Both CMB and DG are highly recommended options. Take into account your financial resources and the specific purpose of your turf. In instances where there is a significant amount of foot traffic or when superior drainage is essential, DG may present itself as the more favorable choice.
Components of the Perfect Base
An ideal base for artificial turf commonly consists of three layers:
- Sub-base Layer
Typically made up of excavated soil or crushed rock, this initial layer serves the primary function of establishing a flat base and resolving any drainage concerns within the natural soil.
- Base Layer
This layer, known as the workhorse layer, is usually constructed using CMB or DG and serves the purposes of offering stability, facilitating drainage, and aiding in surface leveling.
- Levelling Layer
The ultimate surface, frequently composed of sand, crushed gravel, or a specialized turf underlayment, is responsible for establishing a polished and finely adjusted area for the installation of the turf, even when installing turf on dirt.
