How to lay artificial turf between pavers?

[mann]

Hi,

I want to lay artificial turf between the pavers to have a clean look ...the area is 5 m by 1.3 cm . I have already dig some gravel out..how should I proceed further.

Can I just simply put a layer of sand on top of gravel and lay turf on top ?

Thanks 

Manny

Hello @mann 

Thanks for sharing your question about artificial turf. Looking at the photo you posted it appears that the gravel is not that thick anymore. I suggest removing your pavers first so that they are not at the same level as the sand and gravel you'll be putting in. 

I recommend adding a new layer of gravel and compacting it before you put the sand on top. Once the sand has been spread over, I suggest compacting that as well. When you finish compacting, I propose putting the pavers back into place.

Once the pavers are in position, I then suggest putting the artificial turf over the area. I recommend using a Craftright 18mm Snap Off Knife to cut along the edge of the paver. My best advice is to make sure to anchor along the cut edges around the pavers.
