Steps for installing plastic grass or turf in your garden:
- Dig the area where you want to install the plastic grass or turf to a depth of about 75mm-100mm, depending on the height of your grass or turf.
- Lay a layer of crushed stones or hardcore over the dug-out area to a depth of about 50mm. This will help with drainage and ensure a stable foundation for the grass or turf.
- Use a vibrating plate or roller to compact the crushed stones or hardcore, making sure the surface is even.
- Add a layer of sharp sand over the compacted stones to a depth of about 20mm-30mm. This will help with drainage and create a smooth surface for the grass or turf.
- Use a rake or leveling bar to ensure the sand is level and even across the entire area.
- Place the plastic grass or turf over the sand, making sure it fits snugly to the edges. Leave the grass or turf to settle for a few hours before proceeding to the next step.
- Apply adhesive to the edge of the grass or turf, and to the concrete border or edge of the area where the grass or turf will be installed.
- Carefully place the edges of the grass or turf onto the adhesive, making sure they are firmly in place.
- Spread a layer of infill material, such as silica sand or rubber crumbs, over the plastic grass or turf to help hold it in place and provide cushioning.
- Brush the infill material into the plastic grass or turf with a stiff-bristled broom to help it settle evenly.
Following these additional steps can help ensure a proper and long-lasting installation of plastic grass or turf in your garden.
