Artificial grass has become the favorite option for houses, companies, and event places looking for an attractive lawn with minimal maintenance. Artificial grass is a great option to beautify your backyard or business location with beauty and functionality. Green Touch UAE has advanced in supplying good quality artificial grass that makes any space a lush, green haven. Here is a full guide on installing fake grass for professional-looking results.

Step 1: Plan and Measure the Area

Plan the following before any installation procedure begins:

Measure the Area: Decide exactly how much space you will occupy with fake grass. This helps establish how much turf you'll need.

Grass Type: The UAE offers a selection of grass types. It ranges from realistic ones to more decadent designs. Choose what best fits your needs.

Underground Utilities Check: Look for any pipes, wires, or irrigation systems to avoid damaging them.

Step 2: Clean and Prepare the Ground

The ground must be prepared to get a smooth, even surface.

Remove existing grass: Using a shovel, remove all the natural grass, weeds, or plants.

Dig: Dig down 2-3 inches below to allow space for the foundation layer.

Level the Ground: Fill in the low places or eliminate irregularities so that the surface will be even.

Step 3: Apply a Weed Barrier

You want to prevent weeds from popping up through the fake grass. To do that, apply a weed barrier.

Smother with cloth: Apply a weed barrier cloth to the entire area. Overlap the cloth edges to ensure full coverage.

Secure the fabric: Anchor in place and inhibit movement from shifting when installing the weed barrier using landscaping staples.

Step 4: Establish a Firm Foundation

A firm foundation guarantees a lifetime and will help improve drainage for the grass.

Add Crushed Stone Layer: Cover the surface area using crushed stone or gravel. Increase drainage and provide a hard base.

Compacting the bottom: Compact the gravel using a plate compactor, or hand tamper it into place. Smoothen it out and harden the top.

Levelling and smoothing out: Use raking all over the compacted layer to remove imperfections.

Green Touch UAE recommends a 12-inch base so that the lawn is firm and drains.

Step 5: Install the Artificial Grass

After the base installation, it's time for the fake grass installation:

Unroll the grass: Roll the grass over the prepared space so that the blades point in the right direction.

Let It Sit: Let the grass sit there for a few hours for it to relax and flatten.

Edge your Grass: Use a utility knife to edge the cuts so that you get a sharp fit around borders, trees, or other obstructions.

Step 6: Join the Seams (If Applicable)

For large installations, you will be gluing many rolls of turf together:

Lay out the Grass Rolls: Tuck each roll tightly next to the other so the edges do not overlap.

Add Seam Tape: Place seam tape under the edges of the turf where the pieces join.

Add Adhesive: Apply glue on the seam tape, then press the grass edges to the tape. This will give a smooth appearance.

Allow the glue to dry for some hours before proceeding to the next step.

Step 7: Staking Down the Grass

Staking the artificial grass prevents it from shifting over time.

Use Landscaping Staples: Place staples around the perimeter every 6-8 inches and in the middle every 12 inches to secure the lawn.

Hammer Down the Staples: Make sure the staples are flush with the top of the grass and must not be seen.

This will give a strong foundation, even in high-traffic areas.

Step 8: Add Infill to the Grass

Adding infill allows the blades of grass to stand upright and gives an extremely soft, natural feeling.

Select the Right Infill: Green Touch. UAE provides several infills like sand and rubber. Each of these has varying degrees of hardness, softness, and temperature.

Spread the Infill: Using a drop spreader, apply a layer of infill to the field.

Brush the Grass: Allow the infill to settle, and then lift the blades to their natural, upright position using a stiff broom.

Step 9: Final Touches and Inspection

Your artificial grass is almost complete! Here's how to finish:

Brush and Fluff the Grass: Give the grass one final brush to lift the fibers and create a lush appearance.

Inspect the Installation: Look for loose places, uneven locations, and exposed staples, and make any adjustments necessary.

Step 10: Maintenance Tips

Artificial grass is low-maintenance, but a few simple procedures may keep it looking its best:

Remove Debris: Clean leaves and dirt with a leaf blower or rake.
Water the grass to remove dust every few weeks to maintain its color.

Brush the Blades: Frequently brush the blades to ensure they stand upright, especially in areas that are frequently passed through.
