Remove The Existing Surface
This can be done by hand if it is a relatively small area being fitted with artificial grass. For larger areas, use a mechanical turf cutter to remove the existing turf and soil. However, it must be taken into account to never build your base layer on top soil!
Compact The Ground
Confidently compact the ground by using a vibrating plate or roller. These can usually be hired from equipment hire centres for inexpensive prices. A cheaper alternative would be to use planks.
Concrete Edging
Concrete edging band of about 50mm – 70mm wide. Ensure that edging is not higher than the final grass line, to allow the water to run-off the turf.
Lay Your Sand Or Stone Base
Place down a minimum of 40mm of sharp sand or granite dust and spread evenly. If the sand is too dry, add a little wet sand.
Compact The Ground Again
Confidently compact the ground by using a vibrating plate or roller, or indeed the planks you may have used.
Roll Out Your Grass
Carefully roll out your grass underlay first. Then on top of that, roll out your artificial grass, being careful to not disturb the weed membrane underlay. Remember, your artificial grass has a directional pile, so it will all need to face the same way if you have any joins.
Let The Grass Settle
It is advisable to now let your fake grass settle for a minimum of three hours and if possible, overnight. This will stop the grass from wrinkling or creasing.
Join Any Pieces Together (If Required)
In order to compose the joins of your grass, use our high-quality outdoor tape and glue, following the instructions on the products. Lay the tape (shiny side down) and apply the adhesive, before pulling the grass edges together and applying some weight to them. This can be achieved with plant pots, stones or other heavy materials.
Trim The Edges
After the settling process is complete, cut and trim the artificial grass, using a sharp Stanley knife, ensuring the grass is cut neatly around the edges until you have achieved the desired shape.
Glue It Down
When fitting our artificial turf, glueit down using our artificial grass glue.
Brush The Grass Up And Relax!
Finally, the fibre may be relatively flat from being rolled up, so be sure to brush against the pile with a stiff brush to bring the grass fibres straight and upright. Then sit back and enjoy your artificial grass lawn!
Ideal for installing artificial grass on concrete, tar, paving or any other hard surface.
Clear The Area
When installing and laying artificial grass on concrete, ensure that the concrete area has been brushed and cleaned down thoroughly. It is important that all debris is removed, in order to assess whether the surface is level enough to lay the artificial grass on the concrete surface.
Roll Out Your Performance Pad (optional)
When laying artificial grass on concrete, we recommend using one of our Performance Pads – particularly for larger areas as this will cushion the area. Roll this out onto the area to be covered and join with glue and tape.
Lay Your Turf
Roll out your turf onto the area you wish to cover. It is best practice to leave around 50mm of grass on either side of this to trim off. Leave your fake turf to settle for around three hours, which will prevent any wrinkling or creasing.
We recommend laying the grass with the pile in the same direction leaning towards your house or main area so that it looks more natural.
Make Your Joins
Should you need to make any joins, use our quality tape and glue-which come with simple instructions. If you are fitting artificial grass on a wooden surface, such as decking, a combination of adhesive and carpet tacks will easily fix your turf down.
Trim The Edges
After leaving to settle, cut your turf using a sharp knife-and make sure you take particular care to leave a perfect edge!
Secure Your Grass
When coming to secure your artificial turf, you have two main options. You can dot and dab adhesive to the solid base and to the back of the grass. Alternatively, for a more decorative look, you can loose-lay your grass and weigh down with garden accessories, such as furniture or plant pots.

Artificial grass installation involves several key steps: preparing the base by excavating and leveling the area, installing a compacted aggregate base, rolling out and securing the synthetic turf, adding infill material to enhance stability, and trimming edges for a clean finish.
While DIY installation is possible, professional installers bring expertise, equipment, and experience that ensure a higher-quality result. DIY installations may lack proper base preparation, leading to drainage problems and an uneven surface.
The duration of artificial grass installation varies based on the project’s size and complexity. Typically, a 40sqm area takes takes 1 day for installation, while larger areas or intricate designs may take longer. At Quickturfs we ensure a swift and seamless process, delivering a stunning and hassle-free landscape in no time.
Installation costs vary based on factors like lawn size, access to the site, preparation needed, and labor rates in your area. Professional installers often provide free quotes after assessing your specific requirements.
Maintenance is minimal compared to natural grass. Regularly remove debris like leaves and twigs. Rinse with water to keep it clean and fresh. Occasional brushing helps to keep the fibers upright.
