At Mayfield Bangladesh, we are proud to be a leading supplier of premium artificial turf and landscaping materials, engineered to stand up to the demands of tropical climates, heavy foot traffic, and everyday family life.
This guide walks you through the complete process of installing artificial grass, step-by-step, and highlights the high-quality materials and support Mayfield provides at every stage.
✂️ Step-by-Step: How to Install Artificial Grass
📀 Step 1: Excavate Existing Lawn
Start by removing your current grass to a depth of around 75mm (3 inches) below your desired finish height.
- Use a turf cutter for easy and efficient excavation.
- In shallow gardens, removing around 30–40mm may suffice.
Materials from Mayfield:
- Heavy-duty turf cutters for rent or purchase
- Soil removal and disposal solutions
🏛️ Step 2: Install Durable Edging
A secure perimeter ensures the turf stays in place.
Recommended Options:
- Treated timber (Mayfield recommended)
- Plastic lumber
- Steel edging
- Timber sleepers
- Brick or paving blocks
Why Treated Timber? It’s durable, easy to work with, and compatible with galvanised nails.
Materials Supplied by Mayfield:
- Pre-treated timber edging
- Galvanised nails and fixing accessories
- Decorative edging elements
🧳 Step 3: Lay Weed-Proof Membrane
To prevent weeds from growing through your lawn:
- Cover the entire excavated area
- Overlap the edges to stop penetration
- Secure with galvanised U-pins
Tip: Pre-treat the area with a weedkiller if necessary.
Mayfield Supplies:
- Heavy-duty geo-textile weed membranes
- Galvanised U-pins
- Organic weed control solutions
💧 Step 4: Lay a 50mm Sub-Base
A strong base ensures longevity and proper drainage.
Two Choices:
- MOT Type 1 Aggregate (standard)
- 10-12mm Granite Chippings (for poor drainage)
Spread to approx. 50mm depth, level and compact thoroughly using a plate compactor.
Materials Provided by Mayfield:
- MOT Type 1 certified aggregate
- Drainage-enhanced granite chips
- Plate compactor rentals
🧰 Step 5: Lay 25mm Granite Dust Laying Course
The laying course smooths the surface and supports turf fibers.
- Rake and level to 25mm depth
- Compact using a vibrating plate compactor
- Lightly wet granite dust to bind it and reduce airborne dust
Mayfield Bangladesh Provides:
- Washed and sieved granite dust (grano)
- Water-spray compactor accessories
🤟 Step 6: Optional Second Weed Membrane
Apply a second membrane layer for additional protection.
- Especially helpful in weed-prone zones
- Pin it close to edges
- Avoid in pet-friendly lawns to prevent trapped odours
Weed Solutions by Mayfield:
- UV-resistant secondary membranes
- Advanced odour-neutralising infill (for pets)
🌱 Step 7: Unroll and Position Your Turf
This is where the transformation begins!
- Get help to unroll the turf (can be heavy)
- Place grass facing your main viewpoint
- Ensure pile direction is the same for all rolls
- Let it settle under the sun for several hours
Mayfield Turf Products:
- NeoGrass Premium Synthetic Turf (UV-stabilised, soft touch)
- Roll lifting and positioning tools
🔄 Step 8: Cut and Shape Turf
Trim carefully around edges using a sharp utility knife.
- Replace blades frequently
- Secure edges using nails or U-pins
- Use adhesive for concrete bases

- Galvanised U-pins and fixing nails

🔠 Step 9: Seamless Joins
Joining two rolls? Follow these tips for a perfect seam:
- Position and align both pieces
- Cut three stitches from each edge
- Use joining tape and adhesive
- Press firmly and allow to cure 2-24 hours
Pro Tip: Place heavy sandbags along the seam for a tighter bond.
Mayfield Supplied:

- Aquabond & 2-part adhesives
- Kiln-dried stabilising bags
🪨 Step 10: Add Infill
Infill enhances durability, stability, and blade positioning.

- Brush with a power brush or stiff broom
For Pet Lawns: Use DeoFill®, a pet-friendly odour-absorbing infill.
Mayfield Materials:
