- Now that your yard has been prepped, it’s time to lay your base material that will go below your turf lawn to absorb water and prevent uneven pooling. Your base material can consist of stones or gravel smaller than 3/8 inches, crushed rock, or decomposed granite. You will need enough base material to add a three to four-inch layer on top of the soil to ensure your yard has adequate drainage.
- Once the base material is in place, it’s time for the fun part — laying out your artificial grass! Roll out your turf lawn over the area where it is being installed and allow it to sit in the sun for half an hour. If you skip this step, the artificial turf may expand after you cut it to fit the space, causing you to do rework by recutting the grass. Keep in mind that if you are working with multiple rolls of artificial turf, you want to ensure the blades are all aligned in the same direction for a seamless and natural appearance.
