You certainly do not want to sabotage your artificial grass installation project by using the incorrect tools. As a result, the first step is to gather the necessary tools. You'll need a shovel, rake, sod cutter, turf nails, garden hose, lawn roller, hammer, lawn spreader, utility knife, chalk or paint, wheelbarrow, measuring tape, stiff bristle broom, and seam tape during the process.

Removing grasses from the topsoil is an important step in preparing the lawn for sod. We efficiently remove organic matter and grass from the topsoil. Removing three to four inches of topsoil is sufficient to make room for your new synthetic grass.

Following that, we grade the soil surface with a rake and lightly water it with our garden hose.

Step3:Aweedbarrier

You do not want to make the mistake of not installing a weed barrier while laying artificial grass. If you are worried about weeds between the grass, then you must lay a barrier prior to the turf.

Step4:Addingthebase material

At this point, the dug-up area must be filled with base material. We used crushed rock, gravel, or granite as the base material, filling the bottom three to four inches.

We also help you with better drainage with the base material.

Step5:Placingthe grass

We lay the turf after successfully preparing the lawn for sod. This process begins with measuring the areas where the turf will be installed and estimating the number of turf strips that can fit in the space.

The turf is then laid out in a grid pattern. We then removed the non-essential parts.

Step6:Connectthejoints

If there are turf joints, you should connect them carefully. To do this, align the grass and fold the joint edges. We make a seamless connection between the edges and secure it with a tube, glue, joining tape, or self-adhesive tape.

Step7:Fastenthe perimeter

To fasten the grass, use grass nails, landscaping anchor pins, galvanised stakes, or grass staples around the outside edges of the grass. We place the nails and pins about 6 inches apart and use a hammer to flatten them. However, we do not hammer it too hard because it may cause dips in the laying of artificial grass.

Step8:Brushtheturf

It is critical to comb them after a successful installation. We use a carpet comb, a push broom, or the back of a rake to clean. After brushing, the process is completed by spreading the infill.
