Curious what it takes to install drought-resistant, low-maintenance artificial grass at home? We got you. Since 2010, we’ve honed our process and it is tried and tested with more than 2000 installations in the Bay Area.
So, if you’re looking to get a lush, low-maintenance lawn without all the hassles of natural grass, artificial turf might be the perfect solution for your yard. At Blades of Glory, we're experts in installing synthetic lawns that look and feel like the real thing. Here's an inside look at our proven six-step process:
The first step is for our team to schedule an in-home consultation. We'll visit your property, take measurements of the area, and discuss your needs and vision for the new lawn. Using state-of-the-art software, we'll then create a detailed 3D rendering and installation plan customized just for you. This is something unique to Blades of Glory. No other artificial turf installer will take such meticulous care up front to make sure all your needs are met as well as outline any potential problems ahead of time.
Once the plan is finalized, it's time to start prepping the lawn area for installation. Our crew will carefully excavate the existing grass, soil, and any roots or debris, being extra cautious not to damage any surrounding plants or structures. We'll then haul everything away, leaving a clean slate. In other words, we do all of the dirty work before the next phase of turf installation.
Next, we install the critical base layers that help provide proper drainage and a smooth, sturdy foundation for the artificial grass. This includes:
Now for the main event! We'll carefully roll out your chosen premium synthetic turf product over the prepared base. Using specialized turf nails, we'll secure the grass firmly into the ground to prevent any wrinkling or heaving over time.
Proper drainage is vital for long-lasting artificial lawns. We'll ensure the turf is graded for optimal runoff, and install a perimeter nailer board and drain strips where needed. For putting greens, we'll meticulously compact the base and laser-level the surface.
As the finishing touch, we'll add a thin layer of antimicrobial turf infill to help the grass blades stand upright and create a perfectly manicured look.
After a final clean-up, it's time for the big reveal! We always love this part - watching our clients' jaws drop as they see their new dream lawn for the first time. Whether you're envisioning a lush backyard oasis for entertaining, a low-maintenance pet-friendly space, personalized putting green, bocce court, or something entirely new, we'll bring your vision to life!
