Once it is well cleaned, a very compact and totally level surface must be achieved. so you have to create a drainage base made up of gravel and sand and compact with the help of a roller. One last thing you should take into account before installing the lawn is the direction in which the water is going to evacuate, so you will have to give it the proper slope.
