When you want to install the artificial grass in your lawn, the first thing that you should do is to measure the amount of grass you need. After that, you need to install a proper drainage system, remove the layer of natural grass. Now you are ready to install the artificial grass in your lawn. In this post, you are going to learn the quick step by step procedure to complete the installation of artificial grass in your lawn. These steps include laying the base, preventing weed from growing, and connecting joints. Let’s discuss this procedure in detail.

Laying the base:

You can use the treated timber or timber stakes to put the grass in the area frame. For good drainage, you can spread the layer of sharp sand to blind over the soil, so it looks natural. After that, you need to compact the ground with the vibrating plates. You can hire these plates from any equipment company. But make sure that the perimeter must be compacted from below the timber with a 1-inch edge. Now, you need to fill that perimeter with the sharp sand and level that sand with a rake. After all this process, you need to make sure that the sand that you have placed is leveled from the top of the timber and compact as well. This is the stage where if you make more effort and do some other stuff as well, then you will have better results with your artificial grass in your lawn.

Weed control layer:

You need to apply the weed control geotextile membrane to secure your artificial grass and cut off the necessary weed as well. You must take it out using a small 1 inch clout nail to timber the edging. It will not allow any kind of weed to grow in your artificial grass or any drainage hole. 

Jointing:

 When you joint your outdoor carpet together, you must ensure that the pile will run the same direction. The accuracy of this joint will define how much will be visible after the completion of this process. You just need to fold back the edges of the carpet and position the joint tape which will smooth the side down. It will help the edges of the carpet to meet the tape when you join them. That’s how you are going to install the artificial grass in your lawn.
