The #1 reason for bad seams in Artificial Grass

Рет қаралды 170,898

Күн бұрын

In the manufacturing process, the edges of the artificial grass go through a roller system. This is the cause of the outer most blades leaning towards the outside of the roll. If these outer 3-4 tufts are not cut off before seaming two pieces of grass together, your seam will be forever visible. Take our advice and make those seams dissapear once and for all.

Nice job on this video! We watch a lot of videos and it takes forever for them to “get to the point.” Your video is clear, easy to see, totally helpful! Thank you for this!

Awesome tip!! installing my first job today. going to try and find the other tips at the difficult parts of the job.

Its difficult but not impossible bud just make sure your base is flat and compact ed well. Also the turf needs to be installed stretched. Creating a 5x5 grid with nails during the install process is enough but the more the better.

this is exactly why I was searching for seam videos. have the mohawk going on a job right now. I hope I have enough carpet to trim a few more rows off.

so in order to "appear taller" those fibre must BE taller?

If the turf pieces are not outer most outside edges w/ flaps, do you suggest STILL cutting 3 stitch rows in? If yes, why? Thx.

@chrissmith7364 3 жыл бұрын

That seems obvious to me, but what about the perpendicular lines? I'm not sure how to erase those.

For cross seams is it the same process or is there another trick? I want to buy some remnant. I need 15x30' but I have deal on 15x15' and 15x15 how do I seam in the middle without a line?

@scrapppackk7971 2 жыл бұрын

Overlap the two pieces about 3-4 inches, and follow along the top piece with a poking tool (I use an ice pick) and make little pokes through the bottom roll where the top roll falls at. Make them 2-3 inches apart so they're easy to find, then fold the turf back and connect the dots with a blade. Lay in a as if gluing the seam and they should like up perfectly

@leonareyna581 2 жыл бұрын

So just to confirm, you leave a little gap where there will be nothing in between the 2 pieces but it won't show since the grass moves that way anyway?

@BellaTurfDIY 2 жыл бұрын

Correct. You want the end row of blades on each piece to replicate the spacing throughout.

How far from the edge do you nail it in at the seam?

Thanks to TurfTac adhesive, we longer nail seams. Rather weight them down for 45-60 mins after glueing.

Can you take it back up and rejoin? My hubby has laid ours wrong and it’s a black seam line. Can it be rectified

@nateberkheimer 3 жыл бұрын

Most seam adhesive is a permanent fix. There is a way to correct, but will require cutting the seam out and adding a new strip of turf. Want to shoot a photo to nate@bellaturf.ca? I'll see if I see a clear solution.

If the turf has been installed and it has this "mohawk" effect, can it still be fixed?

Wish there was answer to this. My husband and I are going to use scissors and cut off the top- hopefully that works

he is cutting the grass so when two seprate pieces join, the notches in the bottom will look seamless since the rows of grass are the same distance, take a look again he maintains the gap across all the rows. too big too small will make the grass stick out

Are you sure you know anything about turf? In your first example it would have fit fine if you had the fibers oriented correctly. You had them facing one another. Turn it 180 degrees and they fit fine. If it is a quality product 1 or 2 seams are plenty enough for a good seam.
