Artificial Grass Drainage
The Foundation of a Beautiful, Functional Lawnby Carolina Turf Systems
In commercial environments, artificial turf must perform — and that performance starts with drainage.
At Carolina Turf Systems, we specialize in building high-performing turf systems with engineered drainage to support heavy usage, enhance safety, and reduce long-term maintenance. Whether it’s a sports facility, public park, office complex, or rooftop terrace, our drainage systems ensure your artificial turf stays functional, clean, and durable in any weather.
Commercial Drainage Solutions for Every Application
We deliver custom drainage strategies for a variety of commercial installations, including:
- Sports Fields & Athletic Surfaces – Built to handle high-use scenarios with fast drainage and reinforced sub-bases.
- Playgrounds & Schools – Keeps surfaces dry and safe for daily use, even after storms.
- Retail & Office Landscapes – Boost curb appeal with clean, vibrant turf that never puddles.
- Municipal Areas & Parks – Maintain green, public-facing spaces with minimal upkeep.
- Multifamily & HOA Developments – Provide low-maintenance amenities that stay attractive year-round.
Why Proper Drainage Matters in Commercial Turf Projects
Unlike natural grass, synthetic turf doesn’t absorb water — it must channel and drain it efficiently. Without a robust drainage solution, commercial turf installations risk:
- Water Pooling: Creates safety hazards and weakens turf integrity.
- Odor & Bacteria Buildup: Especially in high-traffic and pet-friendly areas.
- Mold & Mildew Growth: Excess moisture degrades surfaces and poses health risks.
- Premature Surface Breakdown: Poor drainage reduces lifespan and increases maintenance costs.
In commercial applications, failure to plan for drainage is a costly mistake. That’s why it’s central to everything we do.
Our Approach to Artificial Grass Drainage
At Carolina Turf Systems, we incorporate industry-proven drainage strategies into every installation, from site planning to final walkthrough:
Advanced Permeable Turf Backings: Commercial-grade turf with perforated backing allows fast water flow — essential for rain, cleaning, or irrigation runoff.
Custom Grading & Base Preparation: We install compacted aggregate bases tailored to your site’s usage patterns and slope, ensuring optimal drainage and surface stability.
Integrated Drainage Infrastructure: For large or complex projects, we install French drains, trench systems, and sloped subgrades to handle heavy water flow and eliminate puddling.
High-Traffic Surface Reinforcement: We incorporate geotextile fabrics and layered systems to support heavy foot traffic, rolling loads, and sports use — all while maintaining drainage efficiency.
Specialized Systems for Unique Environments: Rooftop applications, event venues, or pet relief areas? We design with drainage requirements specific to your environment and usage.
