At this point, you need to make the ground nice and level. Even if it looks fairly level right now, it still pays to make the extra effort needed to be absolutely sure.
This is most easily done by adding a layer of sand on top of the base materials already in place. Just a centimeter of two of sand will make it a lot easier for you to get a smooth and level surface.
A piece of wood is all that you need in order to smooth and level the sand. With this done you are ready to move on to the next step safe in the knowledge that you have a great base to lay the carpet on.
On the other hand, if your garden is really bumpy then you may need to sort this out before you even start the process of adding your new turf.
Cut the Grass to Size
You now need to make sure that you have exactly the right size and shape of artificial grass by cutting it. This is another job that is a good deal easier than you might think, although you definitely want to take some time over it to get it right.
Before you do this, there is also the option of laying down a shock-absorbing layer for a more comfortable and cushioned feel. Of course, if you are buying high-quality artificial grass, then it will already be nicely cushioned and comfortable to walk on.
Having taken this option into consideration, you are now ready to cut the turf itself. You can start this by looking at the space you need to cover and working out how best to lay it down.
With a utility knife and spirit level, you can do a professional job at this stage before moving to the best part of all. You should lay down the grass and make sure that it fits perfectly while you are cutting, to avoid the risk of making it too small in any part.
