There are perforation holes every 6”. Studies show the turf will drain very similar to you existing yard. During heavy rainfall the water will run towards the storm drains. During this time the water is draining through these perf holes. We will advise at time of visit of any drainage issues.

Base is dependant on the application. Typically we install a base that is 3-4” thick. The material is based on the application as well however crusher run and limestone for fine grading are the go to aggregates and we find the most successful for our area.

*For new build applications the architect will define the requirements.

We first rough grade with ¾ crushed limestone. We then fine grade with limestone screenings. Please note that we use a vibratory tamper to compact the subgrade prior to base construction and use the same tamper throughout. In the case of putting greens we take extra precautions. We install a

geotextile to separate the sub base from the crushed stone base.  We also stabilize the sub base with Portland when required. We compact our base to 90% proctor. If a commercial job, the architect will stipulate the depth of base and type of base material.

The Ultra Base System is gaining in popularity as it helps with drainage in difficult areas as well as grade stability and ball roll consistency in Golf Green applications.
