Turf Drainage & Base Prep — What to Know
At LawnLogic, our turf drainage and base prep process in Augusta is meticulous, designed to counteract the challenges of our local environment. It all starts with excavation, carefully removing existing vegetation and creating the proper grade. Given our prevalence of Georgia clay, we often incorporate a robust aggregate sub-base, typically crushed granite or similar material, compacted to exacting standards. This creates a stable foundation and allows for efficient water percolation. For superior turf drainage, we might integrate perforated drainage pipes or a comprehensive grid system beneath the base layer, especially crucial for pet turf drainage where higher liquid volumes are expected. Finally, a fine layer of decomposed granite or crusher fines is spread and compacted, providing a perfectly smooth, level surface for the artificial turf. This proper installation ensures not only excellent drainage but also prevents ripples, depressions, and maintains the turf's aesthetic appeal for decades.
