Many people wonder if they are able to install artificial grass themselves. If you have the time and the right tools you can install synthetic turf yourself. We are happy to give you the advice and tips you need!
Excavating Your Area
The tools required to install your Tauro Turf will all depend on your area of installation. If you have a new build, there may be little need for excavation. However, if you are not a new build and have existing natural grass or sand, then excavation will be required. We recommend digging 70-100mm down in order to fill the area with 50-80mm of cracker dust. This can be done either by hand or hiring a bobcat.
Ensure the soil is level before laying the cracker dust because this will give the best results. To do this we recommend using a soil leveler, but the back of a rake will also do the trick. Evenly distribute the cracker dust over the excavated area. Once you have evenly spread out the cracker dust, we recommend wetting it down with a hose before using a compactor to create a firm base. A plate compactor compacts the cracker dust thoroughly and evenly and can be hired. Once you have created a firm base your area is ready for artificial grass.
