Drawing Out the Plan

WHY IT MATTERS

Planning your turf layout before cutting or placing rolls ensures a clean, seamless, and natural-looking artificial lawn.

Improper planning can lead to visible seams, inconsistent color, awkward joints, and excessive material waste.

What You Need to Know

ROLL SIZES

PGB Turf is supplied in two standard roll widths:

These dimensions allow maximum flexibility and minimal waste when covering a variety of landscape shapes and sizes.

PILE DIRECTION

Artificial turf has a directional grain caused by the lean of the blades.

It’s essential to:

Install rolls with blades leaning toward the most commonly viewed direction (e.g., toward the house or patio).
Never mix directions—all turf pieces should be laid in the same grain direction.

How to Use Roll Widths to Plan

Measure the Area

Start by measuring the total width and length of your installation area.

Choose Roll Configuration

Pick roll sizes that cover the area efficiently:

A 30 ft wide yard = two 15 ft rolls side-by-side.
A 22 ft wide yard = one 15 ft and one 7.5 ft roll. You’ll have a side seam between the two.

Pro Tip

Always use side seams, never head seams (seams at the ends of rolls), to maintain blade direction and eliminate visual breaks.

Planning Turf Roll Direction

DETERMINE THE VIEWING ANGLE

Where will the turf be most viewed from? Usually the home, patio, or walkway. Roll out turf so that the grain leans toward this primary angle.

KEEP THE GRAIN DIRECTION CONSISTENT

Always align rolls in the same direction. Inconsistent grain direction results in:

Front yards

Orient blades towards the street.

Backyards

Orient blades towards the house or primary viewing area.
