Installation of synthetic turf is not a very hard exercise. Its all about paying attention to the called for instructions and then you are good to go.
Steps to follow:
* Firstly, measure the area framing it with a 2 by 4 edging
* Install decomposed granite at the base, ensuring that there is a small crown at the middle of the base to enhance easy run off of the water
* Your next step is to apply a root barrier in the whole worked on area
