Artificial Grass Drainage & Base Planning

Look beneath the green.

Drainage is a site system. A backing that allows water through does not repair poor falls, blocked outlets or defects below it. Ask how water travels through the whole proposed build-up and how drains stay accessible.

From the material library

Drainage is a site system

Check where water will go below the turf and how it reaches existing outlets. Keep drains accessible for cleaning. Do not assume a permeable-looking backing resolves poor falls, blocked drains or a waterproofing defect beneath it.

Ask the installer to distinguish a soil-based garden build-up from work over concrete or decking. Namgrass provides a product-specific installation sequence; its garden base details are not automatically a specification for a Singapore balcony.

Turn the idea into a project brief

Begin with the actual space, the existing surface and the intended result. Keep photographs, measurements and the proposed reference together so the supplier and installer are working from the same brief. Review these details before approving the sample:

  • Existing base. Record the proposed detail and the source used to confirm it.
  • falls. Record the proposed detail and the source used to confirm it.
  • outlets. Record the proposed detail and the source used to confirm it.
  • access. Record the proposed detail and the source used to confirm it.
  • backing and separate waterproofing responsibilities. Record the proposed detail and the source used to confirm it.

Review appearance in the room’s light and beside retained finishes. An editorial image can help with proportion and mood; it cannot establish the physical texture, exact colour or documented performance of the product you will order.

Keep a reference-specific product record

Record What to obtain
Identity Brand, collection, reference code, finish and current document edition.
Construction Existing base; falls; outlets. Identify the complete proposed configuration.
Application Written suitability and exposure limits for the exact location, with unanswered points marked for confirmation.
Installation Current instructions, supporting products, preparation responsibilities and details at interruptions.
Care & local terms Reference-specific care guidance, supplier warranty, availability and arrangements for later matching or repair.

Keep product evidence separate from an installer’s quotation and the supplier’s local terms. A document for another range or assembly should not be treated as proof for the reference being offered. Use the material evidence guide to organise the record.

Agree on scope before ordering

Ask the proposal to distinguish material supply, removal, preparation, installation and finishing. Resolve access, protection of retained surfaces, waste allowance and any separately commissioned work. Compare alternatives using the same project scope, rather than a headline material price.

Before handover, keep approved samples, product codes, care documents and the final installation record together. Clarify which spare material or reference information should be retained and how any outstanding work will be documented.

Questions before you commit

Does the material or brand name establish suitability?

No. The exact reference, proposed location and complete installation need to be checked together. Ask the supplier to resolve any missing evidence before ordering.

Can an inspiration image replace a physical sample?

No. Use imagery to discuss composition, then review a physical sample and current product documents for the supplied reference.

What should a useful quotation include?

It should identify the exact reference and the installed scope, including preparation, finishing, responsibilities, exclusions and the supplier’s local terms.
