Sub Base for Artificial Grass & Turf

Simply put, Ultra Base is the best material for creating a sub base for artificial grass and synthetic turf construction projects. Our systems cut installation time by approximately 40% while reducing the need for heavy construction equipment. With Ultra Base, you complete more installations, more safely, with less damage to the environment.

Ultra Base panels are a better option than traditional aggregates like crush miscellaneous base (CMB), Class II road base, and decomposed granite/limestone chippings for several reasons. Ultra Base panels offer a stable foundation base system for your artificial grass, while traditional aggregates can shift and settle over time, causing unevenness in the surface. Ultra-Base panels have been rigorously tested and developed to meet the unique needs of synthetic turf installations, including superior water drainage. Ultra-Base panels provide excellent drainage capabilities due to the patented design, which allows water to filter into the ground or run horizontally through the panel’s exterior drain ports.

Ultra Base panels are easier and quicker to install than traditional aggregates, which requires a significant amount of labor and time to prepare and compact the surface before laying the artificial grass. In contrast, Ultra Base panels can be easily assembled and installed, saving time and reducing labor costs.

Overall, Ultra Base panels offer superior stability, drainage, and ease of installation compared to traditional aggregates, making them a better sub base material for artificial turf.

Less Time = Less Labor = Less Cost

Plus, Ultra Base works better than traditional 4” rock bases.

The installation practices shown above have proven to be successful in many installation scenarios, however every installation environment is different. If/when there are concerns or questions about soil drainage or stability, hiring a professional geo-engineer is always advised.

1. The Ultra Base System is designed to conform to contours in the landscape while still providing a smooth, even surface. Plus, the panel design provides superior vertical and horizontal flow – ideal for use in areas where drainage is a concern.

2. Ultra Base Panels align perfectly to create an even, safe surface with superior draining capabilities ideal for high traffic facilities.

3. The lightweight design of Ultra Base Systems makes them ideal for load-restricted applications like this rooftop putting course.

4. Ultra Base Systems are an ideal solution for artificial grass fields.

Ultra Base Systems provides three unique drainage panels with different levels of support and drainage. Depending on your chosen surface application, you can choose from which tile will work best for your space. Ultra Base drainage tiles keep your surface dry and ready for max performance.
