In Metro Vancouver, artificial grass is gaining ground over natural grass because of its low-maintenance performance, durability, and ease of installation. Homeowners across the Lower Mainland are seeing the beauty and benefits of turf installations in both the exterior and interior surfaces of their homes. However, when it comes to installing residential artificial grass in Surrey, there is more to consider than just the style of turf and where you’d like to install it. Infilling is an essential part of installing residential artificial grass. Let the experts here at Turf Suppliers Canada fill you in on all things infill.
Metro Vancouver experiences a spectrum of weather. When choosing the right infill, it’s important to consider the range of weather your turf will be exposed to and determine what sort of heat resistance and drainage would be appropriate. It’s always best to work with a professional turf installer who has the experience to assess your individual installation situation and help you decide on the right substrate, turf type, and infill material. But what exactly is infill? Infill is a finely ground material that is poured over the top of fully installed turf and then brushed into the artificial grass blades to ensure even distribution. Infill aids in drainage, helps support the individual blades to stand upright, and can provide added benefits like shock absorption depending on the intended use of the residential artificial grass. Infill can be made of a wide variety of materials such as sand, rubber, coconut, walnut shells, or even cork.
To install infill correctly it’s important to have not only the correct tools and materials but also the knowledge of just how much infill to apply per square foot. This is where the expert knowledge of a professional installer comes in handy. While on average, you can expect to use roughly 1 to 2 pounds of infill per square foot of turf, these figures can change depending on the type of infill you are using, how much foot traffic the area will see, and which type of turf you have chosen to install. The best time to install infill in Metro Vancouver would be during a series of dry days. If it’s the middle of a stretch of West Coast rain, the turf will likely be damp and cause your infill to clump on the fibres of grass rather than sift down evenly. Infill material is usually spread across residential artificial grass in Surrey using equipment such as a drop spreader. Once the material has been spread out as evenly as possible, your installer will use a brush and rake out the surface to fully integrate the infill into the blades of grass. Proper installation of infill allows the grass blades to not just stand upright but to spring back when stepped on. This will help you to avoid flat, discoloured, or matted patches on your grass.
