These nails were exactly what we needed for a secure install. They go in clean, hold tight, and don’t bend easily like some cheaper ones we tried before. We’ve had zero shifting or lifting even after heavy rain and foot traffic.
Sometimes installers will use nails in the putting green turf to stabilize the installation. However, the. Type of nails used has to be without heads (or pins) and once installed, people won’t notice them at all. Regular 40D or 60D will probably not work as the mail heads will be exposed. I hope your installer has used the correct nails that not visible on your green, of course it will always be ideal to only have infills to hold the turf in place without using any nails.
