Lay your sharp sand Once your old turf is removed, the area has been cleared, a timber edge added and your first base laid – the next part of the process is to lay out a batch of sharp sand. This effectively acts as the base for your artificial grass.

Installing synthetic grass can be a bit tricky, so it's essential to have patience and follow the right steps. You'll need to measure your lawn, choose the right type of turf, get your ground ready, and secure the grass to the soil. But don't sweat it! Knowing the basics will help you get a picture-perfect lawn.
