1. Preparation

Before you start applying artificial turf, you must do sufficient preparation. First, clean the ground to ensure that the ground is clean, flat and free of sharp objects and obstacles. For potholes on the ground, you need to fill them so that the lawn can be pasted smoothly.

In addition, prepare the necessary auxiliary tools, including tape measures, utility knives, special glue for artificial turf, brushes, rubber hammers, nails, electric drills, etc. These tools will play an important role in the subsequent construction process.

2. Choose the right glue

The choice of glue is crucial to the pasting effect of artificial turf. You should choose a high-quality, weather-resistant and strong adhesive, and ensure that it is compatible with the material on the back of the lawn. According to the type of lawn and the expected use environment, choose a suitable adhesive to ensure that the lawn can be firmly pasted on the ground.

3. Correct construction

When pasting artificial turf, you need to follow the correct order. Use a tape measures to measure the area that the artificial turf needs to cover and ensure that the turf is of the right size. According to the size and shape of the actual installation area, use a knife to cut the artificial turf to the right size. Then, apply a layer of adhesive evenly on the ground, paying attention to controlling the amount of glue to avoid too much or too little. Then, gently place the artificial turf on the adhesive to ensure that the turf is in full contact with the ground. Use a brush or rubber hammer to gently tap the turf to make it fit more closely to the ground.

4. Lawn connection

When multiple pieces of artificial turf need to be connected, the correct connection method should be adopted. First, stick the edges of the two pieces of turf together to ensure that they fit tightly. Then, cover the joint with a layer of adhesive and use auxiliary tools (such as nails or clips) to fix the two pieces of turf together. Make sure that the connection part is flat and natural, without obvious marks.

5. Compacting and fixing

After the pasting is completed, some measures need to be taken to ensure the firm fixation of the artificial turf. Use heavy objects or special artificial turf fixing clips to fix the edge part to help the adhesive better combine with the ground. During the fixing process, pay attention to keep the turf flat to avoid wrinkles or unevenness.

6. Curing and maintenance

After the artificial turf is constructed, it needs a certain curing time. Generally speaking, the curing time is about three days, and it takes ten days to test the final strength. During the curing period, care should be taken to avoid water immersion and moving the lawn . At the same time, the lawn should be cleaned and maintained regularly to maintain its beauty and durability.

Whether it is a home courtyard, park green space or sports field, these skills can help you create a comfortable and beautiful artificial turf environment.
