How does it hold down?

Mine is over a very Stoney, dirty cement floor and constantly moves.

I need advice how to keep it in place?

Any special tape? Etc

We had a handyman cut it to size and he also used special heavy duty glue and it does not move at all.

To do it properly, I've heard you need a layer of special pebbles to even out the bumps.

That may be if its on grass, but like the OP who said its on cement, ours in on stone and there are no bumps as the stone is flat.

I don't think such a grass carpet is a good idea.

The best way of dealing with your problem: remove the grass carpet..

Why ever not? My grandparents had a grass carpet thing on their porch for over 30 years. It was wonderful. What could be bad about it?

Second best option for dealing with it:

Clean the surface thouroughly before installing the carpet... Especially: remove stones and fill up holes, so that the carpet will rest on an even surface... Elementary, my dear Watson!

Yes, and after you do what turquoise said, there is a special outdoor two sided tape for intalling it.
Taped with 4 opposing strips (like an asterisk) and then around the perimeter. Works great, but must be on smooth, even surface.

Be careful with carpet o an outdoor porch as it retains moisture and so can degrade the surface below. Many condos prohibit because of the structural damage they cause.
