Simmons. I am very impressed with Dave Maronic
and his team for providing us this turf for the Drake Memorial because it is
very special thing for us since we have a vet hospital, and now we have
a Memorial Park that is absolutely spectacular. The turf is just made it
wonderful" . It is no falling apart
anywhere. The perception, that they have now of our park is that
it looks like an Augusta National Golf Course, and clients. Carpet (artificial grass) is not separating. "We have large dogs running at high speeds turning on
a dime. There are no smell issues at all. "
- said Dr. We've had absolutely no flooding, "We've been using this product for the better part of
ten months, some rain storms have come through that were quite substantial
and and.
Below is the full transcript .
And edging things impeccable, trimming and, that's critical and, as always during this process there will be a lot of
clipping. The
details make all the difference .
And then it's brushed very
aggressively with a broom to settle into the carpet . To keep it from fluffing around, and the final stage is to apply sand in quantity to weigh
carpet down.
Simmons' stated: "They (police
dogs) are currently classified as equipment, - the depreciable equipment with
no value when they are retired. Dr, in the interview to local news. Do dogs deserve some form of status? Hero
Status really" .
The good
example of it is our Pet turf 85. As an installer you must pay an extra
attention to details and, designed for an immaculate drainage, the backing
of this product has no stitch lines. And some of it needs special care during the installation, global Syn-Turf produces more than 65 several lines of artificial
grass.
In spite of
heroic efforts by the best veterinarians in the country, drake didn't make it
He. passed away five days later after shooting . Fallen protecting us, we are honored to be a part of the remembrance of Drake and
other police canine companions. He was a German Shepherd retired from a force. 18
2012, drake was shot four times on November.
And end up with a good seam, you can't turn the carpet
perpendicular to itself. Tamping it down and
doing all the prepping that needs to be done and Once you finished placing the rock, the next step is roll out the
carpet. The company that worked
for us did a terrific job. So the carpet is laid out in its
approximate location as the first step and trimmed to fit the location . Coastal Synthetic Turf has some technicians that were
able to make the seams completely invisible. And this is a very key step because the carpet needs to be rolled
out, so the grain matches anywhere you seam it.
Large, and then a piece of double-sided, white material is laid
down, create a perfectly
nice seam and and nailed to the ground such that when the turf is applied to the top of
the glue that would be laid on top of that will stick. To make sure the edges match up
perfectly, any place where the seam is required with the dog's turf s
really-really significant to take a time.
Ultimately you can however cover it with the turf and, if you encounter something that needs to be remained in its
current position, identify it and place it in the protective box or cabin of
some sort, and allow
yourself access at the later date .
You need to be very careful and identify all those
things. Cables, antennas, so you must be careful because of the
sprinkler pipes, water lines, electrical wires, whatever
might be in the ground. There is actually quite a lot to this first stage of
removing the fill that is there. So you don't have to dig it
physically up to get to it , they need to be relocated outside of the
perimeter of where the turf is going to be laid, if there are sprinkler zones.
The goal behind this whole process is to give yourself a
fairly important drainage system beneath the carpet so that when water is
applied to it in a terrific quantity, directly to the
drain system and it flows to the carpet.
An inexpensive product, and here is where you are really want to be an
opposite to thrifty. Which is a fine concrete dust, and
follow it with a concrete screening, but the very next step is to bring the
rock in, give yourself at least
six to eight inches of base rock compacted, then go over it with a compactor and, approximate the level, and you are going to end putting a
concrete screening over the top of this. It's essentially septic drain fill rock
It's. That would be
about four-inch bed . That would
be laid on top of the septic drain rock and compacted as well. You want to use a lot of this rock. Once the fill has been removed to a measured grade, the next
step is bringing in number 57 rock.
Once the seam is placed together on top of the glue, carpet
is actually nailed to the ground to guarantee that it stays tight to the seam .
Once the seams are completely finished, large, heavy bags of
sand are laid across a scene to make sure they are hold up together .
Probably a four-inch wide curb 6 or 8 inches deep that allows
you to tack turf to the curb , you need to replace it with a
concrete curb, but where there is nothing. existing paver or walkways that have a concrete edging can be used to
attach the turf. It can be used nicely
Even, if you have an existing sidewalk. You are going to encounter
the places in your project that do not have linear or a hard surface upon which
to attach the turf, during the removal of the fill. That's where you need to pour a concrete curb to give
yourself that option.
DrDr, thank you. Ken Simmons gives a complete overview of the
project done at the Memorial and the quality guide to every step of the
installation process. Simmons! . The video has been captured at K-9 dedicated Drake and other
fallen police dogs Memorial in Greenacres, florida where GST donated one of our
best products - PetGrass-85.
The
very first step is to take away the existing material that's in your park, once you are committed to the idea that you are going to
spend the money to have your natural turf replace with an synthetic turf. Depending on the value of dogs that are going to
be playing in the park, up to 8, maybe even 10 inches of fill, other products and, so you end up
with a space that can then be packed with the drain rock, suggestion is to take out, and so
my.
It dies from the urine
It, often dies from malady, where lots of dogs
are playing at the daily basis, very friendly and although
beautiful, if you already own a dog care facility, you know that typical grass. Gets wet with puddles from rain, all of
your pets are playing in this and, and it turns into a mud bath.
And the like sometimes can be in the middle of your project, around any objects that might be left behind
trees, you want to take extra care to make sure the details are
done correctly on the curb edge. And this part is
very critical . You want to
cut around those trees and put some formed curb around them. Tamp it down and you do
the same thing, tamped as a
wet rock and The rock should be moistened with water, once the septic drain rock is tamped down, ultimately, five inches of concrete screen on top and and you
are going to lay this four, and. Compacting the septic drain rock as well as the concrete
screening is the indispensable part for this, needs to be done very carefully
and very meticulously and. But very permeable surface
when you finished, it will be surface.
