Site Assessment
The first phase of commercial installation of artificial turf and landscaping is site assessment. During this phase, the contractor assesses the property to determine its unique needs and challenges. Factors that must be considered include soil type, drainage, and topography. The contractor also measures the area to be covered by turf or landscaping.
-
Design
Once the site assessment is complete, the next phase is the installation’s design. A professional designer will take the information gathered during the site assessment and create a detailed plan for the facility. The goal should specify the materials, the artificial turf and landscaping layout, and any other features to be included in the project.
-
Excavation
The third phase of commercial installation of artificial turf and landscaping is excavation. This involves removing existing landscaping, grading and leveling the site, and preparing the soil for the sub-base installation. If needed, irrigation systems and drainage solutions may be installed at this time.
-
Sub-Base Installation
With excavation complete, the next phase is the installation of the sub-base. This is a critical step in the installation process, providing a stable foundation for artificial turf or landscaping. The sub-base is typically made up of crushed stone or gravel, which is compacted to create a level surface for the turf or landscaping.
-
Turf and Landscaping Installation
Once the sub-base is installed, the next phase is the installation of artificial grass. This involves carefully laying out the material according to the design plan. The turf is secured using adhesive or stakes, while the landscaping is planted and mulched. Any required edging or borders are installed at this time as well.
-
Final Touches
After the artificial turf installation and landscaping are complete, the final phase is to add any finishing touches. This may include the installation of outdoor lighting, walkways, or other features specified in the design plan. The contractor will also clean up the site and ensure everything is in good working order before turning the project over to the client.
