Installing artificial grass yourself in steps

Installation instructions for artificial grass installation step 1: digging out

Artificial grass installation Step 1: Excavation

Depending on the type of subsoil, dig out the ground until you reach a flat and stable surface. The depth to be dug out depends on the existing subsoil. (1)

  • Cement and sand (screed): ± 10 – 15 cm
  • Compacted material: ± 5 -10 cm

It is recommended to place an edging around the entire perimeter. On the one hand, this guarantees a perfect delineation of the lawn and on the other hand, the edging allows the artificial grass to be secured. The edging is best placed just below the edge of adjacent areas (gardens, terraces, planting, etc.).

Fill the excavated area with a fine crushed stone (0 – 10 mm). Spread this mixture, level, moisten and compact ideally with a vibrating plate. If necessary, finish this layer with a layer of moist loam or angular sand and compact again with a vibrating plate so that a perfectly smooth and even surface is obtained. (2)

After finishing the surface, roll out a anti-root cloth / geotextile over the surface. An overlap of ± 10 cm between the different rolls is optimal. The cloth can optionally be fastened with grass hooks. (3)

Roll out the grass carpet. Be careful when moving and rolling out to avoid wrinkles. Make sure the artificial grass is lying flat everywhere and give it the necessary time to acclimatize. First make a rough cut of the outer edges. To do this, fold the grass carpet over and carefully cut along the back between the pile rows with a sharp knife. Trimming can be done at a later stage.

We recommend placing an artificial grass screw every half (0.5) meter, starting from the corners. With a simple calculation you can calculate exactly how many artificial grass screws you need. Multiply the circumference of your artificial grass field by 2 and you will know the number of screws required.
