How to Install Artificial Grass on Soil Step by Step

Installing on soil requires meticulous preparation to ensure good drainage and prevent subsidence.

1. Ground Preparation

Remove all existing vegetation and apply a total herbicide. Level the ground if needed.

2. Weed-Block Membrane

Essential to stop weeds growing through and to separate the soil from the gravel base.

3. Aggregate Base

Spread a layer of gravel and river sand (mix) about 5-7 cm thick. Compact and water it to settle.

4. Laying the Grass

Unroll the turf, align the seams and join them with seaming tape and two-part polyurethane adhesive.
