Depends on the size (or diameters) of the crushed rock. Bigger sized crushed rack can be used as a drainage base and finer crushed rocks (less than 1/4” in diameter) can be used for compacted smooth bases for the artificial grass to be laid on. You do not have to use the exact materials we specified as certain areas don’t offer those base materials, anything similar to our recommendations will work just fine. More importantly is the purpose of using such materials: for drainage and solid smooth surface preparations.

The cost of artificial grass and paver projects are very similar even though the materials cost can vary. The way of artificial grass being installed is very similar with that of pavers: excavation of soil ground, preparation of drainage base and compacted smooth surface, such installations require some hard labor along with bulk materials such as drain rocks and decomposed granites. Given such installation similarities, the cost of installing artificial grass and pavers can be compatible: Even though paver installations can take relatively longer as you need to lay them down piece by piece, but pavers won’t need other accessories such as seaming tape, glues, installation nails and infills which are needed for artificial grass installation.

Like anything else, artificial grass will expand and contract when temperature changes from cold to hot or vs, this is the law of physics. However, we do have solutions for that. When we manufacture our artificial turf products, we use two solid layer of primary backing materials which dramatically increase the stabilities of our products. At the installation stage, we require installers to anchor all the edges of the artificial lawn by using 5-7" nails, proper stretch out the grass during the installation, and put average of 2 lbs of infills per sq ft. Combinations of having products made with best stability and manufacturer required installation procedures will significantly minimize the expansions or contraction issues.
