Aesthetic and Functional Benefits
In addition to addressing puddling and cracking, the permeable pavers transformed the backyard into an elegant and inviting space. The homeowners now enjoy a functional pool area that enhances the property’s value and visual appeal.
Base Layer Installation
A sub-base made of compacted aggregate (such as crushed rock or gravel) is installed. This layer ensures proper drainage and provides a stable foundation for the turf. The base is compacted using a vibrating plate compactor to create a smooth, solid surface.
Geotextile Fabric Installation (Optional)
A weed barrier or geotextile fabric is often placed over the base to prevent weeds from growing through the synthetic turf.
Turf Installation
Synthetic turf rolls are laid out and positioned on the prepared surface. The turf is cut to fit the area precisely, ensuring it covers the entire space without gaps or overlaps. Seams are joined together using special adhesive or seam tape.
Infill Application
Once the turf is secured, infill materials (such as sand, rubber, or silica) are spread over the turf to help the blades stand upright and provide cushioning. This also aids in drainage and maintains the turf’s natural appearance.
Final Grooming and Inspection
The synthetic turf is brushed and leveled to ensure that the fibers are upright and evenly distributed. A final inspection is done to check for proper installation and that all seams and edges are securely anchored.
