01: Turf Fiber

Extruded, recycled plastics come in a variety of constructions, colors and lengths.

02: Infill

Integral to the turf system, infill is comprised of rounded washed silica. Infill provides ballast, aids drainage and can cool surface temperatures

03: Backing

Artificial turf is made by sewing the fiber through two layers of backing. The backing in turn is coated with high grade polyurethane to protect the stitches

04: Aggregate Base

Stone is applied on top of the subgrade (ground) to aid in drainage and provide a properly constructed surface. It is essential that the aggregate be formed and compacted to proper depths. For golf applications especially a second shaping aggregate is added to create undulations and breaks

05: Subgrade

Depending upon where you live, the ground may vary from sand to clay and rock. Properly installed synthetic turf takes this into account, with a base designed to facilitate proper drainage
