Seaming two pieces together can be considered the most important and difficult part of artificial grass installations. I always recommend people to use professional installers to get the best results of seaming work. In general, here is some guidelines to follow:
1. Making sure that the fibers of two pieces of turf facing the same direction. All artificial grass are considered as "directional" as when we roll them up and pack them, the fibers will be pressed down and facing toward one direction. When you are getting different pieces of the artificial grass, and piecing them together, you need to be aware of such directional situations and make sure to have the pieces facing the same direction before seaming them.
2. You will need to do a good cut on both pieces to leave perfect space along the stitch lines so when you piece them together, the distance between the two pieces are the same as your turf's stitch gauge (the distance between two stitch line). Make sure to have your cut straight on both pieces.
3. You will need seaming tape, nails and glues to get the two pieces of turf together. Please visit these links for all the necessary seaming materials:

4. Considered your sub base is done perfectly and ready for the installation, you will first lay the seaming tape so the seam will be right in the middle of the seaming tape. Then, using nails to secure the seaming tape onto your sub base, nailing to be about 6" apart.
5. Once seaming tape is secured, you should double check the seaming of the two pieces of the turf looks perfect to you while they are still loose, once satisfied, you can flip open the two pieces and apply glues on your seaming tape, be extra carefully as you do not want to have glues over spill to your turf.
6. Slowly flip down the two pieces onto the glued seaming tape, make minor adjustments to make sure the seam looks perfect to you, wait for the glue to cure.
7. Use nails on both pieces along the seam line to provide extra strength: nailing schedule to be every 4"-6".
8. Brush and provide infill

 | John Vaccarezza I prefer calling an installer because seaming will require hard work. One mistake and your artificial grass will shed. |
 | Jacqui Swecker This advice is so effective! However, I think I should just contact a professional in doing this job cause I don't want to mess up with the grass. |
