A synthetic turf seam integration template system and method is provided that includes a template having a planar base including a longitudinal non-cutting edge and an opposing longitudinal cutting edge. The longitudinal cutting edge is not straight but has a predetermined curvature. In one aspect, a through-cut viewing slot extends longitudinally offset a predetermined distance from said non-cutting edge. Variations of the predetermined curvature patterns are disclosed. An optional connector allows connection of two templates to create a longer template for usage on longer seams. Also disclosed are methods of using the seam integration tool in creating an undetectable seam in synthetic turf.
