The installation process of artificial grass can be intricate and labor-intensive. Homeowners often underestimate the amount of work and materials needed or steps required, from edging to capping sprinklers if that’s what you choose. However, before we can install your new artificial grass, the old grass has to go.
This typically requires 3 – 4 inches of your topsoil to be removed first, then baserock needs to be added so the area can be properly prepared. While this sounds straight-forward, removing existing sod is a lot of work and depending on how this is done, can take time. Most professional companies can complete the project in two or three days, depending on the size of the project, the size of their crew, and how they manage the removal process. Additionally, cutting and securing the grass requires precision and patience, especially around edges, obstacles or trees.
