TOP GREEN Artificial Grass ProfessionalArtificial Grass Glossary

Cutting to Size

Technical term from the TOP GREEN Artificial Grass Glossary – clearly explained based on over 25 years of experience.

Briefly explained

Cutting to size involves precisely cutting the artificial grass rolls to fit edges, corners, and cutouts. Cutting is usually done from the back with a sharp utility knife.

During cutting to size, the artificial grass rolls are adapted to the shape of the area – to lawn edges, flower beds, paths, or drains. A clean cut is crucial for invisible seams and a neat edge finish.

How to Achieve a Perfect Cut

  1. Unroll artificial grass and allow it to acclimatize
  2. Align all rolls in the same laying direction
  3. Cut from the back with a sharp utility knife and a straightedge
  4. Remove edge strips at seams and align edges flush
  5. Change blades frequently to prevent fraying of blades

Account for offcuts

Since artificial grass is supplied in fixed roll widths, offcuts will occur depending on the shape of the area. Plan the rolls in advance to minimize the number of seams. The guide Securing Artificial Grass explains how the rolls are then joined.
