For the easiest way to install & hold down artificial turf use Sandbaggy 4 inch Galvanized Artificial Turf Nails (also known as artificial grass nails). No more brittle plastic stakes or flimsy landscape staples, our turf nails won’t bend during installation even in hard rocky soils.
Once installed these spiral landscape spikes won’t budge! The spiral design ensures a quick and reliable hold, preventing any shifting or loosening of the artificial turf. Crafted to endure even the harshest conditions, our nails are uniquely constructed to be stronger than our competitor's nails.

For turf installation, it is recommended to use specially designed turf nails or stakes. Galvanized steel spiral turf nails are an excellent choice. These nails offer superior durability, preventing them from bending or breaking during installation, and the spiral design ensures a secure hold on the artificial turf, preventing it from coming loose over time.
The most commonly used size for artificial turf nails is 6 inches in length. These 6-inch nails provide sufficient anchoring power to secure the turf firmly to the ground, making them suitable for various landscaping applications.
To effectively nail down turf aka synthetic grass, follow these steps:
The number of turf nails you need depends on the size and shape of the area you are covering with artificial turf. As a general guideline, you should use approximately 20-30 turf nails per square yard of turf. However, it is always a good idea to have some extra nails on hand to ensure you have enough to secure the entire turf properly.
Both turf staples and nails are used to secure artificial turf, but they have some differences. Turf staples are U-shaped and are typically made of metal or plastic. They are quick and easy to install and are a popular choice for securing the edges of the turf. However, they may not provide as strong of a hold as nails, especially in challenging terrains.
On the other hand, turf nails, especially the galvanized steel spiral design, offer better anchoring power and are ideal for securing the entire surface of the artificial turf. They are more durable and less likely to come loose over time, making them a preferred choice for a long-lasting and reliable installation.
