What is the best thing to put under artificial grass?

There are 3 very good sub-base materials you can place underneath artificial grass. The first is called crushed misc. base, the second is called Class II road base and the third is decomposed granite. To pick the best of these three call an expert or two and see what they say.

The sub-base is very important for the look of the artificial grass as well as for how long the turf will last. It is best to get advice from the pros before you start your digging as you may need to dig as deep as 10 inches before you start laying the sub base.

Can I just lay artificial grass on soil?

You could but the look of the artificial grass would not be very pleasing or attractive. Since the natural surface will expand and contract with the changing temperatures and seasons, the artificial grass will develop wrinkles, gaps or soft spots.

You need a good sub-base in order to maintain the natural look of the fake grass. The right sub base will protect the turf from any settling or expansion, etc., helping it to last longer

What are the disadvantages of artificial grass?

While there are plenty of advantages to having artificial grass in your yard, the disadvantages may change your mind. The fake grass can get hot and reach temperatures up to 150 degrees F. Then it can melt if the temperatures are hot enough outside.

If that isn’t enough some versions can give off a bad rubber odor which will detract from the experience of having artificial grass. The texture can get rough and make your feet uncomfortable when you walk on it without any shoes.
