Ezy Hex geo grid installation involves more than simply putting the ground grids on the ground. Depending on your site, the work can include preparing the surface, creating a stable base, fitting and securing the grids, then filling and finishing the area. A Tasker can handle these steps for you, so you don't have to spend your weekend measuring, cutting, lifting and compacting materials.

Preparing and levelling the site

Before the geo grid goes down, the installation area needs to be cleared and prepared. A Tasker can remove debris, vegetation and loose material, then level the ground and check for uneven or soft sections that may need extra preparation. 

For areas such as driveways or parking pads, they can spread and compact the recommended road base to create a firm foundation. If you're starting with a patchy or damaged lawn, you can also book a lawn repair service through Airtasker to get the area ready before installation.

Laying the geotextile and road base

Depending on your ground conditions and the intended use, your installation may need a geotextile layer beneath the geo grid. A Tasker can lay it across the prepared area, overlap sections where needed and make sure it sits flat before adding the road base. 

They can then spread and compact the base material to the required depth, creating a stable surface for the Ezy Hex panels. Getting this stage right can be physically demanding, particularly across larger areas, so having a Tasker handle the groundwork can save you a lot of lifting and levelling.

Measuring, cutting and connecting the geo grid

Once the base is ready, the Ezy Hex geo grid panels can be laid across the area and connected. A Tasker can measure the layout, work around corners, edges and existing structures, then cut panels where a full section won't fit. They'll connect the grids securely and check that the panels sit correctly across the prepared surface. 

Securing the grid and filling the cells

With the panels in position, the outer edges may need to be secured with suitable pins or fixings to keep everything in place. A Tasker can check the perimeter, secure the sections that need it and make sure the grid is sitting firmly before filling the cells. Depending on your project, this may involve spreading gravel, soil or another suitable fill across the surface and working it into the geo grid cells. 

Finishing and compacting the surface

The final stage is about getting the installed area ready for use. A Tasker can spread the remaining fill evenly, work material into any low spots and compact the surface so it sits neatly within the grid. They can also check the edges and clean up excess material around the finished area. 

If you've installed the geo grid around an existing garden or want to tidy the surrounding space afterwards, you can also look for a gardening service on Airtasker to finish the area without having to tackle the whole job yourself.
