Installation and Planning
When considering a do-it-yourself DuraLawn synthetic lawn, we generally recommend that lawns over 600 square feet be installed by a professional certified DuraGrass installer. Lawns over 600 square feet will require multiple seams and extensive base work. We have provided the following list of basic instructions and equipment you will need to properly install a DuraGrass synthetic lawn.
Installation Instructions
1. Remove existing sod.
2. Clear area for sub-base.
3. Distribute the sub-base material.
4. Compact and roll sub-base.
5. Lay turf over sub-base.
6. Prepare and seam the turf (if applicable).
7. Cut turf to specific shape and design.
8. Secure outer edge of turf.
