Turf Drainage & Base Prep — What to Know
Our approach to turf drainage and base prep for your Arcadia property is a comprehensive, multi-step process. First, we carefully excavate the existing soil, paying close attention to grading to ensure proper water runoff. For areas with that dense Georgia clay turf base, we often incorporate specialized geotextile fabrics and aggregate layers to prevent mixing and improve permeability. Following excavation, we lay down a robust sub-base, typically using crushed granite or similar materials, compacted to an incredibly high density. This creates a stable, unyielding foundation that prevents shifting and settling over time. Critically, we then address the turf drainage itself. This often involves a permeable infill system combined with strategically placed drainage channels and adequate slope, ensuring water, whether from a heavy thunderstorm or pet use, moves swiftly through the turf and away from the area. For pet turf drainage, we use specific infill materials that aid in odor control and further enhance liquid dispersion, maintaining a clean and fresh environment. This meticulous preparation is the cornerstone of every proper installation we undertake, giving you a beautiful and functional turf system that truly lasts.
