TurfCraft - The Ground Beneath You. A Practical Guide to the History, Science, and Craft of Synthetic Turf - Michael Moore McCaskill

TurfCraft: The Science, Craft and Care of Synthetic Turf is a practical guide to designing and building high performance synthetic turf systems for residential and commercial landscapes based on decades of hand-on experience in turf installation, drainage, irrigation, and Arbor care. This book explains how successful synthetic turf projects are built from the ground up. Covering everything from turf fibers and manufacturing to site preparation, base construction, drainage design, geotextile, edging, seaming, anchoring, hygiene and long term maintenance, TurfCraft teaches readers how to approach synthetic turf as a complete system rather than a surface product. The book also explores water management, soil protection, tree integration and environmentally responsible installation practices that help systems last longer and perform better over time. Written for installers, contractors, landscape professionals, architects, facility managers, students, and property owners, TurfCraft is a guide to building synthetic turf systems that are durable, safe, and built to last from the fiber to the foundation.
