2. Vegetation and obstruction, such as roots and projecting stones are removed. Holes, soft areas, and large cavities are filled and compacted with suitable materials.
3. The entire area is excavated to depths required and defined as road bases (compacted gravel or compacted soil subgrade).
4. Site-specific geotextile filter fabric and/or graded filter material is placed over the prepared subgrade.
5. The sand or sand/gravel base is backfilled and compacted.
6. The excess sand is screeded off for a level surface to relieve AmorTurf units.
7. A straight edge is placed along the bottom or side edge of toe area to be protected by ArmorTurf.
8. ArmorTurf units are placed, making sure all interlocking connections are made.
9. The ArmorTurf grid surface is vibrated that day or any non-vibrated areas are covered with plastic until vibration is possible.
10. Gravel or seeded soil is backfilled.
a soil subgrade, a gravel base, a layer of bedding sand and the grid pavers. The soil subgrade should be uniformly compacted to at least 95% of its optimum density prior to placing the gravel, sand and the grids. Application rates for grass seed should be reduced to take into consideration the presence of the concrete surface. Sod plugs can be used as an alternative to seed. Straw can be applied to protect the grass while it is growing. The grass should not be subjected to vehicular traffic until it is well established.
