Essential Tools & Materials for a Successful DIY Installation.
A successful DIY turf installation starts with the right tools and materials. These essentials help you cut, secure, and finish your turf properly so the final result looks clean, smooth, and professionally installed.
UTiLITY KNIFE
For precise cutting from the back of the turf. A sharp blade helps you follow the stitch rows cleanly for tight edges and proper fitting.
Seaming Cloth
Used to join turf edges cleanly. It provides a stable base for adhesive so seams stay hidden and secure.
Adhesive / Glue
Outdoor grade bonding for long term hold. This keeps seams tight and prevents edges from lifting over time.
Turf Spikes or Nails
Anchors turf edges securely. Spikes help prevent shifting and keep the perimeter smooth and tight.
Power Broom
Lifts turf fibres and spreads infill evenly. This helps the surface look full and feel more realistic after installation.
Infill Material
Adds stability, weight, and a natural look. Infill keeps fibres standing upright and supports even wear across the turf.
Measuring Tape
For accurate layout and fitting. Correct measurements ensure your turf pieces line up cleanly with minimal trimming.
Gloves & Safety Gear
Protects your hands and helps you work safely, especially when cutting or handling adhesive.
Artificial Grass & Turf
Premium turf available by the foot or roll. Choose the style and pile height that best suits your project.
