Turf Drainage & Base Prep — What to Know

Our process for turf drainage and base prep in Shannon begins with a thorough assessment of your specific site and its unique characteristics. We start by excavating to the appropriate depth, removing existing organic material and ensuring a stable sub-grade. Next, we address the infamous Georgia clay turf base by introducing a compacted aggregate layer. This crucial step creates a highly permeable foundation, essential for effective turf drainage. For properties with pets, our specialized pet turf drainage systems often incorporate additional measures, like dedicated infill and sometimes even a highly permeable sub-base, to efficiently wick away liquids and odors. We meticulously grade the area to ensure optimal water runoff away from structures and into designated drainage points. This detailed preparation guarantees a level, stable surface for the artificial turf, preventing dips and humps, and ensuring a long-lasting, beautiful lawn.
