A standard installation starts with good preparation. Remove any previous turf together with any paving. Prepare the surface so that it is at a constant level with no bumps or potholes.
Lay a weed control membrane in strips. Overlap the strips and cut it to the required shape. Nail it down into the ground.
Concrete in timbers around the edge of the area to be turfed. These will provide a secure edge for the turf to be fastened to. Position them just below the level of the grass.
To maximize the drainage of rainwater lay a 3 to 4-inch sub-base of type 1. If water drainage is not likely to be a problem a 2-inch base will be fine.
Use 1-inch fine granite dust as the surface the synthetic grass will sit on. Level the base with a Wacker plate.
Install your synthetic grass cutting it to size and using a bolster chisel to press it into the edges. Make any joints with tape and glue. Nail the synthetic grass to the timber edge.
Add kiln dried sand and brush it.
