When terminating against a stone wall or foundation, he says: \u201cIt is better to have a concrete edging around the perimeter and glue the turf down after stretching it and applying the sand infill.\u201d For curved applications where seams must stay invisible, a concrete perimeter edge is again the best solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cutting curves and handling rolling terrain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cUsing a new blade is critical when cutting curves,\u201d Bataller notes. \u201cA sharp blade helps the installer achieve a smoother cut.\u201d For rolling terrain, he advises: \u201cOn a warm, sunny day, roll the turf out and allow it to rest for a few hours. This gives the material time to relax, soften and better conform to the terrain.\u201d When deep undulations create wrinkles, he recommends relief cuts: \u201cThe cut should be seamed back together carefully using seam tape and adhesive, so the transition is secure and the seam is as clean and discreet as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Assessing drainage before laying<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bataller stresses checking three things first: overall slope, gutter discharge points and existing drainage infrastructure. He also advises identifying areas where soil stays wetter, as those show where water settles. Native soil type then dictates the approach: \u201cSandy soils typically allow water to move through more quickly, while clay soils hold water longer. Loam is usually the most balanced.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Managing heat with fiber choice and infill<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDarker tones can contribute to higher surface temperatures, but heat performance is influenced by a combination of color, yarn density, fiber technology and infill,\u201d Bataller says. \u201cCertain yarn shapes and reflective pigments are designed to help deflect or manage heat.\u201d For cooling infills, he recommends water-activated systems like HydroChill and T\u00b0Cool for landscape turf, and organic options for sports fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Successful artificial turf installation depends on attention to detail long before the first piece is unrolled. Following these four principles can mean the difference between a feature that fails and one that performs for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/issuu.com\/eljays44\/docs\/pro_landscaper_usa_may_2026\/46\">full article<\/a><\/strong> in the May issue of Pro Landscaper USA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carlos Bataller, founder and CEO of Realturf USA, shares practical advice on four critical areas: creating clean edges, managing curves and undulations, planning drainage and controlling heat.
