Pre-Installation Steps
Evaluation of the property and site preparation
Before you start laying down your new artificial grass, you need to take a few steps to ensure it looks good and lasts a long time. The first step is evaluating your property and preparing the site. Our team of experts will look at the land and soil on your property to figure out the best way to put your project in place. During this evaluation, we will look for any possible obstacles or dangers, like rocks or tree roots, that could affect how the turf is put down or how long it lasts.
After we've looked at your property and decided what to do, we'll start the preparation process, which includes digging up the area, grading the soil to make sure it drains well, and packing the soil down to give the grass a stable base. Preparing your artificial turf is very important if you want it to stay in good shape for many years.
Selection of the right artificial grass product
Choosing the right artificial grass is important if you want your project to look and work the way you want it to. During the consultation process, we take into account your specific needs and goals for the space, such as creating a putting green or a durable artificial lawn for your pets to play on.
We'll also talk about important things like pile height, color, and infill options so that the finished product looks and works the way you want it to. Whether you're looking for a natural-looking synthetic turf or a more vibrant color, we have a range of options to choose from. Our turf products, including Wonderfill infill, are sourced from top brands and are of the highest quality to ensure that your artificial lawn looks great for years to come.
Measurement of the area
Accurate measurement is key when it comes to installing artificial synthetic turf. Luxe Blades uses advanced mapping technology to make a precise layout of the area. This cuts down on waste and makes sure that everything fits perfectly. Our team of experts will carefully measure the area where the turf will be put down to make sure that the right amount of turf is ordered and put down.
By avoiding mistakes that will cost you money and making sure the installation is done well, you can enjoy your new artificial turf for many years.

Installation Steps
Laying down the turf
Now that we've completed the pre-installation steps, it's time to start laying down the turf. Our team of experts will carefully lay out the turf, making sure it fits perfectly into the prepared area. We'll also make sure the seams are lined up right and use a special glue to hold them in place.
Our skilled team will also think about where any extra features, like putting greens or infill, should go. We'll make sure these are installed correctly and in the right locations, so you can enjoy your new turf project to the fullest.
Infill
Infill is an essential component of artificial turf installation. It's a material that is used to fill the space between the turf blades, providing support and helping the blades stand up straight. Infill also helps to improve the drainage of the artificial turf.
At Luxe Blades, we use high-quality infill materials to make sure that your artificial turf project turns out as well as it can. We offer a variety of infill options, including Matrix Turf, Wonderfill, and Hellas Infill. Our team will work with you to determine the best infill for your project, taking into account factors such as usage and budget.
Wonderfill
Wonderfill is an innovative infill product that offers several benefits over traditional infill materials. Made from organic materials, Wonderfill is an eco-friendly option that is safe for children and pets. It also drains well and helps keep the surface temperature down, making it a great choice for hot climates.
Our team of experts can install Wonderfill for your artificial turf project, ensuring that it is evenly distributed and providing maximum support for the turf blades. With Wonderfill, you can enjoy a beautiful and environmentally friendly artificial turf project that meets all your needs.
Maintenance
Maintaining your artificial turf is essential for ensuring it looks its best for years to come. Here are some tips to help keep your turf in top condition:
- Regularly remove debris, such as leaves and twigs, to prevent buildup and improve drainage.
- Rinse your turf periodically with water to remove dirt and dust.
- Use a stiff brush to keep the turf blades standing up straight and maintain their appearance.
- If you have pets, clean up any messes promptly to prevent staining and odor buildup.
By following these simple maintenance tips, you can enjoy your artificial turf project for years to come and get the most out of your investment.
