So you’ve ordered your new lawn and now its time to prepare your area. Follow these step by step instructions and you’ll be well on your way to your new dream lawn.
Step 1
Start out by spraying out or removing any existing weeds or grasses. Whether this is by hand or by use of a herbicide such as roundup ensuring your surface is weed free will go a long way in ensuring your new lawn is laid on a surface where it has a happy foundation to grow from. Also remove any debris such as branches or stones and rocks.Step 2
Thoroughly cultivate your soil in your desired planting area to loosen the soil and incorporate some manure or compost if your soil is low in nutrients ensuring a high-quality topsoil. Level off your area well to get your desired end levels for your new lawn to be placed on as the lawn will ultimately take shape of the ground it is placed on. Leave a gap between any paving or decked areas and your finished soil level as the grass will take up this gap and leave you with a flush level onto the existing surrounding surface.Step 3
