few seams as possible and with proper planning, this can be achieved every time. Once the fake grass is positioned properly, remove the excess turf that will not be needed, which will make it much easier to work with.

12. JOINING & TRIMMING

Once the artificial turf has been perfectly laid out and all the excess material has been trimmed, we are now ready to seam the pieces together. It is important to make sure that all the rolls of grass are laid in the same direction so that the blades all point the same way.( Remember the good old saying Mesure twice cut once )

There are several seaming techniques, and the actual technique used for a particular job can vary from job to job depending on the circumstance. The various techniques include utilising seaming tape in conjunction with adhesives(glue) to sewing to the most popular residential application being u pins& nails.

12.1, Protips Always cut 2 seems from the edge where the 2 panels are joining if this step is skipped you will never have a good Join. 

the final trimming can take place along the parameter of the Artificial grass.

13. BORDER PREPARATION

To properly secure the border it is a good idea to nail down the perimeter with nails. Use 80mm u pins use them every 1-feet around the perimeter of your project.

13.1,Protips all the join has to be u pined every foot to make a sure strong joint. old tip hammer length gap in between u nail will do the trick

14. INFILL PREPARATION

To get the turf ready for the infill installation, you will want to use a power broom and sweep the turf in the opposite direction that the blades are pointing. This will prop the blades upright and allow for the infill to properly penetrate the grass to the base of the turf.

15. INFILL INSTALLATION

Use a standard seed drop spreader to install the infill. The infill is used to help weigh down the turf, assist with blade recovery, soften the feel under your feet, and depending on the actual infill you use, there may be other benefits (i.e. antimicrobial, prevents degradation, reduced heat consumption/overheating). You will need to determine the amount of infill to use in advance because you will want to leave 30 mm of the blade of grass exposed. The amount of infill to install will depend on the specific synthetic lawn you choose. The metric will be kg per sq meter, in terms of how many kg of infill you will need per meters of artificial grass.

16. FINAL TRIMMING & CLEAN-UP

Walk the project to see if there are any blades of grass that are out of place. If everything looks perfect, then hose down your new lawn which will complete the infill install and now your artificial turf installation is complete and ready for use.

17. FINAL INSPECTION

The last and final step is an inspection. yes, we do have inspectors will make sure the whole project is finishing up to high standards!

From start to finish, our artificial grass experience with Gary and WA Turf Gurus was fantastic. Gary took the time to understand what it was I wanted and needed and ensured that I was comfortable... and onboard with the whole process.Gary went above and beyond for us; re-prepping the site, tucking and pinning the lawn so that our dogs couldn’t pull at it, providing me with advice on caring for the lawn with the dogs (deodoriser, edging, etc.) he and his colleague even worked through the rain to ensure that our backyard was finished within the two days that were planned for.I would highly recommend Gary and WA Turf Gurus for any of your artificial grass needs if you’re looking for a smooth process with someone that actually cares!Thanks again Gary -we love our new backyard 🙂read more
