Roll out grass to cover areas. Trim edges of grass rolls using a craft knife

5 It’s always easier to cut the grass rolls from underneath

Loose jointed. 3mm gap

• Apply adhesive onto jointing tape (rough side up) and spread along join surface.

• Place roll edge onto tape making sure the fibres do not touch the glue.

• Ruffle up the pile at the joint to disguise

Edge fixing

• To fix down the edges, use the ground pins and fix through grass at 200mm intervals.

• Ruffle the grass over the pin heads to disguise.

Angle pins to avoid lifting

If fitting on a solid surface such as concrete or tarmac use a bead of adhesive along all edges.

6 If jointing is required

8 Stand back and enjoy!

Spread and level and compact 35mm of sharp builders sand.

• If jointing ensure grass rolls are butted together with no fibres caught underneath.

• Ensure all grass rolls are laid in the same direction so the blades of grass point the same way.

Compact sand using a builders plank & heavy hammer

Re-smooth sand after completion. Gentle slopes or mounds are fine.
