SP Lighting
Lighting shall be installed in accordance with NEC 2002 (National Electric Code) regulations unless superseded by local municipal codes and /or regulations.
Hard water overspray from irrigation systems as well as pollen and dirt can build up over time blocking light from an SP Lighting fixture. Such is not covered by this warranty. Growth of landscaping is dependent on a wide range of conditions beyond System Paver’s control. While System Pavers installs and aims SP Lighting fixtures as appropriate at the time of original installation, growth of landscaping or other factors beyond our control may result in the need to adjust SP Lighting fixtures. Such is not covered by this warranty.
SP Turf
Surface to have a natural appearance, which may include rolling undulations and moderate depressions.
There should be no standing water within one hour of a moderate to heavy (2 - 3 inches per hour) rain storm.
Synthetic turf area should be generally free of weeds; no weeds should be rooted through a properly prepared base. Some occasional weed growth may be evident as a result of seeds falling onto the top of the surface. These should be easily removable by hand.
Flex Board or similar bender board edge restraint and or hardscape should surround the entire turf area and turf should be tucked under to form a natural appearing edge.
Seams shall be stable and have a maximum gap of no more than 1/8".
Turf installation area shall be free of ripples or bubbles – may incur some rippling or bubbling on putting greens.
While synthetic turf generally requires less maintenance than natural grass, synthetic turf should be cleaned and groomed periodically. The frequency will be determined by the type and frequency of use. To prevent substantial matting, especially in high traffic areas, your turf may require professional grooming from time to time.
