Artificial Grass Drainage

Why Is Artificial Grass Drainage Important?
Unlike natural grass, artificial turf does not absorb water. Instead, it is engineered to channel water efficiently through a drainage system, preventing standing water and maintaining the usability of the surface. Without an effective drainage system, you may face:
- Water Pooling: Standing water can damage the turf’s base and create an unsightly and unsafe surface.
- Odor Build-Up: Poor drainage can trap water, leading to odors caused by bacteria and stagnant moisture.
- Mold and Mildew Growth: Excess moisture promotes the growth of mold, algae, and mildew, posing potential health hazards.
- Surface Damage: Water that doesn’t drain properly can weaken the structure of the turf, leading to premature wear and tear.
Proper drainage is essential to maintaining the beauty, cleanliness, and functionality of your artificial lawn.
How Carolina Turf Systems Optimizes Artificial Grass Drainage
At Carolina Turf Systems, we don’t just install artificial grass; we design drainage systems that enhance its performance and longevity. Here’s how we ensure your artificial turf drains efficiently:
1. Advanced Permeable Backing
Modern turf features perforated backing that lets water drain quickly—ideal for rain, spills, and pet use.
2. Custom Base Preparation
We grade and compact a crushed stone base to promote drainage and prevent shifting or sinking.
3. French Drains and Grading
In wetter areas, we add French drains and grading to direct excess water away and avoid puddling.
4. Specialized Pet Turf Drainage
Pet turf includes quick-draining backing, pet-friendly infill, and antimicrobial protection for a clean, odor-free yard.
5. Drainage for Sports and High-Traffic Areas
We use reinforced layers and efficient drainage systems to keep athletic and high-use areas dry and durable.
