Once your sub-base is installed and properly compacted, a heavy-duty weed block fabric will be installed over the base to prevent weed growth.

We use a DuPont 25-year polyethylene weed barrier that does not deteriorate as some of the fabric types do. The weed barrier is tacked to the base using either sod staples or nails.

STEP SEVEN: ROLL IT OUT

After getting the weed barrier in place, your turf carpet will be rolled out and positioned in a predetermined direction so that the grain of the turf fibers faces the area where you will be viewing the grass (typically facing the house in the backyard or facing the street in front yards). Make sure each piece is angled in the same direction.
