What we have used for drainage is the guys that built it had a contract to repair a street around the corner. They took off the top layer of tarmac with a machine and it was in small peices like gravel.
They built up the track area so it was above the surounding land and compacted it.
Layed the astro ontop and this is Fantastic drainage.  No need to put drains in the ground this way. |
Is there much padding between the turf and the hard tarmac surface? Seems like it would be tough on the cars.
