Lush, Low-Maintenance Lawns for Your Outdoor Oasis
At Wettstein Outdoor Design, our artificial turf installation process is designed to deliver a lush, maintenance-free lawn that enhances the beauty and functionality of your outdoor space. Whether you're looking for a pristine lawn or a custom putting green, we have you covered. Here are the typical steps involved in our artificial turf installation service:
Our process begins with a thorough consultation to understand your specific needs, preferences, and the intended use of the space. Whether it's a standard lawn or a specialized putting green, we assess the area to determine factors such as size, existing landscaping, drainage, and any unique challenges that need to be addressed.
Based on the assessment, we create a custom design plan that integrates seamlessly with your overall landscape. For putting greens, we consider elements such as contours, slopes, and hole placements to ensure an authentic golfing experience. For lawns, we focus on patterns and additional features like pathways or borders.
The installation area is prepared by removing any existing grass, debris, or vegetation. We then excavate the site to the appropriate depth, ensuring a stable foundation for the artificial turf, be it for a lawn or putting green.
We install a base layer of crushed stone or gravel to facilitate proper drainage and provide a solid foundation. This layer is compacted to create a level surface, preventing any future settling or unevenness, which is especially crucial for putting greens.
A weed barrier is laid over the compacted base to prevent any weeds from growing through the turf, ensuring long-term durability and a pristine appearance.
The artificial turf is carefully rolled out and positioned according to the design plan. We make precise cuts to fit the turf perfectly around any obstacles, such as trees or landscaping features, with special attention to the smoothness and detail required for putting greens.
Turf sections are joined together using industrial-grade adhesive or seaming tape to create a seamless look. The turf is then secured with landscaping nails or staples to ensure it stays in place.
A layer of infill, typically sand or rubber granules, is spread across the turf to weigh it down, support the fibers, and enhance the natural feel and appearance. For putting greens, we use a specialized infill to achieve the desired ball roll and speed.
The turf is brushed and groomed to ensure the fibers stand upright, giving it a natural look. For putting greens, we ensure the surface is perfectly smooth and true. We conduct a thorough inspection to ensure every detail meets our high standards of quality and craftsmanship.
We provide you with maintenance tips and guidelines to maximize the longevity and appearance of your artificial turf, ensuring it remains vibrant and beautiful for years to come, whether it's a lush lawn or a professional-grade putting green.
