With the passage of time, the use of synthetic turf or fake grass has certainly gained prominence. You can get it installed in your lawn or garden to provide a more sophisticated and classy look. All you need to do is follow a few simple steps to get a cleaner, professional looking installation. However, a little effort and attention is required to get the self-satisfaction in the end.

Removing the natural grass or weeds

For the removal of the existing turf, the best equipment is a sod cutter. Either you can rent the sod cutter from local tool shop or you can even purchase it. One of the optimum benefits of utilizing the useful instrument that they mow down the grass evenly and smoothly.  They are less destructive in comparison to existing water lines. You can roll the grass and then dispose it off. It saves a lot of time. The next step is excavating the turf to about at least two inches. It would be much better to get it professionally installed rather than opting for the DIY technique. To make the edges clean, the grass installer might use two types of perimeter, which includes Timber Perimeter and the Concrete perimeter.

• While using the timber perimeter, a standard size is used for the actual perimeter, which is approximately about 100mmx50mmx25mm in measurement. The stakes of a specific measurement help in their separation, which primarily depends on the size jobs and surface of the ground. The stake timbers are fixed into the perimeter.
•  Another option is concrete perimeter. The synthetic turf installers will utilize this technique in case the first alternative does not work out. A square pillet measuring approximately about seventy-five millimetre of quick setting is blended for jobs that include circles and radius work.

Preparing the Base

For an ideal preparation of the base, one has to make use of various types of aggregates. However, it will largely depend on the type of the surface of the ground. In case the percentage of heavy clay is towards the higher side in the soil, the best option is to lay a crushed MOT type stone. It helps to eliminate the possibilities of water accumulation precisely after a long and heavy downpour. To make the surface of the artificial grass more compact, the professionals can make use of grit or sand. However, to cover and solidify the entire base geo-textile membrane is used, which also prevents it from weeds.
