The subsoil should be dampened lightly with water before being compacted. Use a whacker packer or garden roller to do the job effectively.

Lay out the first roll of turf, allowing overhang at the ends. This will later be trimmed to match the contour of the paving.

Trim the turf roughly around any garden edges and move it into position. Then use a utility knife, with a new blade, to trim accurately around the edges.

Lay out the second roll of turf and trim to size. Remembering all the grass must run in the same direction when joining more than one piece. Fold back the edge.

Apply an even coat of adhesive to the seaming material.

Wait for the adhesive to become slightly stringy, and then bring the two sheets together. Make sure there is no turf fibers trapped in the seam as you smooth the sides down. You can also use nail (100mm flat head Galvanised nails) around the perimeter and along either side of the joins in 250mm increments.

Brush up the grass, running against the pile direction. A stiff bristled broom can also be used for this.

For sports aritificial grass, there is also need to spread quartz sand and rubber in grass, the quantity is different with different types of grass.
