How It Works
Water Filters Straight Through to the Soil Below
-
Upper Layer: Finer gravel or decomposed granite for leveling and stability.
-
Lower Layer: Large crushed stone (3/4 inch aggregate) for structural support and water dispersion.
How It Works: The lower layer acts as a reservoir, allowing water to disperse and drain into the soil, while the finer upper layer provides a smooth, stable surface for turf installation.
Pro Tip: For pet areas, use infill materials like Zeo-Odour Zeolite with no weed barrier, combined with dual or triple-layer systems for optimal odour control and drainage performance.
Ideal Applications
Where a 2-Layer System Makes Sense
Moderate to high traffic areas such as backyards, commercial spaces, or pet-friendly lawns.
Regions with moderate rainfall where enhanced drainage is required.
In pet areas, this system prevents odour build-up by improving drainage flow.
