How to instal plastic grass/turf in your back garden

Steps for installing plastic grass or turf in your garden:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Use a vibrating plate or roller to compact the crushed stones or hardcore, making sure the surface is even.
  4. 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.
  5. Use a rake or leveling bar to ensure the sand is level and even across the entire area.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Carefully place the edges of the grass or turf onto the adhesive, making sure they are firmly in place.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
