Turf Drainage & Base Prep — What to Know

Our turf drainage and base prep process starts with a thorough assessment of your Scottdale property's unique characteristics. For our infamous Georgia clay turf base, we typically begin with excavating the topsoil, then laying down a permeable geotextile fabric. This acts as a barrier, preventing the clay from mixing with our drainage layers while still allowing water to pass through. Next comes the crucial aggregate layer – usually crushed granite or limestone – meticulously graded and compacted to create a stable, free-draining foundation. For pet turf drainage, we incorporate specialized infills and potentially additional subsurface drainage systems to swiftly whisk away pet waste and odors. This meticulous proper installation ensures that whether it’s a quick summer shower or a prolonged downpour, water moves efficiently through your turf, preventing puddling and extending the life of your artificial grass. It's all about setting your Scottdale turf up for success.
