Tools You Need To Install Artificial Turf In Between Pavers:
Staples https://amzn.to/3mN8lv0
These 6" staples were perfect for creating stronger seams, installing weed fabric in larger turf areas, and for randomly securing other areas of artificial turf.
Scissors https://amzn.to/42klYCm
These scissors were life savers for cutting artificial turf. Most videos us a utility knife, which you do need for some cutting, but these worked so well, I don't think I could have done this project without them.
6" Turf Nails https://amzn.to/3LjdXr6
The 6" turf nails worked really well to secure the turf to the decomposed granite. Space them as needed, but 46" worked well for me!
Turf Seam Tape https://amzn.to/3FkCaJW
This artificial turf seam tape was more than enough adhesive to connect the small seams. I was prepared to use construction glue, but so far didn't need it for these turf seams.
Hammer https://amzn.to/3Jfjmg6
Any hammer will do, but you need one for sure!
Knee Pads https://amzn.to/3FizTPa
I forgot to mention these in my video, but these are a must have. Your knees will thank you!
Sharpies
You'll need sharpies to mark the back of your turf to make cuts along.
Installing artificial in between the pavers was intimidating, but once you get in a good rhythm, it 's smooth nailing, get it?
You can install turf to your pavers!
