| Component | Specification & Purpose | XY Grass Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Sub-Base Material | Provides stability and drainage. Typically crushed granite or limestone. | 3/8" minus decomposed granite, compacted in 1.5" layers to 90-95% Proctor density. |
| Base Depth | Determines longevity and load-bearing capacity. | Residential: 2-3 inches. Commercial/Sports: 4+ inches. |
| Turf Backing | Primary (PP) for stability; Secondary (SBR/Latex) for durability. | Dual-layer PP + reinforced latex backing for maximum seam strength and dimensional stability. |
| Infill Material | Supports blades, provides cushioning, and adds weight. | Silica sand (10-15 lbs/sq yd) + rounded TPE/rubber granules (3-5 lbs/sq yd) for optimal performance. |
| Drainage Rate | Critical for preventing water accumulation. | Our turf features full-perforated backing with a drainage rate exceeding 30 inches/hour. |
