• Clear the Space:
  Remove any existing grass, weeds, or debris from the area where you plan to install the artificial turf. A clean and level surface is crucial for a smooth installation.
• Install Weed Membrane:
  Lay down a weed membrane to prevent weed growth through the artificial grass. Trim the membrane to fit the area, overlapping seams by a few inches and securing with pegs.

Step 3: Install the Base

• Add a Sub-Base:
  Depending on the existing ground conditions, you may need to add a sub-base of crushed stone or granite dust. This helps with drainage and provides a stable foundation.
• Compact the Sub-Base:
  Use a vibrating plate compactor to compact the sub-base, ensuring a firm and level surface for the artificial grass.

Step 4: Unroll and Position the Artificial Grass

• Unroll the Grass:
  Carefully unroll the artificial grass across the prepared area. Ensure the grass fibers face the desired direction for a natural look.
• Trim the Edges:
  Use a sharp utility knife to trim the edges of the artificial grass, leaving a slight overlap for a seamless finish.

Step 5: Join Multiple Pieces (If Necessary)

• Use Seaming Tape:
  If your lawn area requires multiple pieces of artificial grass, use seaming tape to join them. Apply adhesive to the tape, press the edges together, and secure with nails or pegs.

Step 6: Secure the Grass

• Fix with Adhesive:
  Secure the edges and seams of the artificial grass with adhesive. Ensure a strong bond for a durable and long-lasting installation.
• Write Down the Edges:Place weights or heavy objects along the edges of the artificial grass to help it settle and adhere properly.

 Step 7: Add Infill (Optional)

• Spread Sand or Rubber Infill:
  If desired, spread a layer of sand or rubber infill over the artificial grass to add weight and provide support to the fibers. Brush the infill into the grass with a stiff broom or power brush.

Step 8: Brush and Enjoy

• Brush the Grass Fibers:
  Use a stiff broom or power brush to brush the grass fibers upright for a natural and well-groomed appearance.
• Admire Your New Lawn:
  Once the installation is complete, take a moment to admire your transformed outdoor space. With Bargain Grass, you’ve achieved a stunning, low-maintenance lawn that will stay green and vibrant throughout the seasons.
