Switching to artificial turf is a smart move for homeowners looking for a low-maintenance, eco-friendly lawn. Understanding what to expect during turf installation can ease your concerns and help the day go smoothly. Here’s a step-by-step guide.
Prepping the Area
Before the installation begins, your yard will be carefully evaluated. Any existing grass, weeds, or debris will be removed to create a clean slate. This step ensures a stable foundation for your turf products. The installation crew may also regrade the area to ensure proper drainage, which is essential for long-term landscape design success.
Laying the Base
Once the area is cleared, a base layer of crushed rock or decomposed granite is spread evenly. This base is compacted thoroughly to create a smooth and stable surface. Proper base preparation is critical to prevent shifting and maintain the integrity of your turf installation over time.
Turf Placement and Cutting
With the base in place, the turf rolls are laid out and carefully trimmed to fit the landscape design. Installers ensure precise alignment and seamless edges. Depending on your yard’s layout, this step may take time, especially around curves, pathways, or garden features.
Securing and Infill Application
After placement, the turf is secured using landscaping nails or staples. Then, infill material—such as silica sand or rubber granules—is evenly distributed across the turf. This infill keeps the blades upright, provides cushioning, and helps with drainage. It’s a key step in maintaining a natural look and feel.
Final Grooming and Cleanup
Once installation is complete, the turf is brushed to lift the fibers and distribute the infill properly. The team will then clean up any leftover materials, leaving your yard tidy and ready to enjoy. Your new lawn will be immediately usable, with no watering, mowing, or fertilizing required.
Enjoy Your New Landscape
