Artificial Grass Girl

I would suspect that 85% of artificial grass installers do not use Bend-a-Board in their installations.  I would even take it a step further to say that most have not even heard of it.  Bend-a-Board is a unique framing material that can be used to simplify the installation process and add longevity to any artificial grass and artificial putting green installation.

This 1.5" x 1.5" framing material can provide free-form or straight line perimeters.  It is used to provide a secure surface to attach your artificial grass/artificial putting green products.  It also serves to provide a barrier for the top 1.5" of your decomposed granite/CMB.

Basically, Bend-a-Board creates an outline of the installation, giving you something to attach and tuck the grass into.  It creates a neat, finished look.  Most installations simply fold the grass over or tuck it into the ground.  I have even seen installers use an unflattering, visible border that in my opinion looks tacky.  The Bend-a-Board provides longevity to the installation, as well, by anchoring the turf securely.

Bend-a-Board is a recycled product that gets its name from its versatility and ability to bend into any shape.  At my house, we have a round circular planter in the front that was becoming an eyesore because we had continual sprinkler problems in that area.  The solution was to install artificial grass and be done with the watering and mowing.  Knowing that the Bend-a-Board would create a nice, neat circumference, I still had concerns with how the crew would get the Bend-a-Board installed at a constantly curving angle.  Let me tell you, there was no need for concern.
