Our Artificial Turf Installation Process

Z Floor follows a professional and proven installation approach:

  1. Site Evaluation – Analyze ground condition, purpose, and foot traffic
  2. Base Preparation – Excavation and compacted aggregate for proper drainage
  3. Turf Laying & Trimming – Precise cuts for a seamless fit
  4. Securing & Infill – Fastening turf and applying sand or rubber infill
  5. Final Grooming – Brushing fibers to ensure even distribution and appearance

Maintenance Tips for Longevity

Even though artificial turf requires less upkeep than natural grass, regular care ensures it stays pristine:

  • Brush regularly to keep fibers upright
  • Rinse with water to remove dust, debris, or pet waste
  • Replenish infill if it becomes uneven or compacted
  • Inspect seams and edges for weed growth or shifting
