Can you lay artificial grass in a area of poor drainage

Posted by Sean Usher, on Sun 10 Apr 2016 05:52pm

I'm looking to get artificial grass as my current lawn has poor drainage, causing the grass to die and grow moss, would I still need to install drainage before laying the artificial grass?

Only if the ground is very soft. As when you walk on it .it just sinks . Put layers of small stons and grit and than lay your astro turf . Hope this helps .

yes you do. To do a proffessional job you would remove all top soil and replace with to layers of stone. The first a 40mm clean stone and then a small grit for you to lay the astro turf down on. Some people cut corners for a quick option but you can easily have the materials delivered by any builders merchant or quarry.
