Turf Drainage & Base Prep — What to Know
Our turf drainage and base prep process in Bolingbroke begins with a thorough assessment of your site. The first crucial step involves excavating the existing soil, paying close attention to that Georgia clay turf base. We strategically grade the area to ensure optimal water runoff, preventing low spots where water could collect. Next, we install a permeable aggregate sub-base, typically using crushed granite or a similar material, which provides excellent stability and acts as a primary drainage layer. This layer is compacted to create an incredibly solid foundation, preventing future settling or undulations. Above this, we often add an additional layer of decomposed granite or fine gravel, meticulously leveled to within a quarter-inch tolerance, ensuring a perfectly smooth surface for your artificial grass. For pet turf drainage, we integrate specific enhancements, such as a specialized antimicrobial infill and an additional permeable backing on the turf itself, to ensure maximum liquid dispersion and minimize odor retention. This multi-layered approach to proper installation is what sets a LawnLogic turf system apart, designed to withstand Bolingbroke’s weather extremes and provide a beautiful, functional lawn for years.
