Why the base matters on North Texas clay

Clay soil shrinks and swells with the weather. A turf yard only stays flat if the base underneath is built for it.

A white house with dark timber trim, a wide green lawn and paved paths.

In this tip

  1. Clay moves
  2. Set the grade first
  3. Compact in layers
  4. Hold the edges

Clay moves

Wet clay swells and dry clay cracks. A thin base lets that movement show through as dips and ripples.

Set the grade first

Before anything is added, the ground is shaped so water runs away from the house and off the turf.

Compact in layers

The base goes down in stages, each one compacted, so it stays firm and even.

Hold the edges

Pinned and secured edges keep the turf from shifting along beds, fences and walks.
