It is very important that grading materials placed underneath artificial grass are of quality, and that compaction rate reach approximately 80 percent. Compaction is accomplished by vibrating, tamping and rolling the sub-base materials. This establishes a solid base in which to drive the nails while installing the turf. Compaction of subgrade materials is crucial to a successful installation. If the underlying materials are not compacted, the synthetic turf installation will degrade quickly to foot traffic, water intrusion, wear and tear.<\/p> <p><i>\u201cYour synthetic turf installation is only as good as your subgrade\u201d\u2026 JW<\/i><\/p> <p>This month, Ask JW will dive deep into the subject of \u201cCompaction\u201d and show you that\u00a0<b>ALL<\/b>\u00a0synthetic turf installations, whether it be very small or extremely large needs\u00a0<b>proper compaction<\/b>.<\/p> <p><b>For more information contact J.W. <a href=\"mailto:askjw@sgwcorp.com\">askjw@sgwcorp.com<\/a> or call <a href=\"tel:8888463598\">888.846.3598<\/a><\/b><\/p> <p>To read more about this topic,<br \/> <div class=\"fusion-button-wrapper\"><a class=\"fusion-button button-flat fusion-button-default-size button-custom fusion-button-default button-1 fusion-button-span-no fusion-has-button-gradient special_anim-btn\" style=\"--button_accent_color:#000000;--button_accent_hover_color:#ffffff;--button_border_hover_color:#000000;--button_border_width-top:1px;--button_border_width-right:1px;--button_border_width-bottom:1px;--button_border_width-left:1px;--button_gradient_top_color:rgba(255,255,255,0);--button_gradient_bottom_color:rgba(255,255,255,0);--button_gradient_top_color_hover:rgba(255,255,255,0);--button_gradient_bottom_color_hover:rgba(0,0,0,0);--button_text_transform:uppercase;--button_font_size:20px;--button_padding-top:16px;--button_padding-right:16px;--button_padding-bottom:16px;--button_padding-left:16px;--button_margin-top:30px;--button_margin-right:12px;\" target=\"_self\" href=\"http:\/\/syntheticgrasswarehouse.com\/company\/ask-an-expert\/ask-jw\/the-importance-of-compaction\/\"><span class=\"fusion-button-icon-divider button-icon-divider-left\"><i class=\"fa-angle-double-right fas awb-button__icon awb-button__icon--default\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"fusion-button-text awb-button__text awb-button__text--default fusion-button-text-left\">Learn More<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many synthetic turf installations have depressed areas due to improper  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":30412,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-31378","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ask-jw"],"acf":{"ask_jw_page_link":"http:\/\/syntheticgrasswarehouse.com\/company\/ask-an-expert\/ask-jw\/the-importance-of-compaction\/","global_photo_sets":"","section_1":{"header":"","textblock":""},"section_2":{"textblock":""},"section_3":{"header":"","textblock":""},"section_4":{"textblock":""},"section_5":{"header":"","textblock":""},"warranty":{"textblock":""},"section_6":{"header":"","textblock":""},"video_link":"","transcript":"","video_link_proof":"","transcript_proof":""},"origin_id":"","yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
