As with every landscape project, a quality lawn needs a quality foundation to provide homeowners with the years of satisfaction they desire. Artificial turf installation begins with a thorough preparation to ensure a sturdy, functional lawn that can support your daily lifestyle.

At Luxe Lawns, we know the essentials for a synthetic grass lawn. You can do several things to help your artificial grass installers prepare for the installation. The better you prepare, the more efficiently we’ll be able to complete a flawless green space that caters to your interests.

This article explores the key steps to prepare your lawn for a fast and flawless synthetic turf installation. Follow our steps, and you’ll soon enjoy a low-maintenance paradise!

Clear the Foundation

Whether installing playground turf or an artificial grass putting green, your job begins by clearing the foundation. This preparation ensures that no sticks, stones, or other debris impair the even surface of your residential turf lawn. Think of it as creating a “clean slate.”

Remove weeds, large stones, and other debris from your lawn. Relocate outdoor furniture away from your yard to save our team time removing it. Trim back large branches or shrubs that may challenge our ability to align synthetic turf products properly.

Clearing the foundation before artificial grass installation allows our team to begin laying down and securing residential turf sooner. The faster we get the job done, the sooner you can get that summer tan or host your next neighborhood barbeque!

Consider Drainage

You may not have considered it before, but your lawn’s specific drainage will impact our approach to your artificial turf installation. If you’ve experienced problems such as pooling water, especially if the issues are consistent in one area, it may indicate unbalanced drainage.

Our licensed experts can consult on the best solutions to prevent these issues from persisting and damaging your new lawn. We can install an innovative drainage system or re-grade the surface to ensure even drainage of all fluids. 

Efficient drainage is especially beneficial to pet-friendly turf, engineered to withstand frequent pet messes without deteriorating.

Make Note of Utilities

We prioritize your safety and hours, but to do so, we need to know about any in-ground utilities that may present an obstacle or risk to residential turf installation. These include sprinkler systems, septic tanks, and electrical lines.

Marking where each utility is located will allow our team to install your synthetic grass products without risking accidental damage to your home. As we excavate your foundation, we can work around these systems and incorporate them into our plan.

Plan to Optimize Access

Artificial grass installation requires various tools and equipment to ensure a smooth, secure finish. We’ll need easy access to your lawn to bring equipment in as required. The easier it is to move back and forth, the more efficiently we can complete your project.

If you have gates, ensure they’re unlocked and offer enough space for us to move through with heavy machinery. Move vehicles from your driveway so we can get as close to your home as possible without risk of damage to your cars.

As a courtesy, notify neighbors about the potential for noise. While this won’t affect how we go about our business, it’ll endear you to your neighbors, making future cookouts more pleasant!
