Advice needed on how to level granodust ready for artificial turf

[Mark2022]

Hey all, we're attempting to lay artificial grass in our garden but are having a nightmare a really stressful time trying to get the dust level. We've been over it with the compactor but its still low in places. Is there a certain knack to doing it? Any help would be much appreciated.

Can you screed  it in sections of it with a bit 4 x 2?

As above you need to compact it fully so it's 10mm higher than your finished height. Use rails, 1.5 meter lengths of copper pipe ( a 3m length of 22mm is ideal) and set these to your finished height and use a very straight piece of timber or a spirit level and slide it along your rails leaving it dead flat. Just move the rails along bit by bit as you go.

You will need something around the edge to attach the grass too. I used treated timber and screwed the grass into the timber or the wind will get under it and lift it.
