An Xturf Team Effort
WIN
A contractor ordered the wrong roll sizes for a putting green project, which created more seams than expected. Understandably, the contractor and homeowner were worried about the seams standing out.
Doug and the crew followed proper seam-cutting technique, used XP Glue + Xturf Seam Tape, rolled the seams thoroughly, and weighted them overnight with infill bags.
Result: After brushing and finishing, the seams blended almost seamlessly — and the homeowner was thrilled with the final look.
LESSON LEARNED
Doug emphasized how critical it is to stay involved — starting with the project takeoff all the way through planning and finally installation.
A few things that caused issues:
Improper bedding layer selection for the putting green
Incorrect turf roll sizing
Contractors skipping recommended install practices
“We can guide contractors, but we also need to be honest about what works, what doesn’t, and where we’re still learning as a team.”
PRO TIP
If you don’t know the answer, say so confidently.
Contractors appreciate honesty more than guessing. Lean on the Alliance team for support and follow up quickly with accurate information. Doug utilized Mike and leveraged the knowledge of other teammates throughout the course of the project.
Bonus install tip:
Using a drill + deck screws on pressure-treated edging is much easier than hand-driving spiral nails.
