US 10,472,775 B2 · Artificial turf edging system and method

Abstract

A method and system for providing an artificial turf edge. In one embodiment, the method includes: providing a first layer of base material along a perimeter of the artificial turf area; placing at least one raised border piece on top of the first layer of base material and thereafter securing the at least one raised border piece to the first layer of base material, wherein the at least one raised border piece includes a main wall that extends upwardly and at a predetermined angle away from an external surface adjacent to the artificial turf area; providing a second layer of base material over at least a portion of the first layer of base material, wherein the second layer of base material is confined by the at least one raised border; placing an artificial turf material over the second layer of base material and over the main wall; and securing the artificial turf material to the second layer of base material and the at least one raised border piece, wherein a level of the second layer of base material confined by the at least one raised border piece is higher than a level of the external surface.

A method of forming a raised, inclined edge for an artificial turf area, the method comprising:

providing at least one raised border piece along a perimeter of the artificial turf area, wherein the at least one raised border piece includes a main wall configured to extend upwardly and away from an external top surface adjacent to the artificial turf area, wherein the main wall extends away from the external top surface at a first predetermined angle;
providing at least one layer of base material in the artificial turf area to be confined by the at least one raised border;
placing an artificial turf material over the at least one layer of base material and over the main surface of the at least one raised border piece;
and securing the artificial turf material to the at least one layer of base material and the at least one raised border piece, wherein the artificial turf material comprises a plurality of artificial turf blades that extend outwardly and away from the main wall, and wherein a level of the at least one layer of base material confined behind the at least one raised border piece is higher than the external top surface.
