Local Knowledge — Why Ceres Turf Needs Extra Drainage
Large parts of Ceres — especially south of Hatch Road and west toward Service Road — sit on heavy clay soil. Clay holds water on the surface, and that's disastrous for artificial turf: pooled water breeds bacteria, makes pet installs smell, and causes seam separation over time. On every Ceres job we install weep holes, a 4" crushed rock base (versus the standard 3"), and a permeable geotextile to keep drainage paths clear. It's the difference between a turf install that lasts 15 years and one that fails in 4.
“Another company wanted to just lay it on top. Palmstone explained the clay issue and built proper drainage. Two years in, still perfect.” — Homeowner, Central Ceres
