The transcript is a detailed, step-by-step guide to installing a synthetic lawn from start to finish.
The process begins with the removal of the existing grass. This is done using a sod cutter, which perfectly cuts out strips of grass. The grass is then rolled up and removed, revealing the soil underneath. The grass is removed in large quantities, approximately 3,000 pounds of grass and soil.
The soil is then taken to a distributor where it is recycled into pure soil. The yard is then leveled using a makeshift screed system.
The next step is to apply a weed and grass killer, followed by a weed barrier. This is a crucial step as it prevents weeds and grass from growing on the turf.
Crushed rock is then spread over the yard, evenly and according to the number of inches suggested. The rock is then compacted using a plate compactor.
The grass is then installed, with the rolls cut and spliced together. The grass is then nail-staked in place, with the seams secured using seam tape and adhesive.
Finally, the turf is filled with smart fill, which is spread evenly over the turf. The grass is then watered and allowed to grow.
Throughout the process, the speaker emphasizes the importance of thoroughness, especially when it comes to watering the turf and compacting the base. They also highlight the benefits of using specific products, such as the smart turf grass and the antimicrobial smart fill.
