Once your subbase is installed and properly compacted, a heavy duty weed block fabric will be installed over the base to prevent weed growth. We use a DuPont 25-year polyethylene weed barrier that does not deteriorate as some of the fabric type do. The weed barrier is tacked to the base using either sod staples or nails.
After getting the weed barrier in place, your turf carpet will rolled out and positioned in a predetermined direction so that the grain of the turf fibers face the area where you will be viewing the grass from (typically facing the house in backyard or facing the street in front yards).
