The biggest advantage of installing artificial grass or turf, is that it does not need constant watering, weeding, and patch working the bald spots on the grass. Yes, it is surely a skill to install artificial grass but with the proper knowledge it can be done easily.
Assess and measure the exact area on which you are going to install artificial grass. You can use a steel measuring tape for the purpose. Make an estimate of the grass that is needed. You can easily get the turf of your choice in any hardware store nearby.
Along with the synthetic grass, you will need a steel tape, crushed granite, carpet knife, seam tape, artificial grass adhesive and notched adhesive spreader.
✦ The key here is to apply the exact amount of the adhesive. Apply it on the seam tape and not on the first two lengths of the grass. Spread the glue by using the notched adhesive spreader.
Make sure the base on which you will put the artificial grass is leveled. If not, then you can use crushed granite, sand or gravel and make sure that the base is firm and leveled.
