Sorry to be an arse, but that would be such an easy strip to put down topsoil and grass seed. You’d have a lovely bit of lawn by the end of the summer with no micro plastics entering the environment.
I regret that I have no experience to pass on over laying AstroTurf. The only thing that I do know is that you will need a very impermeable layer beneath it over the soil otherwise you will be weeding your fake grass in no time at all which would be comedic.
Your wood strip would definitely need treating otherwise will rot in no time. The gap between strip and fence will also make a perfect trap for weed seeds and let them grow nice and strong before growing up against the fence so that you get to strim the margins of your plastic grass too - or pour poison down the edge (which will leach into next door).
Crikey, I’m pissing on your parade. Really sorry, not the intention.
