Easy to install and maintain, SYNLawn artificial grass can help homeowners maximize their home investment, enhance the quality of life and transform unused areas into functional living spaces. Following these instructions can help create beautiful, eco-friendly landscapes that look great and save money for years to come.

5 EASY DO-IT-YOURSELF INSTALLATION STEPS
1. PREPARE THE BASE
- Clear the surface area where the base of your grass will be placed. If used outdoors, remove anything unwanted (ex: old grass), then use your artificial grass rake and hand tamper to smooth and compact the base surface.
2. TRIM TO SIZE
- After placing your artificial grass in position, customize your installation using a utility knife to carefully trim your artificial grass to the desired size and shape, keeping the grain pointed in the same direction.
3. GLUE TOGETHER SEAMS
- Align 2 pieces of artificial grass with grain in the same direction. Once aligned, fold back edges to place artificial grass seam cloth and adhesive. Lay artificial grass seam cloth entire length of seam, then apply artificial grass adhesive liberally and evenly.
4. SECURE IN PLACE
- Secure edges by driving Landscape Stakes approximately every 6 in. - 8 in. along perimeter. For large installations additional landscape stakes should be used to reinforce long seams and placed where needed.
5. GROOM YOUR GRASS
- Finally. Use a artificial grass rake to brush the fibers up and rinse with a garden hose. Periodic brushing and rinsing will keep your SYNLawn looking fresh, natural and beautiful for years to come.
