I want to thank Global Syn Turf for helping me find a reliable installer in my area. I searched and searched for a reliable and legitimate artificial turf installer in my area. The company they referred me gave me a list of over 100 installation they did in my city. I drove by three front yards and saw how good their installation work was. Their seams were done very well, so well I couldn't even tell where the seams were. Seaming of artificial turf is so important it can make or break an installation. I have seen some artificial turf installations that looked so bad and it was all because of the seams. When I was looking at the front yards, I found the turf I fell in love with that looks so much like the natural turf in my part of the world, S Blade 90. I am retired and on a set income and needed someone that was reasonable in their price. Ed took great care of me and gave me a price I could live with. We even budgeted in a 3-hole putting green for me to pass the time with my retired golf buddies. The putting green has uphill putts, downhill putts, left breaking putts and right breaking putts. My buddies and I invited Ed the installer over for dinner and a putting contest. Ed has a putting green in his yard and gave us a lot of great putting games. He also built a 3' x 3' piece of turf on a board that we can chip off of on to the putting green. We can move the chipping board to different spots in the yard and chip to the putting green. We play games where we pick a hole on the putting green and whoever gets in the hole with the lowest score wins that hole. We play 9- and 18-hole games with each player alternating who calls the game per hole. It is so much fun especially when you are grilling and drinking a beer with a little music. This putting green has been so much fun and I recommend everyone call Ed and everyone get a putting green.
It is difficult to tell without seeing the process and results of the installation. Turf installers might use different installation materials that available locally and alternate the process from our recommendations while still achieving the goals such as proper drainage. Infills are recommended for the purpose of helping to hold down the turf and minimize contractions and expansions. Your installer is correct that most of our turf are thick and fluffy enough to stand up well, though. Sometimes people skip using infills because of budget or for small areas. In any case, uneven surface seems more like an installation issue. For any further questions, please feel free to call us at 877 796 8873 or email us at [email protected], thank you.

Yes, we have our turf independent tested and passes all nine levels for fire retardant. We have test sheets available from the office staff. Our turf is installed at former Angels manager Mike Scioscia house, and it had melted but turf helped stop the house from going up.

You will probably only need the turf glues when seaming two pieces of artificial grass together for most common installations. Our turf glue comes in with 3 different packages: 28 oz tube, 1 gallon and 5 gallon buckets. For seaming purpose, a tube of turf glue will be able to cover a seam up to 12’ long, and one gallon glue can cover up to 40’ long of seams.
Read Answer: How much turf glue do I need to apply?
It will depend on where you will need the glue for your installation: if you are planing to glue the entire artificial grass piece of 15’x15’ on a solid surface, a 29 oz turf glue won’t be enough, you will need to get a gallon which is the next available pack size. If you are using the turf glue just for the seams, a tube of 29 oz turf glue will cover a seam length between 9’ and 12’. So for us to make accurate recommendations, please call us at 877 796 8873 or email us at [email protected] with your project details, thank you.
