Landscape Artificial Grass
Tianyou's landscape artificial grass combines year‑round vibrant colour, excellent drainage, and minimal maintenance – making it the ideal choice for gardens, parks, and commercial spaces. However, long‑term performance depends on proper base preparation. We guide you through the three main foundation types (asphalt, concrete, and gravel) and provide detailed specifications for flatness (≤3mm/5m), slopes (longitudinal ≤5‰, transverse ≤8‰), compaction (≥95% density), and curing. Our expert team ensures your turf stays beautiful, safe, and functional for decades.

Vibrant, Low‑Maintenance Turf – With the Right Foundation
Enjoy a lush, evergreen surface all year round. But to ensure decades of performance, the base beneath the turf must be engineered to exacting standards. We provide the complete guide to selecting and preparing the optimal foundation.
Why Landscape Artificial Grass?
Landscape artificial grass has become the go‑to solution for residential gardens, commercial plazas, public parks, and rooftop terraces. Its benefits are clear:
- ✔ Year‑round vibrancy – stays green and lush in all seasons.
- ✔ Excellent drainage – engineered to prevent waterlogging.
- ✔ Long service life – 10–15 years with proper care.
- ✔ Low maintenance – no mowing, watering, or fertilising.
- ✔ Environmentally friendly – saves water and reduces carbon footprint.
However, the longevity and performance of any artificial grass installation are directly tied to the quality of its foundation. A poorly prepared base leads to uneven surfaces, poor drainage, premature wear, and costly repairs.
✔ Core Advantages
- 🌿 Lush, natural appearance
- 💧 Superior drainage
- 🛡️ Durable & weatherproof
- 🧹 Minimal upkeep
- 💰 Cost‑effective over time
- 🔧 Base expertise available
Choosing the Right Foundation – Three Base Types
The choice depends on climate, budget, and project timeline. Each has distinct advantages and limitations.
🛣️ Asphalt Base
- • Ideal for cold climates with large temperature variations.
- • Excellent stability and load‑bearing capacity.
- • High cost – not economical for warm, humid regions.
- • Provides a smooth, consistent surface.
🏗️ Concrete Base
- • Most popular in China – economic and versatile.
- • Excellent strength, durability, and flatness.
- • Suitable for most climates with proper jointing.
- • Offers the best value for money.
🪨 Gravel / Crushed Stone Base
- • Simple and low‑cost – common in southern regions.
- • Excellent drainage properties.
- • Requires careful compaction and grading.
- • Less stable than asphalt or concrete; may settle over time.
Concrete Base Specifications – The Most Common Choice
For most projects, a concrete (cement) foundation offers the best balance of cost and performance. The following technical requirements ensure a flawless installation and decades of reliable use.
| Requirement | Specification | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Flatness | ≤3 mm deviation over 5‑metre straightedge; 95%+ compliance | Ensures uniform turf thickness and even elasticity. |
| Longitudinal Slope | ≤ 5‰ (0.5%) | Facilitates surface water runoff along the length. |
| Transverse Slope | ≤ 8‰ (0.8%) | Ensures lateral drainage; semi‑circle areas ≤5‰. |
| Surface Finish | Smooth, flat, no cracks, no rough edges, joints flush | Prevents turf damage and ensures aesthetic appearance. |
| Strength & Compaction | Compaction density ≥95%; no visible wheel ruts after medium roller | Provides stable, load‑bearing foundation. |
| Base Curing | Cure for 2–3 weeks after pouring | Allows concrete to reach full strength; prevents shrinkage cracks. |
| Sub‑base Compaction | No loose soil, dust, or undulations | Ensures even support and prevents settlement. |
🌍 Climate‑Specific Recommendations
- ✔ Northern / cold regions – Asphalt base recommended due to its resistance to freeze‑thaw cycles and temperature extremes.
- ✔ Southern / warm & humid regions – Gravel base is often chosen for its low cost and excellent drainage.
- ✔ Most of China / temperate zones – Concrete (cement) base offers the best overall value, performance, and ease of construction.
