EXCAVATION AND SOD REMOVAL
!
!
• You will need to remove the grass, dirt, rock, or whatever is in the area the SYNLawn
will be installed. Depending on your area, you will need to remove between 3”- 4” to
create an adequate drainage base.
• Use a sod cutter or flat shovel and haul away material.
• Grade sub grade level and compact if needed.
• If there is no grass and the yard consists of dirt, pay close attention to the depth in all
areas to determine the amount of base material needed.
Note: It is highly recommended for any projects over 150 sq. ft. to use a sod cutter to
remove existing sod.
Suggested tools: sod cutter, flat shovel
