Drain Core

Proper drainage is one of the most important factors in a successful artificial turf installation in Austin, TX, especially for surfaces installed over concrete patios, rooftops, decks, or hardscape areas. At LawnPop®, our Drain Core system is designed to enhance water flow beneath synthetic grass surfaces, helping prevent puddling, odor buildup, and moisture retention. This advanced drainage layer allows rainwater and other liquids to move efficiently away from the turf, keeping the artificial grass surface clean, dry, and ready for use year-round.

Drain Core is commonly used for pet-friendly artificial turf, rooftop turf systems, event turf, and artificial grass installations where high drainage capacity is essential. For homeowners and businesses searching for artificial turf Austin Texas solutions that perform in all weather conditions, LawnPop® combines professional installation with advanced drainage technology to ensure long-lasting, low-maintenance synthetic grass surfaces.

Designated for areas where maximum drainage and all-weather use are imperative, these cellular ½-inch drainage mats are installed directly under the turf. The drain core system can collect and transport as much as 16 gallons per minute.

Drain Core is great for applications where the synthetic turf is being installed over concrete. Once the Drain Core is installed, cut and place the turf as you would for normal installations. The edges need to be secured properly to ensure lifting.

Why risk contaminants penetrating and lingering on the concrete surface? Installing Drain Core allows fluids to be flushed out efficiently, following the slope of the area. Drain Core, which is often used beneath surfaces like fake grass rentals, is engineered to replace the traditional perforated pipe and stone drainage systems. It offers a substantially higher flow rate, along with enhanced ease of handling and installation.
