Installing your turf
We sell turf. We're not a licensed contractor. California requires a contractor's license for any project over $500 in total labor and materials. We can help with small jobs under that limit — a dog run, a side yard, a patch — but for anything bigger, either install it yourself with the guide below or hire a licensed landscaper and have us deliver the turf.
Not a licensed contractor.
How to install artificial turf yourself
- Measure and order
- Clear the area — remove existing grass/sod, roots, rocks
- Base — compacted road base or decomposed granite, a few inches, graded for drainage
- Edging / border to hold the base
- Roll out the turf, let it relax in the sun, trim with a utility knife
- Seam tape and adhesive where rolls meet; nails or staples along edges
- Infill (sand or similar), brushed in
- Brush the fibers up
