BASE PREPARATION

LAYING THE TURF

HANDY HINTS

 
INFILL INSTALLATION


1. Once the carpet has been installed it is now ready to be infilled. Ideally the turf should be top dressed with four fine layers of ground rubber and foundry sand each being manipulated into the fibre of the grass after each application.

2. Apply a thin layer of sand using a drop spreader or fertilizer spreader. This is best applied in thin layers rather than piling the material in one spot and sweeping it in. After each application broom or lightly rake with a leaf rake to get the infill material to the bottom of the fibre. A power broom can be used for a professional finish.

3. Apply a thin layer of the granulated rubber and repeat a s above.

4. Repeat applying the layer of sand and rubber as above until the desired level of infill has been achieved. (Typically you will require 6kg of rubber and 13kg of sand per sqm). The amount of infill is dependant on the amount of traffic and the specific application (average 20-30mm). If the synthetic grass is being used under children's play equipment more rubber can be used to act as a soft fall alternative. Each type of grass will have it's own specific level of infill.

 
Step 1-4: A stiff broom, leaf rake or soil spreader can be used to manipulate the infill into the fibres after every application of infill.
