Turf Drainage & Base Prep — What to Know
Our artificial turf installation process begins with a meticulous excavation to remove existing organic material, ensuring a clean slate. Then comes the crucial base prep. We lay down and compact several layers of crushed aggregate, specifically chosen for its drainage properties. This isn't just any gravel; it's a carefully graded material that creates a stable, permeable foundation, essential for effective turf drainage. For areas with a more pronounced Georgia clay turf base, we often incorporate additional measures, such as a specialized layer or a more extensive excavation, to guarantee optimal water flow through the entire system. We carefully slope the base to direct water away, preventing pooling and ensuring quick runoff, even during those intense summer thunderstorms. This thoughtful approach is particularly vital for pet turf drainage, as it ensures liquids pass through quickly, minimizing odors and maintaining a hygienic surface. Finally, a thin layer of fines is added and compacted to create a perfectly smooth, level surface for the turf itself, ensuring a flawless finish and long-term stability.
