Pre-installation

• Remove existing materials. Are there any unwanted
  things like weeds, soil, or other substances
  above ground? You need to uncover the underneath
  wiring, irrigation system, and pipes.
• If you have installed some sprinkle system,
  drainage or other irrigation systems, then you
  may have to relocate them or modify the existing
  lines.
• When there are any wiring or electrical
  sprinklers, move them away from the hardscape.
  You eliminate the chances of accidental damage by
  doing this.
• Experts suggest installing bender board. It gives
  a clean line and separation for the plants or
  bed.

Prepare the base

• Install the base material. It is a mix of sand
  and gravel. Apply a coating of three inches or
  more.
• Level and drainage system are important aspects
  while preparing the base.

5
Compaction

• It is achieved by vibrating and tamping the
  gravel. Roll it to create a solid base.
  Additional leveling and grading are done at this
  time.

Fitting the turf

• The turf should be over cut by one inch along the
  edge. Thus, you can tuck the turf well.
• For seaming, proper seaming tools should be used.
  Line it up well.
• The cutting has to be done in an s-shape so that
  the turf pieces dont push each others angles.
  If it happens, then it gives an illusion of
  discoloration and impacts the appearance.
• The ideal distance to install nails is six
  inches.
• It prevents the movement of the turf. Make sure
  the nails are not driven deeply in the ground. It
  will pull down the turf and create dimples on the
  surface.
• U-nails should be installed at every six inches.

7
Tuck the edges well

• You should hide the edges of the turf by using a
  metal bar against the edging border or hardscape.
  Thus, you get a plush, clean look. It appears
  near identical to the natural grass.

8
Apply filler

• The grains of the grass needs to be pulled to
  stand up using a heavy bristled brush. You should
  apply infill sand after that. It is a safe option
  for pets or kids.
• Spread the granules through the installation
  evenly. Filler acts as a balance to keep the
  blades of the turf upright.

9
Grooming

• Use a power brush to groom the artificial
  turf. Granules are inserted into the base for
  stability and settlement. Remove the debris if
  any. Your artificial grass lawn is ready.
