Artificial grass tools help you build a clean, durable, low‑maintenance lawn for homes, putting greens, pet runs, playgrounds, and rooftops. The right setup speeds installation, improves drainage, and keeps seams invisible. Whether you’re a DIYer planning a small balcony or a contractor tackling sports turf, this directory highlights proven tools for base prep, cutting, seaming, infill, and ongoing maintenance—so your synthetic turf looks natural and stays that way.

  • Measuring and layout: tape measure, chalk line or landscape paint, string line, laser level.
  • Removal and base prep: sod cutter, landscape rake, shovel, wheelbarrow, plate compactor or hand tamper, screed rails, hose for moisture, weed barrier fabric.
  • Edging and drainage control: bender board or paver edging, stakes, drainage pipe, geotextile underlayment.
  • Cutting and fitting: turf knife with hooked blades, utility knife, cut-resistant gloves, knee pads.
  • Seaming and fastening: seam tape, turf adhesive, seaming roller, galvanized nails or U-pins, staples for timber edging, carpet stretcher/kicker for wrinkle-free joins.
  • Infill and grooming: drop or broadcast spreader, stiff push broom, power broom, turf rake.
  • Cleanup and care: leaf blower, hose/nozzle, pet enzyme and odor neutralizer, moss and weed treatment.

Pro tips: compact the crushed stone base in thin lifts, lightly wetting between passes; keep blades fresh for clean S‑cuts that hide seams; set edging before turf, then secure with nails or U‑pins every 6–8 inches; brush against the grain after infill to lift fibers. For pet-friendly artificial grass, pair antimicrobial infill with a perforated base and regular enzyme rinse. For putting greens, use fine sand infill, a plate compactor for cup surrounds, and a power broom to dial in speed. Explore tools sized for tight spaces, rooftop installs, and commercial sports fields. With the right tools, synthetic turf installation is faster, safer, and built to drain.
