1. Ground Preparation

  • Excavate the field area 10–20 cm deep.
  • Create slope/drainage base (usually 0.5–1% slope for water runoff).
  • Add base layer: Compact 10–15 cm of crushed stone or road base.
  • Level & compact it using a plate compactor.

2. Optional: Install Shock Pad

  • For professional or high-use fields, roll out shock pad underlayment for extra player safety.

3. Roll Out Turf

  • Lay out turf rolls according to your field layout.
  • Ensure pile direction is consistent for all rolls (they must face the same way).
  • Leave rolls exposed to sun for a few hours to let them relax.

4. Joint the Seams

  • Fold turf edges back.
  • Lay seaming tape centered along the joint.
  • Apply turf adhesive evenly.
  • Press turf edges firmly together and walk over the seam to ensure bond.

5. Cut and Fit

  • Trim excess turf around borders, goalposts, and corner areas.
  • Ensure corners and lines are clean and straight.

6. Add White Lines (if not pre-stitched)

  • Cut lines precisely from white turf rolls.
  • Glue them into pre-cut grooves using the same seam tape and adhesive method.

7. Infill (if required)

  • Spread silica sand and/or rubber granules evenly across turf surface.
  • Use a drop spreader or infill machine for even distribution.
  • Brush the turf fibers upright using a power broom or stiff brush.

8. Final Grooming

  • Brush the turf again to ensure all fibers stand upright.
  • Inspect seams and corners.
  • Make sure infill is evenly spread and the surface is level.
