How Well Does Synthetic Turf Drain?

residential artificial turf installationOne of the best things about artificial turf is its superior draining abilities. There are small holes in the backing, which lets the water drain through to the subsoil. The subsoil comprises an absorbent material, typically crushed rubble or gravel. When it rains, the base can “store” extra water, and this water seeps slowly through to the integrated draining pipes underneath.
