Blocked Drains Harrogate

Are you considering installing artificial grass in your North Yorkshire home or business? If so, you're likely wondering what to put under the turf to ensure proper drainage. At Blocked Drains Harrogate, we've got the expertise to guide you through the process.

Artificial grass is a popular choice for many homeowners and businesses in North Yorkshire, but it requires a proper base to function effectively. Without adequate drainage, water can accumulate under the turf, leading to a range of problems, including:

• Weed growth: Excess water can create an ideal environment for weeds to grow, which can compromise the appearance and durability of your artificial grass.
• Turf lifting: Waterlogged soil can cause the turf to lift, creating uneven surfaces and potentially damaging the underlying base.
• Reduced lifespan: Poor drainage can significantly reduce the lifespan of your artificial grass, requiring costly replacements.

To ensure proper drainage under your artificial grass, you'll need to create a porous base. Here are some options:

• Sand: A layer of compacted sand is an excellent choice for artificial grass drainage. Sand allows water to percolate through, reducing the risk of waterlogging.
• Porous concrete: A porous concrete base can be used under artificial grass, allowing water to drain through the surface.
• Tarmac: A tarmac base can be used, but it's essential to ensure it's porous to prevent water accumulation.

To install a drainage-friendly base, follow these steps:

1. Clear the area: Remove any debris, vegetation, or existing surfaces.
2. Lay a compacted base: Install a compacted layer of sand, porous concrete, or tarmac.
3. Add a weed membrane: Install a weed membrane to prevent weed growth and ensure the base remains stable.
4. Lay the artificial grass: Install the artificial grass, ensuring it's securely fastened to the base.
