I’ve been installing turf for 7 years now, I love it. Tbh with you there’s no need for an “S” seam when you know what you are doing and the quality of the turf is good. In my opinion, it’s just more waste of turf and labor. I don’t mean to tell you how to run your business but this is what I do for a living and I know that the faster you get these jobs out and the less you spend on labor the more money there is left in your pocket at the end of the day. You have 4 people doing one 12-13 ft seam. That could have easily be done by one or two persons while the other 2-3 stretch and nail the rest of the area. “S” seams maybe visible if not done correctly because you’re cutting through the fibers instead of in between them.Straight seams would be fine as long as you cut enough stitching off the sides first. If you look at the side ends of the turf when you first get it (the black ends you need to cut off in order to seam) the turf tends to go sideways because of how it’s made so you need to cut off at least 4-5 lines and then you can start seeing the fibers straightening up. Most of the time when you have a seam that “Mohawks” this is the reason why or it’s overlapped. I would also recommend using staples for the seam they allow you to spread or tighten up the seam as you do it. These are things not a lot of people know unless they do this right and everyday. I work all over Southern California let me know if you ever need some help my team can help yours grow.

i use the procutta seam tool. i have tried all ways. found out its much better and invisible seam 100% of the time. we use the procutta then handcut it in. it really quick once you master it. way faster and 100% of the time. sometime when you do straight seam, if the ground is not perfect flat you will have trouble. okay you guys know about zigzag seams? ill make video about that sometime.

@diamondhandz5187 3 жыл бұрын

@@enviouslawn1665 you’re correct about the leveling of the ground, if not leveled right straight seams maybe visible. If you’re good at what you do, you can get away with straight seams but in my opinion, the zig zag seams work the best, no expensive tool needed, no need to cut through fibers all straight cuts and less turf wasted. I try to minimize how much turf I waste as much as possible because those inches turn into sqft, sqft turn into dollars.

The seam is very important, but you don't need the curvy tool. Cut the seam correcting straight works just as well. 3/8 is the separation you need between the 2 pieces of grass. It's not that hard! Biggest problem are the corrupt contractors out there. Sad part is there are more poor ones then good ones - they'll nickel and dime you to death.

@fasttommys Жыл бұрын

Don't waste your time with it. Straight seems done correctly match the rest of the turf. Space the seam the same width as the stitch rows and they become invisible. My family runs an install company exclusively doing artificial turf. I've done over 50,000 sq ft and I can atest that the s seams are more visible and produce a lot of waste. Roll orientation and fluffing the turf after it's fully installed is the only way to do it!
