Installing Artificial Grass on Concrete: Professional Guide
Installing artificial grass for concrete is a great way to create a comfortable, versatile green space. When you choose professional turf installation, you’ll benefit from expert knowledge and craftsmanship that ensures your artificial grass lasts for years.
Whether you’re considering installing artificial turf on concrete for an upcoming project or want to learn more about the process, check out this professional guide from the experts at Biltright Turf.
Can You Install Artificial Grass on Concrete?
Artificial turf can be installed on many surfaces, including concrete. Synthetic grass has become a popular choice for traditionally concrete surfaces, like patios and gyms, because it has a softer feel and natural look without the need for costly maintenance.
Why is Installing Turf on Concrete Different from Other Surfaces?
Concrete is completely safe for turf installation, but some differences exist between installing turf on concrete versus other surfaces. One of the main considerations is knowing how your concrete will drain water. Concrete doesn’t drain as well as surfaces like natural grass, which could lead to standing water and potential mold buildup between the turf and concrete.
To avoid this problem, work with turf installers who can improve the drainage efficiency of your turf. The team at Biltright Turf has advanced technology, like our Optimum Flow backing, that increases drainage rates and keeps turf cleaner, drier, and free of buildup. Advanced drainage technology helps ensure your synthetic grass is problem-free and drains quickly.

So why choose artificial turf for your concrete surface? Check out these benefits:
There are many artificial turf types for all kinds of applications. From residential homes to commercial sports facilities, it’s easy to find the right turf for your concrete surface.
Artificial grass lasts for years with minimal maintenance. It’s designed to withstand wear and heavy foot traffic so you can enjoy your new surface instead of worrying about costly repairs.
The Installation Process
Each turf installation project is unique, but here is an overview of Biltright’s process:
1. Clear the Area
First, we clear the area of debris and dirt to ensure the surface is flat. This step may involve filling in cracks and correcting imperfections. This step also involves assessing the concrete for drainage issues. We’ll drill holes into the concrete if necessary to ensure proper drainage.
2. Lay a Pad
If your surface needs to be extra soft (such as for children or pets), we’ll lay down an impact pad.
3. Lay Turf
Now, our team rolls out your turf, ensuring the blades face the same direction.
4. Cut It To Fit
We’ll cut the turf to fit the space, marking seams on the concrete.
5. Secure Perimeter
We’ll add glue to the base to bind the turf to concrete. Then we’ll trowel the glue into a 12-inch wide layer. As the glue firms up, we’ll move the turf back into place.
6. Add Infill
Finally, we add an infill to keep the blades sticking up. We use a power broom to spread the sand and push it into the base of the grass.
