The following tip is brought to you by Chicago Dream Grass

The Problem


Water expands when it freezes. Even with a porous base, some moisture will reside under your turf, especially during winter months - especially with snow and what have you.

During winter months, this means that you're ground under your turf will expand or 'swell' when it freezes. Then, in spring, as the weather warms you're base will thaw.

This cycle of freezing and thawing will shift and move your base around over time.

The Solution


Install a sufficient compressed gravel base that will minimize shifting and moving of your base over time. With a gravel base you'll also minimize undulations or 'waves' developing in your turf over time due to foot traffic.

Dog Considerations


If you're a dog owner, artificial turf in Chicago also means you'll find a lot of 'gifts' left behind by your dog once the snow melts after winter.

Depending on how many dogs you have, cleaning up your dog droppings can be pretty gross. However, it can't be as bad as it currently is with your natural grass. At least you don't have mud to contend with!

This may be a good time to clean and sweep your turf. You may also want to 'Fluff' your turf. Click Here - to read about Artificial Turf Maintenance and Turf Fluffing.
