Can you give me some advice on how should I cut it?

I want to install artificial grass in an oval-shaped area. Can you give me some advice about how am I going to cut it? Should I cut while it lays or should I fit the size then cut?

We would always want to recommend you to use professional installers for your type of projects involving special shaped cuts which can be tricky and require experiences and skills. You can please fill out this online form with your address so we can help you finding the nearby installers:

I would like to give you a general guideline on how to cut turf here, and you can always refer to the link at the bottom of this paragraph for more details:

1. Always measure twice before cutting

2. The cutting itself should have to be done in two steps.

First you need to do a "rough cut": Laying out the turf completely cover the area, and do a rough cut by leaving at least 3-6" of edges along the shape of your lawn, so the turf is "over" your lawn area by about 3-6" all around the edges.

Second, your final cut: you need to place your "oversized" and already "rough cut" turf in place covering the entire lawn, double check along the edges, then start your finish cut slowly and carefully: It will be a good idea to drive some nails on the turf into the base just to temporarily hold the turf in place when you are cutting.

Again, cutting into shapes needs experiences and skills, we strongly recommend you to have professional installers to help with projects like this.

Here is the link to our installation instructions:

I'm very good at following instructions so I think I can handle this one well. Thank you for giving us the step by step process!
I cut mine on the back since there are no fibers there and it was so much easier. I just used large scissors and it turned out just fine.
We lay our artificial turf and cut some patterns then remove it and cut it completely. It's requires hard work but still worth it.
I cut an artificial turf myself and it didn't turn out okay. Ending, I threw it out.
I prefer to call an expert to install artificial grass because I'm not good at cutting. lol
