7 Must-Haves for Artificial Turf Supply
Artificial turf brings functionality and visual appeal to many types of projects. Professionals from the landscape, hardscape, architectural, and pool design industries use synthetic grass to enhance their work and meet clients’ needs. At Goat Turf, we distribute high-quality turf and installation tools to businesses and individuals to make their work more efficient. Here are some products we carry that are regularly used during turf installation:
1. Turf Rolls
Artificial turf is manufactured to meet various project applications and client preferences. As the largest distributor of SYNLawn artificial grass in the southeastern U.S., we keep large rolls of turf stocked in our 20,000-square-foot warehouse. We can cut these rolls to a custom size using our Accu-Cut machine or sell them directly to contractors. We carry a range of turf specialized for outdoor projects like pet areas and sports fields.
Pet-friendly turf is designed to provide traction and drainage that keeps the area safe and hygienic. Playground and sports facility turf absorbs impacts and can be supplemented with an extra layer of shock-absorbing material to protect users from fall injuries. Our patio, rooftop, and deck turf options are thick and lush to increase the comfort of users and help them withstand heavy foot traffic. We also carry turf for putting greens with a shorter pile height that enables the ball to glide across the surface without resistance. Landscaping turf is ideal for pool surrounds and lawns on residential and commercial property.
2. Seam Tape and Adhesive
Installing turf requires an adhesive to help the product stay flat, minimizing tripping hazards. Because turf comes in rolls of certain widths and lengths, several pieces may be required to fill the installation site. Installation teams use seam tape and glue to connect the turf pieces and camouflage the areas where the two pieces meet. We carry seam tape, glue, and turf trimmers to help installers create safe and visually appealing results.
3. Infill
To help turf fibers stand upright and maintain their structure, installers spread infill across the grass’s surface. At Goat Turf, we offer Envirofill, which is a durable infill material that requires minimal maintenance. Envirofill is made from coated sand and has antimicrobial properties that prevent the growth of bacteria and microbes on playgrounds, sports fields, and pet areas. This protects the health of turf users and extends the lifespan of the infill and grass. We also carry infill spreaders and compactors to help installers achieve even coverage and speed up the installation process.
4. Aggregate Rock
Artificial turf with proper drainage increases the safety of users by helping the surface dry faster and more efficiently. A layer of aggregate rock or gravel beneath the turf separates the grass from the dirt, allowing water and other fluids to move through and away from the turf. This creates a stable foundation and prevents pooling and mildew growth. Goat Turf maintains a stock of aggregate rock and a delivery truck for contractors and in-house installers.
5. Geotextile
Geotextile is a synthetic fabric material turf installers can place over the dirt of an installation site to prevent the aggregate or gravel from settling in the soil. This helps improve the stability of the installation site. The geotextile also prevents weed growth to maintain the appearance of artificial grass over time.
6. Plastic Lumber
Our installation teams use plastic lumber to create a perimeter around the project area. The lumber provides a clear border and a place for the turf’s edges to be secured. We carry plastic lumber with a 50-year warranty to confirm the quality and reliability of the product.
7. Staples and Screws
Staples, screws, nails, and stakes hold synthetic grass in place permanently. Installers place narrow staples and screws along the turf’s borders to reduce their visibility and minimize the risk of tripping hazards. Nails and stakes are added where necessary to provide more security to the turf. Goat Turf has a supply of screws, narrow crown staples, six-inch spiral nails, and plastic stakes that are effective for large and small projects.
Our Custom Turf Design and Installation Services
Our team supplies industry professionals throughout the Southeast and also completes custom installation projects for home and business owners. We input each project’s measurements into an advanced platform to create a mockup of the potential outcomes. Digital renderings allow clients to make adjustments to the design before our team starts the physical work. Once the designs are approved, our experienced installers use equipment like our fleet of trucks, excavators, turf cutters, and on-site rock to simplify and personalize every aspect of the project.
