Drainage problems are one of the most common reasons people decide to install artificial grass in San Jose. Real grass needs a lot of water, but too much can ruin it, and inefficient drainage can make the problem worse. It’s not just about puddles and muddy spots. Poor drainage can also kill turf and cause other issues like fungus growth.

Artificial grass is immune to drainage problems. It doesn’t have any roots and fibers that absorb moisture. Even if it’s been wet for a long time, it won’t catch turf diseases or die. That means these drainage issues have no impact on it.

Lawn Bubbles

Lawn bubbles form when water collects at the bottom of the lawn because it can’t drain properly. This can cause patches of dead grass that have pockets of water underneath. You can pop the bubble with a shovel, but that won’t keep the problem from repeating the next time it rains.

A drainage system will prevent lawn bubbles by letting excess water drain away from your lawn and into the ground. Artificial turf in San Jose can provide this. Besides a permeable backing and a drainage-boosting infill, it also sits on top of a great drainage system.
