Installation Guide

SITE PREPARATION
• Have the project site’s water turned off a few days before starting the synthetic turf installation.
• Irrigation modifications: If you have irrigation lines existing in the area you will be installing turf,
make sure all the project site’s sprinklers are removed and capped off or cut the irrigation valves.
Note: Don’t forget to run drip lines to trees or plants that were receiving water from this source.
• Treat any weed problems prior to the installation. Spray tough weeds before excavation to help
prevent further growth. Weed barrier can also be installed on top of your base prior to laying turf to
help deter weed growth.
Note: Although weed treatments and weed barrier can lower your risk of issues, it may not
completely prevent weed growth.
• You will need to determine the proper amount of base material (decomposed granite or
recommended base material for your area). This material will need to be ordered through a local
rock yard and will be dumped in the street or driveway as directed by you.
