Drainage and Base Correction

Puddles and soft spots usually mean the base underneath has a problem. We lift the turf, correct the base or add drainage, and relay the turf so water moves through.

Questions

Common questions

Can you fix drainage without replacing all the turf?

Often yes. We lift, correct and relay only the area that needs it.

What causes poor drainage under turf?

A thin or unsloped base, poor compaction or fabric that traps water are common causes.

Will you add drains?

If the site needs them, yes. We plan a French drain or other outlet.
