A finished lawn depends on the preparation beneath it. The following overview explains the main stages; material depths and fixing details must be chosen for the site and product.
Assess the garden first
Check the existing ground, drainage, levels, access and intended use. Agree how the old surface and waste will be removed. Confirm the chosen grass and the full scope in a written quotation.
Prepare the base and edges
The agreed work establishes suitable ground preparation, edging and a stable base. Membrane, aggregate and levelling requirements depend on the installation. Do not cover soft ground or standing-water problems and expect the new grass to resolve them.
Lay and finish the grass
Plan roll layout and pile direction before cutting. Fit joins and edges using compatible materials and the product instructions, including any curing requirements. The finished surface should be checked before use.
Keep the care information
Ask for aftercare guidance and the applicable product and workmanship terms. Regular cleaning and inspection remain part of looking after an artificial lawn.
