Answer: No, with correct installation.

Artificial turf does not collect standing water. Artificial turf is considered one of the best turf solutions for efficiently draining water.

Important To Know:

While artificial turf itself cannot collect water, the ground beneath it can. With this in mind, drainage must be considered during the installation stage. This should include even grading (avoiding dips on the surface) and drainage layers beneath the artificial turf – if working with clay or compacted earth. Professional installers will have artificial turf drainage solutions for your area – including “carpeting” or other drainage filler solutions.
