Artificial Grass Drainage: Avoid Puddles

What happens to the water when it rains?

Fear of puddles is common. However, a properly installed artificial lawn drains faster than compacted natural soil.

The Key Is in the Base

70% of drainage success isn't the grass itself — it's the ground preparation:

  • Crushed gravel: We create a drainage layer that lets water flow beneath the surface.
  • Slopes: We respect or create gentle slopes (1%) towards drains or run-off areas.

Backing Technology

Our models feature drainage holes every 10 cm, able to drain up to 60 litres per minute per square metre. Even during the Levante region's typical torrential storms ("Gota Fría"), your garden will be walkable as soon as the rain stops.
