Clear the area by removing existing grass, weeds, rocks and debris. Excavate the soil by digging 2-4 inches to allow space for the base layer and ensure proper slope for drainage. Add a base material of crushed silica sand to create a solid foundation. Use a plate compactor to compress the material for stability. Install a weed barrier to prevent weed growth. Prepare for installation by laying turf rolls, trimming excess turf and join turf seams.
