  Establish a drainage plan for the area of land you are planning to build a grass landing strip on. Drainage is one of the most important things to consider when planning a grass landing strip.

  Take soil samples. Once proper draining has been accomplished, taking soil samples will aid in determining what type of grass to plant.

  Plant the grass seeds. Make sure the seeds are planted in equal portions all the way down the landing strip. Often times, one side of the landing strip is overloaded and the rest of the strip is near bare.

  Prepare a maintenance plan. The grass will need to be mowed and watered as well as other general maintenance procedures.
