Grass on TRASS: The Permeable, Stable Artificial Turf Solution

Artificial turf is a popular choice for homeowners and commercial properties looking for a low-maintenance, evergreen lawn. However, traditional turf installation methods often come with challenges like poor drainage, shifting, and settling over time. Enter Grass on TRASS, a game-changing system that combines ROMEX TRASS BED with artificial turf to create a stable, permeable, and long-lasting foundation.

Why TRASS BED for Artificial Turf?

Typical artificial turf installations rely on compacted dense-grade aggregate bases, which can settle, shift, and even create drainage issues. ROMEX TRASS BED changes the game by offering a highly stable yet permeable bedding layer that ensures:

No Shifting or Settling

TRASS BED forms a bonded yet breathable foundation, preventing the common movement issues found in conventional bases. Unlike traditional methods, it also provides a reliable surface for vehicle park pads or access for maintenance vehicles without rutting, making it ideal for spaces that require occasional heavy load-bearing capacity.

Superior Drainage

Water can infiltrate efficiently through the TRASS BED layer, reducing runoff and preventing pooling, making it perfect for pet-friendly applications.

Cleaner, Faster Installation

Unlike compacted crushed stone, TRASS BED provides immediate stability without the need for extensive compaction or multiple installation steps.

Eco-Friendly Solution

By allowing water to percolate naturally, Grass on TRASS supports a more sustainable landscape design.

A Smarter Solution for Rooftop Artificial Turf

Rooftop artificial turf installations present unique challenges, often relying on pedestal and plastic turf tray systems that elevate the turf above the surface. While these systems offer a solution for rooftop applications, they can be expensive.

By switching to a ROMEX TRASS BED installation, it can significantly reduce the project cost up to 50%. A sub-base of 3/4″ clear crush to bring the height up, combined with 1.5″ of TRASS BED, offers a significantly more affordable and efficient alternative. While exact pricing varies by region, ROMEX TRASS BED consistently proves to be the cheaper, easier-to-install option compared to plastic turf trays. This makes it a compelling choice for rooftop projects where cost-effectiveness and long-term stability are top priorities.

Perfect for Pet Owners

One of the biggest concerns with artificial turf, especially for pet owners, is drainage. Traditional base materials can trap odors and create puddling, making maintenance a headache. With ROMEX TRASS BED, liquids drain away efficiently, keeping the surface cleaner and fresher for longer.

Stepping Stone Applications

TRASS BED is also an excellent solution for stepping-stone applications. By placing TRASS between steppers, it ensures proper drainage while maintaining long-term stability. This prevents shifting and settling over time, making it an ideal choice for permeable hardscape designs that integrate pavers with artificial turf.

The Future of Artificial Turf Installations

By integrating ROMEX TRASS BED into artificial turf installations, landscapers and homeowners can enjoy a long-lasting, hassle-free solution that stays level, drains properly, and withstands the test of time. Whether you’re designing a backyard oasis, a commercial green space, or a rooftop artificial turf system, Grass on TRASS ensures stability, permeability, and performance.
