Synthetic Turf Small Area Installation Process
Every job starts with excavating the existing ground and preparing it for landscape fabric and gravel base. It is important to excavate deep enough to allow room for 3-4″ of open gravel. This amount of subgrade allows for excellent drainage in most yards. Cascade Greens guarantees no pooling water and our crew is capable of adding all types of products for adequate drainage in your area.
With a level subgrade of open gravel, best for drainage, it is time to lay turf. Depending on the shape of a yard, there is sometimes a need for a seam where the turf will meet. Mrs.D was in need of one small seam due to the L shape of her yard area. This seam allowed us to not waste any turf and keep Mrs.D’s cost down.
After laying turf comes infill. We use a green sand, no rubber, in our turf as infill for residential applications. We use a stihl brush to help the sand settle in as it gets spread across the turf.. Having an infill helps keep the blades standing up straight and a soft grass like cushion when you walked on.
Job Well Done!
Mrs.D was very happy with the finished lawn. So was her dog! Now Mrs.D has a year round usable yard with no wet or dirty paws tracking in the house.
