On top of the compacted gravel base layer<\/a> comes a leveling layer of crushed sand or chippings<\/a>, about 2\u20133 cm thick. It is precisely screeded with a straightedge and then compacted with a plate compactor<\/a>. This creates the level surface on which the artificial turf will later be laid. <\/p>\n
