I wish I could post the pictures here to show everyone. We did skip the step of the rocks & paste mixture, and only did rocks and dirt, and compacted that. For the most part we have a nice smooth finish, my guess is that over time we may have some dips here and there. Nevertheless, I'm 100% happy, and I hope that anyone considering laying down turf, finds this video.

In Scandinavia, the popularity of artificial turf is so great that it's causing a huge disposal problem. It doesn't degrade. It's not recyclable.

@@lechatbotte. , a volcanic eruption does not put out more CO2 than mankind, but that's ignorance for you. Someone memed that falsehood, idiots latched onto it, but it's been thoroughly debunked. You should pay better attention. Volcanos emit about 200 million tons of CO2 yearly. Human activity produces about 24 billion tons yearly. The oceans emit CO2 (decomposition) and absorb CO2 (aquatic plant growth) for a net change of zero. The same is true of forests. Trees decompose, they emit CO2. Trees grow, they absorb CO2. Humans produce CO2, and never absorb it back. The plants have to absorb it, but then the plants eventually die, and release all the carbon they had absorbed.

Like 7 years ago, we were in a drought in California and our landscaping company would get a lot of requests for synthetic grass.

I travel a lot and volunteer with Veterans so ZERRO yard maintenance is my goal. Long story short(er) -- skeptic here, decided to remove for free his scraps. I pieced them (and created a Very Nice lawn...just to see how it weathered the northwest winter rain). In short, I LOVE it. 0ne 7.5' x 60' roll should easily do half my project. I can then cut existing pieces into 1' x 1' squares to alternate with 1' x1' pavers. YeeHa and Yippy-Ki-Yaa. Yes I am a bachelor. Yes I have 3 robo vacuums; 1 for my bdrm, 1 for living rm and hall, 1 for kitchen n laundry. Yes I have a dog...now I only sweep once a day...just kidding...I open the doors and let the wind blow the hair out. Yes I have fake plants and yes I have a gas fireplace. Yes I live 2mi from the lake. LIFE IS SWEET. 🙂👍 (do not contact me for marriage. I got this figured out)

I guess it would depend how big your yard is but how much money would a project like this take? an approximate

[@theanxiousmammal8924]

@@Alvy691 Including materials like infill and nails, it is about $3-$4 per square foot. This also depends on type and weight of grass. But I paid $750 to have 250 sq ft delivered with nails and infill. It is more if you need to get padding or decomposed granite layer below.

[@sararichardson737]

How is it when leaf raking? I have year round leaf fall and small berries through summer.

[@silverback3541]

Great video one suggestion though. Cut all the rows with sod cutter. Get a day laborer, rent a dump trailer about $150.00 per day. Pay the dump fee for weight. Total cost probably $300. Bill it in the quote from the beginning. Save your back and wear and tear on your truck. I learned the hard way.

[@thomasharris5151]

How much was your project and what size area did you install it on? Thanks

[@Pch100]

Very well done. But I added an extra layer of weed mate on top of the crushed rock but apart from that I did the same as you. No more mowing no more grass burn in summer. Always looks 👌

[@crushssoda]

[@blackh2o1]

I don't know if this is available everywhere but I live in Central Ohio and our county cooperative extension service sells the landscape cloth by the lineal foot from a 20' roll. The locals call it "cow carpet" because it is often used by farmers underneath gravel to create areas for cattle to keep them from beating the stone into the ground. It's cheaper than buying at the big box stores and eliminates multiple seams and reduces the amount of staples needed.

And 600lbs of plastic turf! And what's even worse, a good part of those plastic pelets would end up washed into the drainage and eventualy rivers and oceans!

[@GrecoRider]

I guess neither you nor Stormtrooper decided to calculate the amount of water saved vs the polypropylene used in this install. The environmental impact is in favor of artificial turf as opposed to watering every other day for eternity

[@mateusssssss567]

@@GrecoRider Well, in his particular case, he stated in the video that the lawn wasn't watered before, so there was no environmental impact. Installing plastic grass kind of made things worse. I won't judge the guy for wanting his house to look nice, but there's no gain for the environment here.

[@RyanGrenz]

@@mateusssssss567 I feel the same way but I can see how it would be better for the environment to use turf. And it’s not just “plastic” like forever lasting, turtle killing plastic. But it is a concern still! But no more mowing even if he had used an electric mower. Don’t need to do maintenance on the mower. No chemicals on the lawn to make it look better and to kill weeds. I don’t think the water usage is a good argument, not just because he didn’t use much water anyways. But also because water is good for the environment, but overwatering or using a lot of water puts a lot of strain on the environment when it comes to getting the water to the property. I’d feel differently if it was on a well but assuming he gets city water it would cost a lot too. But I feel like having natural grass would be better for plant life/insects/animals. For me I would want real grass, even if it doesn’t come out this “perfect”. I guess it really just depends on what the person wants or what they feel is best?

[@cbulldoglove5879]

@@GrecoRider what about all the round up???

[@vdgitaliano]

I love my turf since I installed it a few years ago... but... there are a couple of things I wish I'd known before hand. Turf doesn't absorb the heat like grass does. The synthetic material acts like a barrier reflecting sun and heat back up. In Texas the heat can be unbearable. Being outside mid-day is at times impossible because the reflected heat from the turm makes it stifling. Also, the smell for the first few months was hard. This stuff is rubber and plastic so it off-gasses. With my asthma it was a challenge but worth it. Additionally, no one talks about the fade and dulling factors or the slip factor. When it's new, it gets slippery when wet, so if you are on an incline watch out. And because it is plastic it oxidizes and starts to lose a little color. I couldn't afford to do the whole yard at the same time, though I'd purchased all the turf at once, it was the labor that killed me. When I installed the next section one year later there was quite a difference. I used some conditioners that helped blend the two and wished I'd done it from the start because sine then the newer section has faded very little. So in the long run I would do it again, but would plan better for the shortcomings of turf because there are a few.

[@mptemplin]

But honestly if its that hot outside especially Texas heat who goes out and plays in the yard? I'm getting ready to DIY fir my backyard in Boise. We get 100+ Temps in summer. We ain't going in the yard, we'll stay under the patio until fall, spring & winter

[@joshnixon2917]

@@mptemplin The heat transfer is so much different than grass. You can feel the heat radiating from the turf while sitting in the shade near the edge of my patio. Grass actually helped keep backyard cool. We had dirt only for a few weeks and the heat is far greater than when the grass was growing.

Now you gotta do the same to the backyard lol I am definitely using this video as reference to do my front and backyard. Living in Arizona is too difficult to keep your lawn nice and green during summer. You have to use waay too much water. And just having rocks looks really boring. So I want the synth stuff that doesn't get damaged easily with the heat here but also doesn't get extremely hot with sun shining on it all day.

[@Tobynsocks]

At 2 in deep a cubic yard of material(mulch) will cover 162 square feet. You have 810 square feet. However because you're doing a small Stone it doesn't cover the same as a mulch or a larger Stone. So the ratio is slightly off when you look at charts online. Cubic yard of mulch will cover more than a cubic yard of stone because the stone is more dense the pieces are smaller so it packed tighter. So when buying small Stone the ratio is a little smaller closer to 120 square feet. Same for dirt/loam.

Weeds ALWAYS grow thru fabric barriers and end up being 10x more difficult to pull out .

[@denispearse-si1oo]

Thanks for the info, man. I have to do this in my back yard... those shorts are epic, by the way.

[@dianahall8069]

By just widening your very narrow shrub bed by 3’, you could have had a seamless install. Beautifully edited & informative video.

[@81BOOKS]

Best part is you never have to: A) water your grass B) cut the grass C) water your grass D) all of the above lol Maintenance free & beautiful year round. Homerun!

Et tue le sol et tout ce qui est censé y vivre... ☹️

[@marymann6407]

Thank you for the great video .l feel confident now to do my little back yard than paying £2000

[@carlosmaldonado2313]

Best DIY I’ve found so far wow!!!!! Very detailed!!!

[@TrevorEditor]

I'm baffled that anyone actually thinks this looks appealing or even real. Sure you aren't watering or mowing it, but this turf will eventually need to be replaced and just end up in a land fill. Great work none the less.

[@mythicaldee3400]

So cool.. let's replace all the trees with synthetic trees too.

[@bettymac8248]

wow this was an incredible video

[@rocketraccoon1976]

Just keep your natural grass and spray paint it green with non-toxic paint every once in a while.

[@simoneam2571]

Beautiful 👏 ! Love your slow and methodical process and explanation! Ty

[@ns5337]

He makes it look so easy! I have been getting quotes of 10k just to install 550 SF! No way. I just ordered and continue to search for someone to install it in Lithonia GA. I need him to come to install it at my house! Darn I'm tired just watching him! I wonder how much he spent.

[@ulisesflores5142]

The fact that you guys took over almost the whole street it grinds my gears. I swear some people feel so entitled..

[@lesw3803]

I would love to see an update. Nice job!

[@MaxMakerChannel]

Is that plastic filling material biodegradable? Looks to me like pre-made micro plastics. Ready to flow into the ocean.

[@BYOTools]

Don't know how this stuff will make its way into the ocean from my house but I understand what you're getting at haha. I don't believe so since it is mean to remain on the lawn for proper weight distribution on the grass. I'll ask SmartTurf though. Thanks for watching Max and hope you enjoyed the video.

[@Utoobhero]

It is actually just really fine sand treated with green dye, and microband!

[@MaxMakerChannel]

BYOT If it was plastic, the rain would wash it down. Like micro plastics in shampoo. One day it would end up in the ocean. But if its sand than its ok of course.

[@greeneyedalphawolf]

excellent video! all the details I needed to know before considering taking on this project for a doggy play area in the backyard (where they have killed all living things and only a dessert of dirt remains)

[@uniko236]

Great job, looking foward to do it on mines

[@teres3993]

It looks absolutely beautiful! Hard work pays off!👍🌳🐕

[@teres3993]

@Dan S that's your opinion, mine is different!

[@jwear21]

How much did this total project cost?

[@SmartTurf]

We have a calculator to help calculate for your area. smartturf.com/product/buy-cypress-point/

[@alhuawu7988]

Hello, sorry to bother you, I am an Amazon seller, do you need free turf? We are currently engaged in evaluation activities need comments.

[@siyabonganhlakaniphomatheb1039]

Really appreciate the re-worked Mariam Makheba track at the end! A song very fitting🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦 I enjoyed watching the process!

[@kinggomda7739]
