How to Install Artificial Grass (on Concrete or Tiled Surfaces)

Tools Required for Artificial Grass Installation

  • Rubber Adhesive or PU Glue (PU Glue is recommended for outdoor use due to its superior water and heat resistance)
  • Measuring Tape
  • Utility Knife / Cutter (Do not use scissors)
  • Seaming Tape
  • Greeny Grass Artificial Turf

Artificial Grass Installation on Concrete

(Installation Method) Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Start by unrolling the artificial grass and brushing against the grain of the blades. Once brushed, the grass blades will stand upright, looking lush and natural.
Step 1: Unroll and Brush

2. Before laying the grass, clean the surface area thoroughly and measure the installation space accurately.
Step 2: Clean and Measure

3. Lay the artificial turf onto the area, ensuring all rolls face the same direction.
Step 3: Laying the turf

4. Once the turf is laid out, use a cutter to trim any excess grass. Flip the grass and cut from the back for precise corner fitting (Avoid using scissors as they may damage the grass blades).
Step 4: Trimming edges

5. Flip up the edges and place the seaming tape along the joint line to connect two pieces of artificial grass together.
Step 5: Applying seaming tape

6. Apply rubber adhesive or PU glue across the seaming tape (Be careful not to let the glue stain the grass blades).
Step 6: Gluing seams

7. Carefully press the grass edges back down. Check that the seams are tight and flush. Use your hand to smooth the grass blades in the same direction along the seam.
Step 7: Final check

Installation Guide for Compacted Soil Base

Artificial Grass Installation - Step 1
Upon delivery, unroll the turf and allow it to settle and flatten. Place the grass on a flat, hard surface in the sun for approximately 45 minutes. Prepare the existing soil base with crushed stone using the following steps:

  • Remove all existing weeds and natural grass down to the soil level.
  • Lay Geotextile fabric across the entire installation area.
  • Add a stone base (approx. 5-7 cm high) and compact until smooth using a plate compactor (Height may vary depending on site conditions).
  • Top with a layer of sand, level it, and compact again until smooth.

Soil base preparation steps

Artificial Grass - Step 2
(Installation Method) Define the layout according to your desired shape. When laying artificial grass, always face the grain toward the main viewing angle of the field; this ensures the colors appear more vibrant than facing away.
Artificial Grass - Step 3
Our turf rolls are 4 meters wide. For larger areas, seams will be required to join multiple pieces. Use 30 cm wide seaming tape along the entire seam line. (Installation Tip) Use Greeny PU Glue mixed at a ratio of 1:5. Allow glue to dry for 1 hour post-installation. Ensure all equipment and the turf are dry before gluing. Once laid, use a heavy-duty cutter to trim excess edges. We suggest a rough cut first, followed by a precision cut once the size is confirmed. Only apply glue to the base around the corners or edges of the installation area.

Trimming the grass edges

Greeny Grass products have a lifespan of over 8-10 years with minimal maintenance. For stains, simply wash with water or mild soapy water and use a plastic-bristled brush to remove dirt. Please avoid disposing of chewing gum or cigarettes on the artificial turf.
As you can see, Artificial Grass Installation is quite manageable! You can follow these steps to create a beautiful green space at home, perfect for indoor or outdoor family activities.

Artificial Grass Cleaning & Maintenance

How to clean artificial turf

Precautions

  • No smoking on the artificial grass. Keep away from open flames at all times.
  • Avoid contact with battery acid or other chemicals like grease or oil, as they may damage or discolor the turf.
  • Do not use wire brushes. Use only plastic-bristled brushes for maintenance.
  • Protect the turf from sharp metal legs of tables or chairs by using padding or protectors to avoid scratching the backing.

Artificial Grass Installation FAQ

Can I install artificial grass directly over natural grass?
Not recommended. Natural grass buried underneath will rot, causing odors and mold. It also creates an uneven surface. You should remove the natural grass and weeds, prepare a proper sub-base, and compact it before installation.
Will there be water pooling on concrete surfaces?
Greeny Grass is designed with drainage holes throughout the backing. As long as the existing concrete floor has a proper slope (Slope) toward a drain, water will pass through the turf and drain away naturally without pooling.
What type of adhesive should I use?
Standard rubber adhesive is suitable for indoor use. However, for outdoor projects exposed to sun and rain, we strongly recommend PU (Polyurethane) Glue due to its superior bonding strength, heat resistance, and waterproof properties.
What are the essential tools for D.I.Y. installation?
The primary tools include a heavy-duty utility knife for trimming, measuring tape, seaming tape, and adhesive. For soil-based installations, ground pins or pegs are also required to secure the edges.
What is the lifespan of the artificial turf?
High-quality artificial turf has an average lifespan of 8-10 years, depending on usage. Regular maintenance, such as rinsing with water or light brushing with a plastic broom, will help keep the blades upright and extend its beauty.
