Don’t believe it?
Take a look at this easy turf installation procedure.
With technology, installing artificial turf has become very easy. And in many ways, laying turf over concrete is a lot easier than installing it with multiple layers of the base over the soil.
Normally, you’d need to remove the grass, weeds, flowers, and any plants from the soil to prepare it for turf installation. But when laying turf over concrete, you don’t need to do any of that. Simply take the artificial turf and lay it on top of the concrete.
Sounds simple, right? Well, it is too! However, there are certain precautions you should take to avoid expenses on repair later on. Ensure the concrete surface is plain and even so that it is comfortable for you and your loved ones.
In case of any loose stones or bumps, use an underlay for added cushioning. Remove any sharp stones as these may tear the grass backing or lead to uncomfortable bumps in the artificial turf.
Before laying down the turf, check for proper drainage. If the concrete does not have proper drainage, it may damage the artificial turf. Artificial turf installation experts recommend drilling holes into the concrete to all space for water to drain through.
The holes need not be too big. Approximately 16mm in diameter should suffice. Fill the holes with pea gravel so that the water is properly absorbed and drained through. Convert boring concrete into a beautiful lawn with artificial turf.
