Artificial Turf

Artificial turf on a base that drains

Artificial grass only looks good for years if the base under it drains and stays flat. We dig out, build and compact the base, then lay and edge the turf, from a small side yard to the whole lawn.

What's involved

Removing the old lawn, building and compacting the base, setting edges, laying and seaming the turf, and infill. In wet ground the base depth and drainage matter more than the turf you pick.

Common questions

Does artificial turf drain in heavy rain?+

Yes, when the base under it is built to drain. The turf backing is perforated; the base is what carries the water away.
