Does water stay on artificial grass?

To answer this question, we first need to understand the structure of artificial turf. Modern artificial turf usually consists of three layers: the surface grass fiber layer, the middle filler layer (such as sand and rubber particles), and the base fabric layer at the bottom. The base fabric layer is usually made of permeable material and has a certain drainage capacity. This means that under normal circumstances, rainwater or other liquids will penetrate through the lawn to the ground below.

However, drainage performance is affected by many factors. First, the preparation of the foundation is crucial. If the foundation is not properly constructed, water may form ponding on the surface. Second, the quality of the filler and base fabric of the artificial turf will also affect the drainage effect. High-quality fillers and base fabrics can more effectively drain excess water and avoid water accumulation.

In addition, the use environment is also a key factor. In areas with heavy precipitation, even high-quality artificial turf may not be able to completely drain all rainwater in a short period of time, resulting in short-term water accumulation. However, this water accumulation is usually temporary, and the water will gradually drain away as the weather improves.

In general, artificial turf has good drainage performance under normal conditions and will not retain water for a long time. The key lies in correct installation and high-quality material selection. If these factors are guaranteed, artificial turf can effectively avoid water accumulation problems and provide a dry and comfortable use environment.

With proper design and maintenance, artificial turf can not only look and feel close to natural turf, but also provide excellent drainage performance, becoming an indispensable part of modern life.
