When getting ready for artificial turf installation thorough site preparation is crucial to achieve a durable, polished finish. Start by removing all existing vegetation including grass, weeds, roots, and debris. Utilize a mechanical sod remover or hand tool to excavate the surface soil. This action stops regrowth beneath the synthetic layer and provides a pristine substrate.

Once the area is clear, smooth the terrain using a rake and a leveling tool to identify uneven areas. Patch low areas with crushed rock, decomposed granite, or angular aggregate. Shave down elevated sections until the ground has a subtle gradient to prevent pooling near foundations and sidewalks.

After leveling, add a boundary edge along the outer edge. This can be made from plastic, metal, or wood in alignment with your landscaping theme.

Next, lay down a layer of crushed rock or decomposed granite about 5 to 8 cm in depth. Use a plate compactor to firmly press it down in sections. Re-compact if settling occurs to ensure complete density and stability.

A second layer of finer material such as sharp sand can be applied over the base for fine-tuned contouring and 熊本 人工芝 施工 to help with drainage. Sweep this layer evenly and compact it lightly. Avoid over-watering at this stage as it risks destabilizing the substrate.

Re-survey the terrain for flatness and make minor adjustments before proceeding.

Lastly, locate and mark all underground services like irrigation pipes or wiring are clearly labeled and safeguarded. Keep the area free from foot traffic until the synthetic grass is laid. Executing this prep protocol meticulously will streamline the process and extend the life of your artificial turf.
