How to level my backyard with current installed artificial grass?

Rhyan

Hi Guys,

I need help to fix my backyard as the level of it is so bad causing water pooling on one side.

I hired a landscaper to do my backyard landscaping last year (artificial turf, pebbles path and garden bed).

Unfortunately I think the preparation is not that good as the backyard is not level properly.

I want to fix the level and redirect to water to my 2 storm drainage.

Do I just need to pull out the artifical turf and top it up with blue metal dust, compact and level it or so I need to do more steps?

Appreaciate your help with this. 🙏🏼

Hi @Rhyan,

Thank you for your question about levelling your backyard artificial grass.

What you've said about lifting the artificial grass, adding compactable material, compacting it and levelling/creating fall towards the drain and then relaying the turf is pretty much it.

You might like to check out How To Prepare And Lay a Base For Pavers as the process is the same.

For an area of this size, it is definitely worth hiring a Plate Compactor to make the process quicker and easier on your body.

Let me know if you have any further questions.
