The first rule to remember is that it’s extremely important that you install sand infill for artificial grass when your lawn is completely dry and free from moisture.

If you don’t, the sand will ‘clump’ together, making it difficult for the silica sand to work its way through the fibres, down to the base of the grass.

The quickest method of installing the sand infill to your artificial turf is by using a seed or drop spreader.

To use a drop spreader, you simply cut open a bag of kiln-dried sand, pour it into the dispensing bucket, and then push the spreader up and down the length of the garden, whilst the spreader evenly applies a layer of silica sand to your lawn.

Alternatively, this process can be done by inserting a series of small cuts into the bottom of the bag with a sharp knife, to control the flow of sand. You can then work your way down the lawn, evenly pouring the sand across the surface of your lawn.

The final step is to brush the AstroTurf.

The brushing process will enable the sand to fall through the fibres and settle at the bottom of the pile.

The brushing can either be carried out with artificial grass rake, a stiff broom or with a mechanical brush.

Clearly, the mechanical brush is going to be the quickest and easiest method. However, for a one-off DIY installation, an inexpensive artificial grass rake or a stiff broom will do the job just as effectively.

Any excess surface sand can be removed with a leaf blower.
