Good-Drainage PE Turf for Lowcountry

Engineered specifically for waterlogged regions (e.g., coastal lowlands, flood-prone areas), this turf features a multi-layer drainage system that handles heavy rainfall (150mm/hour—equivalent to a tropical downpour) without pooling.

Product Overview


The 30-40mm PE yarn (soft yet durable) and permeable backing (with hexagonal 5mm drainage holes) make it ideal for low-lying areas prone to flooding, such as coastal Florida, Southeast Asia, or the UK’s marshy regions. Tested in areas with annual rainfall exceeding 2000mm, it ensures no waterlogging even after 4 hours of continuous rain, keeping surfaces usable within 5 minutes of rainfall stopping.


PE Turf for Lowcountry


Product Features


High-Speed Drainage: Pencil-sized (5mm) holes in the backing (spaced 10cm apart in a hexagonal pattern) distribute water flow evenly, avoiding local water accumulation. The turf’s base layer (optional crushed stone + geotextile membrane) enhances drainage to 80L/m²/min, preventing water from seeping into the subsoil and causing erosion.


Mildew Resistance: Anti-microbial backing (treated with silver ion technology) prevents mold, mildew, and algae growth in humid environments—common issues with standard turf that trap moisture. The treatment lasts the turf’s entire lifespan (8 years), no reapplication needed.


Soil Stabilization: Reinforced backing (200gsm polypropylene) reduces soil erosion on sloped lowcountry terrain (up to 10% slope), anchoring the turf to the ground and preventing it from shifting during floods. The yarn also resists damage from standing water, avoiding rot or discoloration.


Applications


Coastal residential lawns (e.g., Florida, Carolina lowlands) prone to storm surges

Golf course tee boxes and bunkers (where drainage is critical for playability)

Wetland park boardwalks and nature reserve trails (blends with natural surroundings)

Low-lying residential communities and retirement home gardens (flood-safe, easy to walk on)

Botanical garden pathways (humid environments with frequent rain)


FAQ


Drainage Performance

Q: Will it flood during hurricanes or heavy storms?

A: No, it evacuates water 3x faster than standard turf (80L/m²/min vs. 25L/m²/min), preventing standing water even during category 1 hurricane rainfall (150mm/hour).


Q: Will the drainage system get clogged with soil or leaves?

A: The 5mm holes are large enough to prevent clogging; for heavy leaf fall (e.g., autumn), a monthly rinse with a low-pressure washer (500PSI) keeps holes clear.


Installation

Q: Does it require a special base for optimal drainage?

A: A 5cm gravel sub-base + geotextile membrane is recommended for clay soils (which drain slowly), but it can be installed over sand or existing concrete with proper drainage gaps.


Q: How long does installation take in wet conditions?

A: Professional installation takes 2-3 days for 100m², even in light rain—no delays needed, as the turf’s backing repels water during installation.


Longevity

Q: How does humidity affect lifespan?

A: The anti-microbial treatment and UV-stabilized yarn ensure an 8-year lifespan in subtropical climates (e.g., Thailand, Florida), with no mildew damage or color fading.


Q: Will standing water damage the turf?

A: No—tested with 72 hours of continuous standing water, the turf shows no fiber rot or backing degradation, unlike standard turf that breaks down in 48 hours.
