At Echoing Green, our selection of artificial grass is designed to enable drainage. When paired with artificial grass maintenance and turf cleaning, you can count on long-lasting landscaping. 

How Drainage Works in Artificial Grass

Draining in artificial grass installations is extremely important to prevent water accumulation and ponding. Especially with dogs, you want to avoid their waste sitting there to form an unpleasant smell. Proper draining will remove those smells and keep a fresh backyard. 

Here is how artificial grass enables drainage:

• There is first a layer of crushed-up gravel, which is the permeable base that allows the water to pass through
• Artificial grass is generally installed on a grade, sloping away from the building to prevent water backups. 
• Infill is installed at the base of the artificial grass, helping water move away from the surface of the turf.
• The sun and warmth promote quick evaporation to keep a dry artificial grass surface.

Other Artificial Grass Cleaning Methods

Whether you DIY your artificial grass cleaning or call a professional to get the job done, it’s crucial to perform this routine regularly, no matter the climate. Going through with a broom is an easy way to get rid of loose dust and dirt that travels into the grass. Conducting artificial grass maintenance at least once a year with Echoing Green ensures the best possible care for your grass and promotes longevity in your backyard.
