Turf comes in fixed roll widths and every strip must run the same direction. See the rolls, seams, infill and base for your area.
How it works
Width ÷ roll width gives strips, each cut to length plus 6 inches of trim. Strips × roll width × length is what you buy, even where you will trim some off.
Before you order
- Keep the pile running the same direction on every strip so seams disappear.
- Lay out the roll width to minimize seams in the most visible part of the yard.
- Compact the base before laying turf, because dips show right through.
