Installation Process
Site Evaluation and Measurements
Before any installation, it’s crucial to evaluate the site. Accurate measurements ensure that the right amount of artificial grass is procured, preventing wastage and unnecessary costs.

Group Preparation
Ground preparation is a foundational step. This involves removing any existing grass, weeds, or debris. The soil is then levelled and compacted to create a smooth surface. This ensures that the artificial grass lays flat and appears natural when installed.
