Turf Drainage & Base Prep — What to Know

Our approach to turf drainage and base prep in Loretto is a comprehensive process designed for longevity. First, we meticulously excavate the existing soil, paying close attention to the often-dense Georgia clay turf base. This isn't just digging; it's about creating the right depth and slope for optimal water flow. Next, we install a high-quality geotextile fabric. This crucial layer acts as a barrier, preventing the native soil from mixing with our meticulously laid base materials while still allowing water to pass through freely. Then comes the critical base layer itself, typically composed of crushed granite or limestone, compacted in lifts to create a stable, permeable foundation. For areas designated as pet turf, we integrate additional elements like specialized infill and often a perforated drain tile system to ensure superior pet turf drainage and odor control. This proper installation prevents issues like pooling water, uneven surfaces, and premature wear, ensuring your artificial lawn remains beautiful and functional for years to come, no matter how much rain we get or how active your furry friends are.
