Drainage Benefits

There can be many benefits by having an area which is adequately drained, in particular the production of a drier surface.

Other benefits can include the following:
• A rootzone with more air present for micro-organism activities;
• A surface which is more playable for longer periods of time;
• Increased carrying capacity.
• A reduction or elimination of match cancellations;
• Improved grass rooting, especially depth of rooting;
• A soil which is quicker to warm up, especially in springtime;
• Ability for roots to explore further for nutrients within a soil.
• A harder wearing sward.
• A better anchored turf, providing improved traction for players.
• A more drought resistant sward, with roots being able to explore further for available water.
• A healthier sward and rootzone.
• A more disease resistant sward.
• An improvement in the overall quality of a turfgrass surface.
