Turf Drainage & Base Prep β€” What to Know

Our process for turf drainage and base prep in Jonesboro begins with a thorough site assessment, carefully analyzing your soil composition, especially that tough Georgia clay. We then meticulously excavate to the correct depth, ensuring proper slope for optimal water runoff. A key step involves compacting the sub-base, creating a solid, stable foundation. We then install multiple layers of permeable materials, often including crushed granite or specific aggregates, creating a robust drainage system that swiftly channels water away, preventing pooling and ensuring quick drying, even after the heaviest downpour. This meticulous layering is crucial for preventing shifting and settling, which can lead to unsightly bumps or ripples down the line. For pet turf, we incorporate additional drainage layers and infill considerations to maximize liquid dispersion and minimize odors, ensuring a hygienic and pleasant environment for your four-legged family members. This comprehensive approach ensures your artificial turf remains pristine and functional for decades.
