<p>SAN JOSE — <em>Troy Scott:</em> Hey guys, so, most of the time when you&#8217;re choosing your artificial grass, you think that it&#8217;s over. You&#8217;ve gotten the look and the feel that you&#8217;re after. But what you have to consider is actually the base, and a lot of people call it the sub-base, but a lot of different options take place underneath the turf that people don&#8217;t consider. So, here we&#8217;re looking at the base from a profile, and you can see that we have about three inches. We recommend three inches because it&#8217;s actually your drainage. There&#8217;s other items in here such as air drain and there&#8217;s other materials that you need to consider as the base components. Also considered underneath the turf are elements like this, which is Gopher Guard, commonly used to protect your yard from being torn up by, of course, gophers. Another base item is something called PDS Tile. This is used to form a layer between the turf and the rooftops, so that you have a usable area in large high rises and so forth. And then finally, there&#8217;s alternatives to base, such as Air Pave or Air Drain. This is designed to carry weight, like we did in the installation in front of Chase Center, where the trucks have to drive over it. It&#8217;s also used in another way to help with air drainage for dog urine. As you can see, there are other items to choose for below the turf, including base and the other options that are available to you.</p>
