So you’ve decided to upgrade your yard with artificial turf—but what exactly happens between booking your estimate and enjoying your new lawn?

At Kingswood Turf, we follow a meticulous, time-tested installation process to ensure your yard looks beautiful and performs perfectly for years. Here’s a breakdown of how artificial turf installation works—step by step.

Step 1: Consultation & Site Preparation

It all starts with a free on-site consultation. We’ll inspect your space, discuss your goals, and help you choose the right turf for your needs.

Then we:

• Flag utility lines
• Clear the area of grass, rocks, and debris
• Grade the space for proper drainage

A strong base begins with a clean, even surface.

Step 2: Base Installation & Compaction

Next, we lay down a crushed stone or decomposed granite base, typically about 3–4 inches thick. This layer provides stability and allows for drainage.

We use professional equipment to:

• Spread the base evenly
• Compact it thoroughly
• Create a smooth, solid foundation

This step is key to preventing turf shifting, pooling, or sinking over time.

Step 3: Turf Laying & Seaming

Once the base is set, we roll out your chosen turf and begin custom cutting to fit your space.

This step includes:

• Precision trimming around edges, curves, and features
• Seaming the turf with glue or staples for a flawless, invisible joint
• Securing turf edges with nails or landscape spikes

We make sure every piece lays flat, looks natural, and feels seamless.

Step 4: Infill & Power Brushing

After securing the turf, we apply infill—a fine material (like silica sand or pet-friendly alternatives) that:

• Keeps blades upright
• Adds weight and durability
• Improves turf feel and drainage

Then we power brush the turf, lifting the fibers and giving it that soft, real-grass look.

Step 5: Final Inspection & Cleanup

Before we call it done, we walk through the project with you to:

• Ensure every seam, edge, and detail is perfect
• Answer any questions about care and maintenance
• Clean the worksite so your new yard is ready to enjoy

Why Proper Installation Matters

Artificial turf isn’t just about the product—it’s about the process. A poor installation can lead to:

• Bumps and uneven surfaces
• Poor drainage and odor issues
• Visible seams and short product lifespan

That’s why Kingswood Turf follows this detailed process every time—no shortcuts, no compromises.
