Artificial Grass Installation Process: What to Expect

Professional artificial grass installation is a multi-step process that determines how natural your lawn looks and how long it lasts. Cutting corners on base preparation is the #1 cause of wavy, uneven synthetic lawns.

Installation Steps Site preparation — Remove existing lawn, weeds, and topsoil to a depth of 50–75mm. Weed barrier — Geotextile fabric laid to prevent future weed growth through the turf. Base layer — Compacted road base or crusher dust, levelled and graded for drainage. Turf laying — Rolls of artificial grass laid, trimmed to shape, and joined with seaming tape. Infill — Silica sand or rubber crumb brushed into the turf to support the blades and add weight. Brushing — Power-brushed to lift the pile and create a natural appearance.
