Prioritising quality will ensure you get a long-lasting and natural-looking lawn. Products made from premium materials, like our artificial turf at Luxe Turf, will have advanced UV resistance and exceptional drainage features – both amazing benefits you won’t get from cheaper alternatives.

Installing artificial turf
While engaging our experienced team to install your artificial turf is the best option, we understand there are circumstances where clients would rather install it themselves. We can supply the turf and you can lay it! Here are a few quick tips for DIY installation:
- Prepare the surface: Ensure the area is clean, level, and free of debris. Remove existing grass and weeds to approx. 100mm depth to create a smooth base for the artificial turf.
- Prevent weeds: Place a weed inhibitor over the prepared surface to prevent weeds from growing through the turf and improve drainage.
- Install a drainage system: If needed, set up a proper drainage system to prevent water accumulation under the turf and ensure effective water runoff.
- Install approx. 80mm thick of compactable aggregate such as crusher dust, level with a screed and compact with a plate compactor.
- Use proper adhesive: Secure the turf in place using adhesive or strong seam tape for joining pieces together. Make sure to follow our guidelines for proper application.
- Infill and brush: Spread a layer of infill material (such as silica sand ) evenly over the turf to support the blades and add stability. Finally, brush the turf to make it look natural and even.
