How It Works
Water Filters Straight Through to the Soil Below
Water filters through the turf and drains directly into the compacted base. The base material allows for basic water dispersion into the natural soil below.
This system is ideal for DIY projects and smaller-scale installations.
Pro Tip: Always evaluate the soil’s natural drainage and the installation area’s intended use to choose the proper drainage system.
Ideal Applications
Where a Single-Layer System Makes Sense
Dry climates or regions with naturally well-draining soil.
Small residential areas with minimal foot traffic.
Cost-sensitive projects that prioritize budget over heavy-duty performance.
