Laying artificial turf on your own can be a satisfying home upgrade that transforms your yard into a low-maintenance area that looks vibrant in every season. Start by planning your layout by calculating the dimensions where you want to install the grass and drawing a basic plan. This ensures you order the right amount and identifies where seams will be necessary. Purchase 5–10% more than estimated to handle irregular shapes.

Next, remove the existing grass and soil using a shovel or sod cutter to remove the top layer of grass and 2–4 inches of underlying earth beneath. Ensure full removal of weed stumps, stones, and litter. Don’t skip this phase for achieving a smooth, even surface.

When the substrate is exposed, grade the surface by spreading topsoil with a garden rake and a long board or level to verify flatness. Fill in low spots with additional soil and Shave down raised areas. Compact the soil using a motorized compactor to prevent settling later. A solid base ensures your lawn maintains its appearance over time.

Now lay down a layer of crushed stone or decomposed granite about 25mm deep for drainage and stability. Spread it uniformly and compact it with pressure.

When the turf is fastened, Distribute base material across the surface like silica sand or rubber granules over the surface. Sweep with a stiff-bristle broom to settle material into the pile. This is essential to maintain blade upright posture, reduces shifting, and improves durability.

Lightly comb the turf with a stiff broom in the natural grain to lift them up and give a natural look. Clean up any debris and rinse the surface lightly with water to settle the infill.

The installation is finished and functional. With professional-quality setup, it can endure 15–25 years with minimal upkeep. Clear organic matter weekly and rake gently every few weeks to prevent flattening.
