Schedule Initial Consultation & Site Assessment
The first step in the installation process is to schedule a professional consultation. During this initial visit, our team assesses your site to determine its suitability for artificial grass.
We’ll discuss your specific needs, preferences, and any unique conditions of your yard. This consultation will result in a detailed estimate and a personalized proposal.
Prepare Your Yard for Artificial Grass Installation
A. Clear the Area
- Debris Removal: Clear the area of rocks, sticks, and other debris to create a clean workspace for the installation team.
B. Mark Utility Lines
- Locate Utilities: Identify and mark any underground utility lines to avoid damage during installation. Contact your local utility company to help with this process, if necessary.
C. Ensure Accessibility
- Clear Pathways: Ensure that pathways to the installation site are clear and accessible for our installation team and their equipment. This makes it easier for us to transport materials and tools to the work area.
Choose the Right Artificial Grass
We’ll work with you to identify the right artificial grass for your lawn by considering factors such as quality, durability, and appearance. If you have specific needs (such as turf for play areas or turf for pets), remember to mention these to ensure that you get the best product for your situation.
Familiarize Yourself with the Basic Scope of the Installation
- Ground Preparation: Our artificial grass installation team prepares the ground by confirming that it’s level and properly drained.
- Base Installation: A base layer is installed to provide stability and proper drainage for the artificial grass.
- Laying the Turf: We roll out and secure the artificial grass; we fix and trim the edges carefully to ensure a seamless look.
- Final Touches: Finally, we’ll conduct quality checks, adjust the turf as needed, and confirm with you that everything is perfect.
Maintain Your New Lawn with Simple Post-Installation Care
- Initial Inspection: After installation, inspect your new lawn to ensure everything is as expected.
- Regular Maintenance: Keep your lawn clean by removing debris with a leaf blower and hosing it down.
- Long-Term Care: Address any minor repairs promptly and follow any seasonal care guidelines that we provide to keep your lawn in optimal condition.
