The process
As an experienced artificial turf installer, we ensure every step is done properly:
1. Clearing the Area
First, any existing grass, weeds, and debris are removed from the backyard. This step ensures a clean slate for the artificial turf installation.
2. Ground Leveling and Weed Barrier Installation
Next, the ground is levelled to create a smooth surface. A weed barrier is then installed to prevent any future weed growth, maintaining the pristine look of the artificial turf.
3. Creating a Stable Base
A layer of crushed stone or gravel is spread across the area and compacted. This provides a stable foundation for the turf, ensuring it remains even and secure.
4. Rolling Out and Securing the Turf
The artificial turf is rolled out over the prepared base. It is then cut to fit the specific dimensions of your backyard and secured in place with landscaping staples or adhesive.
5. Adding Infill
Finally, infill material such as sand or rubber is brushed into the turf. This helps to keep the blades upright and enhances the durability and appearance of your new lawn.
