The Installation

Some sheets might need to border each other, but a pro will cut it so that the seam is virtually undetectable once the sheets are laid.
The turfgrass will be sealed down at the edges with landscape staples, and the installation professional will double check that everything looks right. Voila! After cleanup, your new yard will be ready to enjoy.
