It should be clarified that eco landscape artificial turf is not a “set it and forget it” solution. The following two points deserve attention:
Base treatment is critical: Before installation, the original soil needs to be compacted, followed by a 5-10 cm crushed stone cushion and leveling layer, to ensure a solid foundation and smooth drainage. Laying the turf directly on bare soil may look even at first, yet it will easily become uneven after half a year of use.
Slightly higher surface temperature in summer: Under direct sunlight, the surface temperature of artificial turf is 5-10℃ higher than that of natural lawn. This can be relieved by planting shade trees, placing sun umbrellas or sprinkling water for cooling. For most families, outdoor activities are mainly arranged in the morning and evening, so the impact is limited.
