What Is the Artificial Turf Installation Process?

Aug 18, 2026 | Artificial Turf

A professional artificial turf installation involves much more than simply removing grass and rolling out synthetic turf. Proper excavation, base preparation, grading, compaction, cutting, seaming, securing, and infill are all critical to how the finished turf looks, drains, and performs over time.

At Idaho Rock N Turf, we begin by removing the existing grass, soil, or landscaping materials and excavating the area to the proper depth. We then install a minimum 4-inch compacted aggregate base, carefully grading and compacting it to create a stable foundation and promote proper drainage.

Once the base is prepared, the artificial turf is positioned and precisely cut to fit the space. Seams are professionally joined, edges are secured, and the turf is stretched and finished to create a clean, natural appearance.

Finally, we apply the appropriate type and amount of infill for the turf product and application, power broom the fibers upright, clean the site, and inspect the finished installation.

It's the work you don't see underneath the turf that often makes the biggest difference. Our artificial grass installations throughout Boise and the Treasure Valley are completed to manufacturer specifications and backed by our 5-year workmanship warranty.
