Transform Your Yard with Synthetic Grass: A Step-by-Step Installation Process

To prepare the base for your artificial grass, spread a layer of builder’s sand to create a level surface and compact it with a tamper or 2X2 piece of plywood and rubber hammer until it is firm. Then spread a layer of crusher dust that is free from any large rocks and then tamp again. The grading of the base material is very important for drainage, so use a bubble level, string, and a landscaping rake to grade flat surfaces to a 2-3% slope (a 2-3 foot drop per 100 feet) towards any drain or curb.

Once the base is finished and tamped, you can roll out your artificial turf. Stretch it with a carpet stretcher shortly before seaming to eliminate wrinkles and help reduce expansion caused by heat. Once you’ve stretched the turf, brush it down evenly with a push or power broom to make the blades stand up and look natural.
