You’ve made the smart decision to switch to artificial turf—great move! Now you might be wondering: “What do I need to do before installation day?”

While Kingswood Turf handles all the heavy lifting, a little bit of preparation on your end can make the process even smoother. Here’s a quick guide on how to get your yard ready for a flawless artificial turf transformation.

1. Finalize Your Design Vision

Before installation begins, make sure you’ve discussed the details of your layout, including:

• Turf boundaries (full yard vs. partial)
• Edging needs
• Add-ons like putting greens or pet areas
• Hardscape transitions (pavers, gravel, concrete)

✅ Pro Tip: Kingswood Turf offers design guidance during your free estimate to help you visualize your new space.

2. Remove Furniture and Personal Items

Clear the area where turf will be installed by removing:

• Outdoor furniture
• Yard toys or sports gear
• Planters, grills, or décor

This helps our crew move quickly and ensures nothing is damaged during prep.

3. Secure Pets and Provide Access

We love animals—but for safety and efficiency, it’s best to:

• Keep pets indoors or in another part of the yard during installation
• Leave side gates unlocked or provide access details ahead of time

We treat every property with care and work fast to minimize disruption.

4. Mark Irrigation Systems and Utility Lines (If Applicable)

If you have a sprinkler system, drainage lines, or buried utilities, let us know! We’ll:

• Cap off unnecessary irrigation heads
• Avoid damaging existing lines
• Adjust plans if needed for safe installation

You don’t need to dig anything up—we’ll handle prep during the site inspection.

5. Discuss Drainage Needs with Our Team

Proper drainage ensures your turf stays clean and puddle-free. We’ll evaluate slope and runoff, but feel free to mention:

• Areas that tend to collect water
• Concerns about pet use or heavy rain
• Zones where you’ve had issues with grass dying

Our custom drainage base and permeable turf backing work together to keep water flowing away from your home.

6. Confirm Turf Selection and Installation Details

We’ll go over:

• Your selected turf product (blade height, texture, color)
• Infill type (standard, pet-friendly, cooling)
• Edging, seams, and base materials

✅ Kingswood Turf uses only premium turf designed for durability, safety, and year-round beauty.

What Happens on Installation Day?

Once your prep is done, here’s what you can expect:

• Our crew arrives and clears old grass or debris
• We install a compacted base layer for stability
• Turf is rolled out, trimmed, and expertly seamed
• Infill is added and the surface is brushed up for a perfect finish

We leave your yard clean, beautiful, and ready to enjoy.
