Step 1 - Base Depth & Application
▸ Base Depth:
▸ Sub-base heights may vary from climate to climate and from project to project. A 4” base is the
standard recommended base; however, in some arid climates, the sub-base may be as low as 2”.
In colder climates, a deeper base of 4” will most likely be needed to aid in the ground’s expansion
and contraction due to freezing weather.
▸ Base Application:
▸ As a general rule of thumb, 1 TON (2,000 LBS) of rock base will cover approximately 100 sq ft. of
artificial turf a 2” sub-base. If you need a 4” base, you need 4000 LBS. Spread the sub-base
material around your project area evenly as possible. You may want to use the back of a bow rake
or similar tool.
