Turf Drainage & Base Prep — What to Know
So, what does proper turf drainage and base prep actually involve here in Savannah? First, it starts with an assessment of your existing soil – that characteristic Georgia clay. We often need to amend or remove significant portions of it to create a stable, permeable foundation. Our process typically involves excavating to the correct depth, ensuring proper slope for efficient water runoff, and then laying down a high-quality geotextile fabric. This fabric acts as a barrier, preventing our fine clay from migrating into our drainage layers. Next, we meticulously install a multi-layered aggregate base, usually crushed granite or limestone, compacting each layer to create a firm, level surface that won't settle or shift. For pet turf drainage, we integrate specialized infill and often supplemental drainage layers to quickly wick away liquids and minimize odors. The goal is to ensure that even after Savannah's heaviest downpours, water drains efficiently through the turf and base, preventing puddling and extending the life of your beautiful new lawn.
