Begin with the setting
A front garden, pet area and commercial courtyard have different priorities. Note foot traffic, pets, shade, nearby materials and cleaning access. Share photographs and measurements when requesting product recommendations.
Look at samples in daylight
Place samples where the turf will be installed and view them from several directions. Compare color, texture and feel alongside paving and planting. Ask for the specification of each sample so the final order can be matched to the approved choice.
Plan what sits beneath
Discuss the base, drainage, edges and seams with the installer. A complete layout helps establish material quantities and cutting allowances. Agree on routine cleaning and care before the project is handed over.
