I have actually had to go back to a job to replace with u pins because the nails come out to easy

    I'm worried. Our landscapers are putting in turf right now. They didn't roll out the product and leave it out to relax and expand at all. I'm seeing ripples already as it's getting installed. I also see a big ugly seem that I can't deny. Is infill an option or a standard product for installation? Can someone help with a reply that knows what the homeowner should be looking for in terms of a good installation vs. not good. I am new at this and a bit nervous. Thanks.

    • @ewingoutdoorsupply
      @ewingoutdoorsupply  2 года назад

      What we showed in the video is typical for an installation including time for the turf to decompress after being rolled up. We do recommend infill for 2 reasons, to act as ballast to help keep the turf weighed down and to help the blades stand up. If they didn't match the "grain" of the turf so that the blades are all laying in the same direction, the seam will be easier to see. Here's a link to written instructions if you'd like more details.

    • @madonnahagedorn5649
      @madonnahagedorn5649 2 года назад

      The landscapers did put down infill and then took a broom to settle it all. As for the seem, can it be a result of slightly overlapping the pieces. I ask this because the "grain" looks ok to me. I am thankful for all your kind help.

    Is there a minimum temperature at which this turf needs to be laid to expand out before installing?

    • @ewingoutdoorsupply
      @ewingoutdoorsupply  7 лет назад +2

      +Samuel Levine - The manufacturer doesn't list a specific temperature for installation. The idea is to have the turf as pliable as possible to achieve the best results. This is from the installation guide:
      "Your synthetic grass has been tightly wrapped and sealed. This eliminates
      damage that can occur during shipping. Because of the compression from
      wrapping, we recommend you allow the turf to “relax” prior to installation. To do this,
      you need to fully unroll and allow turf to rest at least 6 hours. As warm an area as
      possible or in the sun helps! Remember that your turf is extremely flexible and you
      want it as relaxed as possible for ease with installation."
      Thanks for watching!

      +Texas LawnMonster - Thanks for the question! Odor is usually not much of a concern with proper drainage unless you have pets. Using the ZeoFill Pet Infill will help combat odors resulting from pet urine.
      If for any reason you do have odors in your turf, scrub the affected area using a few drops of dish soap per gallon of water then rinse with water. Do not use other cleansers such as bleach or any item with alcohol as they can damage the turf. Make sure you rinse thoroughly to avoid dulling the blades.

    Question… aren’t you supposed to put some thick black film under the turf to keep weeds from coming up?

    • @ewingoutdoorsupply
      @ewingoutdoorsupply  Год назад

      It's not a requirement but it can help prevent weeds from forming deep roots making them harder to remove. Be aware that weed seeds will germinate in the infill used in synthetic turf installations. This means that even if you include landscape fabric in your installation, you will still likely see weeds.

    So what about waste, say a neighbor's dog or cat wonders on the lawn without you know and bends a biscuit where you don't view everyday? What about wet waste, will it cause problems? I figured this allows water to pass through it but if liquid waste passes through would it be like a carpet getting wet and retain a smell or mold?

    • @ewingoutdoorsupply
      @ewingoutdoorsupply  8 лет назад

      +therealdeadpen - Pick up pet droppings as you normally would on any other surface. Use water to rinse the turf for any remaining particles and urine to keep your turf looking great. Do not power wash feces into turf as it will be harder to get out of the fibers. You can also use products like ZeoFill to help control pet odors. www.ewingirrigation.com/eps-zeofill-pet-infill-50lb
