Artificial Turf’s Ultra-Efficient Drainage

Properties all over the Sacramento area are switching to artificial grass landscaping due to its numerous aesthetic and financial benefits. One such benefit of installing artificial grass in your home or business is the inclusion of a highly efficient drainage system such as AirDrain. AirDrain is a geocell drainage grid created by Airfield Services that provides unparalleled efficiency in turf drainage rates. If you’re considering synthetic grass installation for your property, speak to a professional about product drain rates and which synthetic turf option is right for you.

How Does Artificial Turf Drainage Work?

AirDrain is an advanced geocell drainage grid that creates a one-inch air void underneath your artificial grass lawn. It elevates the synthetic grass in order to allow air to circulate and water to drain through rapidly. AirDrain is made from 100 percent recycled copolymer, which means that it will withstand extreme temperatures without sacrificing performance. By creating a pocket of space between the artificial grass and the concrete, the drainage system is able to flush away pet waste and other bacteria with unrivaled efficiency. This keeps your lawn clean and sanitary for you and your family to enjoy.

Drain Rates Perfect for Pet Turf

Artificial turf’s 100 percent vertical drainage makes it the ideal landscaping solution for kennels, dog parks, vet clinics, or homes with pets. Liquid and solid pet waste can be washed away quickly thanks to the 92 percent air void underneath the synthetic turf, so you can keep the area as clean and odor-free as possible. A flushing system can also be installed for even greater drainage capabilities. This system is low cost and easy to install, utilizing any water source and inexpensive PVC piping.

Synthetic Grass Drainage for Playgrounds

Synthetic turf’s efficient drainage is advantageous for kids’ areas such as playgrounds as well. For play area turf, the drainage system is placed on top of the polygreen foam pad that protects kids from impact falls. The artificial grass and infill are then placed on top of the drainage system to complete the installation. All playground areas need proper water drainage in order to keep the area dry and free from bacteria. Playground drainage also results in a more stable surface area and consistent HIC testing results, making it a generally safer play surface for children.

With a drainage capability of more than 30 inches per hour per square yard, Sacramento residents never have to worry about flooded lawns or slip and fall risks.
