To proceed with the installation of the artificial turf, first of all, it is essential to consider that the success of the installation depends very much on the correct preparation of the soil.
The surface on which the artificial grass must be anchored must be made of a material that is not affected by the changes in temperature between summer and winter, otherwise there is the risk of having an artificial "mobile" lawn that shrinks on each side even for different centimeters.
First of all, it is essential to eliminate from the ground all disturbing elements and discontinuities that can cause irregularities.
Both in the case of a concrete surface and in the case of soil, to install a synthetic artificial turf it is necessary to clean the soil of grass, stones, roots, tree stumps, brushwood, lumps of concrete etc. If there are pits, they must be placed and leveled.
Finally, to avoid the re-growth of weeds, an anti-fouling non-woven fabric must be applied. Subsequently, the gravel must be spread until it reaches the desired level, leveled using a straight edge (usually a couple of centimeters below the walkway) and pressed by hand or with a compressor. The result to be obtained is a uniform surface, with a well-compacted and tilled soil.
