Installation Instructions
1. Remove 3 - 4 inches of existing sod and/or dirt. Cap and/or remove any sprinklers.
Be sure to set a rough grade for drainage.
2. Install wire mesh (optional).
3. Lay 2 - 2 ½ inches of drain rock, hose down, then using a vibrating plate compactor, compact to 90%.
4. Lay 1 – 1 ½ inches of either class II road base or decomposed granite.
5. Hose down and then use a vibrating plate compactor to compact to 90%.
6. Lay the weed barrier fabric over road base or decomposed granite.
This step is optional. Landscape fabrics have their pros and cons. If the soil beneath your installation is “alive”
and weeds are wildly grown prior to installation, it might be a good idea to protect your lawn from weeds
with weed barrier fabric. In many case scenarios, there is no big need in weed protection, and you can install
turf right on top of decomposed granite without adding extra layers.
7. Make sure base surface is as level and as smooth as possible.
8. Create a slight grade for optimal drainage.
