A-91901 and A-91905,
Autograph's New Landscaping Grass has found its place
into the Landscape America Collection, because of the
wonderful color and the non-glare polyethylene. The "Spring
Set" Nylon
adds a soft foundation for the turf. This nylon adds
cushion and causes the P.E. to regain its original
appearance after traffic has depressed the pile. For
maximum pile retention always infill with 1-2 lbs per
square foot of sand and 1lb of rubber per square foot.
If you want a cushion effect. The soft subtle polyethylon
has a special texturizing effect that makes the turf
look natural.
Installation of Landscape Turf:
Base: Scrape clean and kill all existing grass and remove
any topsoil that could germinate seeds. If possible
remove any old shrubs and bring level of yard up so
the water will drain away from the foundation. Spread
4 inches of "Crusher Run" Limestone
compacted to at least 75%. Add top layer of 1/4 minus
Granite dust or Block screenings. Water down and compact.
Slopes or other landscaping techniques are allowed. Add
French drains below the top base if you re-direct any
water that drains through turf.
Seams: Each roll has a
selvedge that extends beyond the edge of yarn rufts by
about 2 inches. This can be used to attach two rolls
together. Seams can be sewn, glued with nylon tape, folded
under and attached to ground using landscape nails. Short
seams less than 50 feet or on a project that is not being
used as a play surface can use the nail method. Be careful,
nails bust be solid in ground 12-15 inches deep. Care
must be taken to avoid any exposed edges. Several methods
of installation can be engineered depending upon the
local situation:
1) Glue turf down if possible. 2) Attach
turf to wood timbers. 3) Bury edges and corners.
4) Cover
with rocks, timbers or bark. 5) Rebar or landscaping
nails. 6) Steel or rubber edging.

Dressing: High quality clean washed, dry sand sieve size
20-40 works best. Use a drop spreader and apply sand slowly
in an exact pattern. Erect the pile and level the sand.
Sometimes a leaf blower will help stand the fibers straight
up. Warm weather 70° and a hot sun will bring fibers
erect. Use about 3lbs per 50 sq feet. If turf is to be
used as a play surface add 1 to 2 lbs #15-20 crumb rubber.
This can be supplied by the turf manufacturer in 100lb
bags. Apply and brush rubber in the same manner. You cannot
make a mistake that cannot be fixed later. |
