Turf Drainage & Base Prep — What to Know

Our turf drainage and base prep process for Fairmount properties is comprehensive. First, we carefully excavate the existing soil, paying close attention to the predominant Georgia clay turf base. This is crucial for creating a stable foundation. Next, we install a high-quality geotextile fabric, which acts as a weed barrier and helps prevent the clay from migrating into our sub-base layers. Then comes the layering: a robust crushed granite or gravel sub-base is laid and meticulously compacted. This permeable layer is key to effective turf drainage, allowing water to quickly filter through. On top of that, we add a fine layer of decomposed granite or crusher run, precisely graded to ensure perfect surface uniformity and optimal drainage beneath your new artificial turf. For pet turf drainage, we often incorporate additional permeable layers and specialized infills to maximize liquid flow-through and prevent odor build-up.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our multi-layered base, including permeable aggregates and precise grading, is designed to channel water efficiently, preventing pooling and ensuring quick drainage even during intense Fairmount storms.

Will my pet turf have good drainage to prevent odors in Gordon County's humidity?

Absolutely! We focus on superior pet turf drainage, often including advanced infills and extra permeable base layers. This allows pet waste to drain quickly, significantly reducing odor buildup in humid conditions.
