Can artificial turf handle monsoon rain and drainage?

Yes, when installed correctly. Turf drains through the backing into a compacted, permeable base that moves water away from the surface. The most common cause of puddles is not the turf itself; it is poor grading or an underbuilt base. AZ Turf King installs with drainage-first grading so your yard performs during monsoon storms.
