| Layer | Recommended Material | Key Function | XY Grass Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sub-Base | Crushed Rock (3/4" Minus) or Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA) | Primary load-bearing layer, provides foundational stability and coarse drainage. | We provide gradation analysis reports to ensure perfect compaction and permeability. |
| Base Layer | Decomposed Granite (DG) or Crushed Fines | Creates a smooth, stable, and compactable surface for turf placement. | Our pre-blended, low-clay-content fines eliminate shifting and ensure uniform density. |
| Weed Barrier | Non-Woven Geotextile Fabric | Prevents weed growth, separates base from subsoil, allows water passage. | High-strength, permeable fabric included in complete turnkey base kits. |
| Optional Binding | Polymer Stabilizer (for high-traffic areas) | Binds aggregate particles for extreme stability, ideal for sports fields or vehicle traffic. | Access to specialized additives for OEM/ODM projects with unique requirements. |

"Switching to XY Grass's specified base aggregate reduced our installation prep time by 20% and eliminated callbacks for surface leveling. Their consistent gradation is unmatched by local suppliers."

We operate a powerful, integrated factory controlling production from raw material to palletization. This ensures not only quality but also compliance for export:
Cost-effectiveness considers total lifecycle cost, not just material price. Crushed recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) or properly graded quarry fines often provide the optimal balance of low initial cost and high long-term performance when compacted correctly. We can provide budget-optimized specifications.
Yes. As a turnkey supplier, we can provide the complete material package: primary aggregate, stabilizing fines, and high-quality geotextile fabric. This simplifies procurement, ensures compatibility, and often reduces total landed cost.
Absolutely. We provide free 2kg sample kits of our key aggregate blends so you can test for color, gradation, and compaction. Contact us with your project details to request.
For exported base materials, standard MOQ is one 20ft or 40ft container to optimize shipping. We can mix materials (e.g., aggregate + turf rolls) within a single container.
Standard terms: 30% deposit, 70% before shipment via T/T or L/C. Delivery time is 10-15 days after deposit for in-stock materials, plus shipping transit time. We provide FOB, CIF, or DAP quotes based on your port.
"Solved our drainage issues. We used their recommended 3/4" crushed rock base on a soccer field project in Florida. After two heavy rainy seasons, zero pooling. The field is perfectly level. Their technical advice was as valuable as the product."
David L., Project Manager, Sunshine Sports Surfaces"As a wholesaler, I appreciate the OEM packaging. We order base materials and turf together, and they ship in one container with our private label. It streamlines our logistics and presents a unified brand to our customers. Quality is consistently reliable."
Sarah K., Owner, GreenScape Wholesale (UK)"The cost savings were substantial. Sourcing a comparable, consistent-grade aggregate locally was 25% more expensive. Even with shipping from China, the total cost was lower, and the material was ready to use without additional screening."
