Step 1: Delivery of the materials and clearance of the site
The area where the new artificial lawn would be was covered with real turf, which had to be removed from the roots. The landscaping team got to work right after all equipment and materials were brought into the yard. They excavated the old lawn together with part of the soil.
Step 2: Levelling the area
After the old lawn was removed, the terrain was levelled. The Ilford landscapers, then, spread the sharp sand and levelled again to make the base stable.
Step 3: Laying the anti-weed membrane
To ensure no weeds will pop up in between the Astro turf, the experts always lay heavy-duty anti-weed membrane. The pieces of the membrane should step on each other, and are then connected with joint tape.
Step 4: Laying the Astro turf
When the anti-weed membrane is ready it is time to fit the artificial grass rolls. The landscaping specialists unroll the fake turf and cut it according to the size and form of the area. They then assure that the pieces fit each other, and there is no space between them. The bonds between the pieces should be right on top of the joint tape. That is where the Astro turf glue is applied.
Step 5: Brushing the fibres
After the “Madrid” artificial grass was properly laid and glued, the landscapers spread the silica sand all over it and brushed it carefully into the fibres. That is done for a few reasons, but we will mention only two of them. Firstly, the sand keeps the fibres straight up. Secondly, it weighs and holds the Astro turf down and straight. It doesn’t make the area muddy when raining, and it doesn’t get blown away by the wind.
Step 6: Leaving the property
When the new fake lawn was ready, the team gathered the equipment and the generated waste, cleaned around their working area and left only one happy customer.
