Questions
About the base depth planner
Is this the final depth?
No. It is a planning depth from common practice. The crew checks your soil, your drainage and the use before setting the base.
Why does clay need more?
Clay holds water, so a deeper base helps water move away from the turf.
What is a shock pad?
A foam or rubber layer under the turf that adds cushion for play and sports.
